I still find it hard to believe that anyone buys chlorine remover given
what a rip off the stuff is. If you can find it, get some sodium
thiosulphate (I'm told photographic places might have it, or any
university chemistry supply place) and mix about 110 grams in an end total
of 200 millilitres of water. Add one or two drops per gallon of water to
be neutralized. If you know you have chloromines then add two drops per
gallon.

Of course, if that is what you are allergic to then it won't help you any.
My guess is that you don't have the space to age your water? An airstone
overnight will get rid of chlorine, but not chloromines, have to treat to
get rid of that.
