What, you might ask is a long time? Early aquarium scuttlebut (often
slipping into print) was a week or ten days. Not so.

You can imagine our shock, when the biologist for the San Francisco Water
Department told us the truth at a San Francisco Aquarium Society meeting,
last year. The measured half life of properly administered chloramine in a
clean domestic water supply is five weeks! Aging is not any kind of
alternative.
