I think I have solved the problem of chlorinated tap water without having to use a filter - this stuff will turn the chloramine into NH4 and the chlorine is either bound or released into the atmosphere (not sure which), either way it's safe for plants as it's intended use is for aquariums with plants. The pH is unaffected. The reason for doing this is to keep the chlorine in tap water from killing bacteria. There's no point in using Azos etc if tap water just kills them all.

If it's good enough for aquarium plants, and fish which are especially sensitive to chlorine, then it should be ok for pumpkins, but I'll do a bit of testing first before chucking it into the 1000l tank!
