dechlorinate

Strip pool chemical

To dechlorinate is to remove chlorine from something, typically water.

Municipal tap water contains chlorine as a disinfectant, which must be removed before use in aquariums or brewing: Let the water sit overnight to dechlorinate, I used a chemical treatment to dechlorinate the tank water.
