Many people do not realize that chlorine does not totally dissipate in 24 hours! The chlorine filter is for filling ponds without having to add the chemicals.
Chlorine is a quick killer in fairly low concentrations (less than 0.5 ppm). Even in very small concentrations, it burns the edges of the gills with long term after effects. It also can be deadly to the bio-converter bacteria.
Treatment:
 In an open container, water will release about 1/4 of the chlorine concentration per day to the air. Water that has set in an open container for a week or just for a couple days if heavily aerated, is normally safe to use or better yet, pretreat tap water with one of the commercial chemical products. Follow the manufacturer's directions.
Please do your fish a favor and Always treat your water during water changes!
