Careful here...

Removing chlorine on a 'whole house' basis is not a good idea. Doing so can cause bacteria and odor problems. You are much better off removing chlorine on a POU (point of use) basis like in the shower and for cooking and beverage production at the kitchen sink. And the concern should be more than just removing the taste and odor of chlorine. You should want DPB and THM removal too. That is disinfection by-products known as trihalomethanes which are serious health concerns. This type of water treatment should be learned/done through a water treatment dealer or you may feel 'safe' and actually be worse off than you were originally.
