If tap water is added to the Pond without dechlorinator, it's like getting lye soap into your eyes when you bathe! It may only sting this time, but over time it will do damage! There is NO amount of tap water, no matter how small, that can be added safely without de-chlorinatingit!
Pond Fish are much more delicate creatures than we are and the Chlorine and Chloramines in tap water affect their gills, reducing their ability to breathe over time. Each time you add tap water without de-chlorinating it, a little more damage is done! Not only will it make life miserable for the fish over time, it can be the cause of death in low oxygen situations (hot weather, a frozen pond, a broken pump) that they may have survived otherwise.
De-chlorinatoris a low cost investment into the health and survival of your Pond Fish. Even small amounts of chlorinated water will do harm over time.
If you think that you may already have done damage, then Koi TLC is the way to go (works for Goldfish, too)
