Default Water - Chloramines

I'm a beginner to the hydroponics thing and I'm starting this year with a raintower, drip system, and a flood/drain system. I have a mix of plants, but all are vegetables.

I checked my water quality report and found that my water is treated for microbes by using chloramines.

The question I have is: Do I need to treat my water or use RO water or can I get by without taking any additional steps?

I looked into filtration systems at Home Depot and this is beginning to get past my allotted "fun hobby" budget. I did see a $50 filter that removes a large percentage of chlorine. Not sure if it works the same on chloramines.

My other option would be to use Campden tablets as I understand it.

I was hoping that I could get away with using my regular tap water.
