My sourdough starter was taking like 14 days to get active

Turns out my tap water had too much chlorine... switched to filtered water and it came to life in 3 days flat. Has anyone else had their water mess up their starter like that?

Did you try letting the tap water sit out overnight before using it? That worked for me when my starter was being stubborn.

I left a pitcher of water out for 24 hours before using it and my starter finally took off after three failed attempts. It's funny how the simplest fixes like that solve so many kitchen problems.
