How long should I aerate water to get rid of the chlorine in it?

Depends on a couple factors like the size of your barrel, incoming chlorine load, ect. Might be easier to put a cheap carbon filter on the line.

Overnight and the chlorine will dissipate naturally without need for aeration. Chloramines (if you have them) will take longer, I think you can only get rid of those by reverse osmosis, filters and aeration won't work.

KDF(catalized carbon) filters will also remove the chloramine. Vitamin c will break down chloramine.We have chloramine only in denver water. Some have both.Many are still chlorine only in the USA

This is the filter that I have used. It says it removes chlorine and chloramines. https://www.amazon.com/Garden-Hose-Filter-Chloramines-Pesticides/dp/B007I6MN72

When I had city water, I used Humic Acid to bind up the chlorine

The method of removal is really simple Just fill a large open tank, open bucket or uncovered wide mouth jug with your chlorinated tap water. Let it sit overnight and the chlorine will naturally evaporate. No need to over think this one...
