Prill beads are just magnesium oxide beads. They may add some magnesium to the water, but not do much else. If you want magnesium, add some magnesium chloride drops to your water. Don't waste your money. Basically, they won't clean or detox anything.
Chlorine will outgas from the water overnight if left uncovered. You can also aerate it or bring it to a boil to remove the chlorine. Charcoal filter systems should remove chlorine, but reverse osmosis systems must have a chlorine removing filter to protect the RO membrane, so RO water is probably good. Chloramine is more difficult to remove. There are some aquarium water treatments that remove the chloramine and the resultant ammonia. Some say that ascorbic acid (vitamin C) will remove chlorine and chloramine. The ammonia is not really a problem for humans and many foods will neutralize it. If you can get past the statement that the EPA believes chlorinated water to be safe to drink, this article gives a lot of information about chlorine and chloramide in water. <http://www.sfwater.org/modules/showdocument.aspx?documentid=4125> Some aquarium water treatments contain sodium thiosulfate which can remove both chlorine and chloramine. Some people advocate taking sodium thiosulfate orally as an antioxidant and free radical scavenger... Check with your local water treatment plant and find out what sort of chlorine they use. They should be able to provide that info for you.
