City water has some chlorine and has a tiny risk of bleaching,

All automatic dishwasher detergents have lots of chlorine and might 
bleach (great for discolored plastics),

  I read some where that chlorine kills electrolitic caps DEAD 
 if it ever gets inside. 

*anything* getting into an electrolitic would kill it, or at least
change its specifications in an unwelcomed way. I wouldn't expect there
to be any more risk than with water. But there are other issues with
corrosion, so chlorine is a bad thing.
