That is a good product. Believe me it will not remove enough to cause health problems for your fish.
Seachem Prime is the gold standard in the fish keeping hobby. If it actually does remove any O2, its most likely negligible. Don't believe everything you read on the internet
This video should have info on filters you can use. It's possible that would be a cheaper option in the long run, even if Prime is ok. You also could let the water circulate for a few days which lets the chlorine evaporate and should have plenty of oxygen from the movement at the surface.
Most treated water has chloramines in it.
You can use Sodium Thiosulfate to remove chlorine, but I think it just breaks the ammonia off in chloramines instead of neutralizing the ammonia like Prime or Amquel does.
The water treatment will only hurt the oxygen content of the water if you overdose it.
Your filter breaks down the water treatment chemicals over time too, so don't worry about it.

From what i was told if you put the water in a bucket and let it sit for 24hrs the chlorine evaporates out of the water
The only problem with this is it is draing part of the new water out with the old
You'll notice reductions in O2 levels only after over dosing, if dosed properly you need not worry.
