That’s how I do it. Too many different opinions on how to water air plants.

First, I’m no expert…but I soak mine in regular ol’ tap water once a week for usually a few hours because I forget about them having their bath. But they seem happy enough so…¯_(ツ)_/¯

You can soak the one that is blooming, because the flowers will rot if you water the flowers. And not all tillandsia can be soak, so you need to check on them, if they started to rot, stop soaking them. And 10 minutes every 2 weeks may be too little, if they didn’t plump back after soaking or giving water, it means they are still not getting enough water. I only grow the ionanthan species, and my adhd won’t allows me to see thirsty tillandsia, so I always kept mine hydrated.

Yes! I let my water sit in the bowl overnight so that the chlorine can evaporate first.
