Chlorine in Tap Water

Many people dislike the odour of chlorine in their drinking water, but it seems to be a necessary part of keeping our water supply in a pure state. There are many ways in which tap water can become contaminated, just in the pipes through which it travels to our taps. The addition of chlorine prevents germs and bacteria from building up and causing health problems.

Since it is a powerful disinfectant, chlorine is used only in the smallest amounts necessary. By the time we turn on our taps the amount of chlorine in the drinking water is somewhere between one and twenty drops per 1,000 litres. Imagine five baths of water with no more than twenty drops of chlorine divided between them. Not much, is it? But it's enough to keep us safe.

So what can we do about the odour that most of us complain about? An alternative to tap water is to use bottled water for the home or office. Bottled water goes through a strict filtration process to ensure that harmful chemicals and bacteria are eliminated. This means that bottled water often has no odour and tastes better than water straight from the tap. Bottled water is also a great option for those who are wary of any sort of chemicals in drinking water even in minute amounts ? filtered bottled water is usually chlorine-free.
