Chlorine Taste in Water
If you think that your water smells and tastes like chlorine, you might be right. Chlorine is a disinfectant used to treat city water and keep it safe from bacteria as it travels to your home. The city is required to remove any harmful contaminants and keep it that way as part of their service to you, but no one wants to drink water that smells like a swimming pool.
While chlorine is very important to protect your water from contamination, it is no longer needed when you are using it in your home and it can cause some troubles inside your home.
What Are The Negative Effects Of Chlorine?
- It will strip the natural oils that your body needs, which dries out and irritates your skin and hair.
- Chlorinated water accelerates the aging process, similar to too much exposure to the sun.
- The foul taste ruins drinking water and foods that require boiling.
- The harsh smell makes showers and baths uncomfortable to breathe in.

My wife and I had Juturna install water filter and RO systems in our home at Lake Oconee. No more scrubbing calcium rings from everything water touched. The RO is fantastic at the sink! Water shouldn’t have a taste or smell and RO doesn’t.
