CHLORINE - tastes like swimming pool water

 

Chlorine is most commonly used as a disinfectant in commercial and household sanitation, bleaching and maintenance of swimming pools.  Disinfection of public water supplies with chlorine manages bacteria levels in drinking water and kills other potentially harmful agents that contaminate lakes, rivers, streams and ground water.

 
Research has shown that chlorinated drinking water can increase the risk of cancer, heart disease, immune suppression, neurological damage and many other health problems.
