How To Remove Chlorine from Drinking Water
Chlorine is a chemical element that is commonly used by water industry as a common disinfectant. Water suppliers began chlorinating water early in the twentieth century to reduce the spread of water-borne pathogens such as cholera and typhoid fever.
Chlorine evaporates easily, that's why chlorinated water tastes like pool, or worse. Lately, utilities began experimenting with other chemicals that have less offencive smell - chlorine combined with another chemical, such as chloramines, which is a derivative of ammonia. Unfortunately, not only chloramines do not smell as offensively as free chlorine, they are also much harder to filter out.
