I re-post this occasionally because it doesn’t seem widely known. If you don’t like the taste of chlorine (often it’s chloramine used now, it lasts longer) in tap water, there’s a very fast and cheap solution. Crush half a tablet of Vitamin C into a benchtop water container like this one, when filling it. The vitamin C removes the chorine and chloramine instantly, giving you beautiful-tasting water. I’m a huge fan of chlorine and chloramine in water, you want that stuff in there as the water makes its way through the pipes, to kill any nasties. This is the fastest and cheapest way to remove it again for drinking. We use half a crushed tablet per 10 litres of water, you need hardly any.
