Why does my tap water sometimes taste like chlorine and what can I do about it?
A small amount of chlorine is added to your tap water because it is traveling through pipes to reach your faucet, not because the water is dirty. You can purchase a water filter or simply let your water cool in a pitcher in your fridge with cucumber or lemon to improve the taste.
