Ever turn on the tap and get that swimming pool aroma? That’s chlorine, and while it’s meant to kill germs, too much makes you feel like you’re sipping from a public pool.
This is super common if you’re on city water. The fix? Let a pitcher of water sit in the fridge for an hour—the chlorine gas will just float away. Magic, but slower.
If you want a permanent solution, get a carbon filter for your faucet or a whole-house system. Your water will taste like, well, water, not a chemical plant.
