------- Clorine is in solution. It diminishes as it's used against organics so it's a good thing that you smell some Cl. That said a clean smelling glass of water is to help remove the gasses. A tap screen that airates the water and hold the glass way below the tap or try shaking a bottle of water to allow the Cl to escape.


The smell was awfull the color was a dark gray.
------ not sure of your water system but many systems use a large tank creating a slow flow and add Alum to create "floc". The large "floc" falls to the bottom of the tank before the water goes to filters. Some alum is still in the water as it leaves the plant. Some systems also add lime to increase the ph and coat the system's pipes to prevent corrosion.

Maybe call your water supplier and ask for an understanding of your water system ?
