The other option was radiation and people freak out over that too.
Then there is the natural approach but that comes with the chance of

Spin the wheel and take a chance.

Swimming pools use much more chlorine than tap water.

They are not supposed to.
A pool should run between 1ppm and 3ppm Cl and tap water can be as
high as 4ppm although it is usually in that 1-3 range.
When I lived in the city (DC) my tap water tested "ideal" on a pool
test kit.

Have you never been in a swimming pool? Maybe the UK uses more chlorine? If I swallow tap water, I cannot taste the chlorine. SOMETIMES, if I run the kitchen tap really fast, there's a faint odour of it. But if I swallow even the smallest amount of swimming pool water, it tastes EXTREMELY chloriney. And you can smell it in the room. And it stings your eyes.

I have a pool in the back yard.
Maybe your public pools are loading up the chlorine but then they are
probably violating the health code. My wife runs 7 at the country club
and the health department will bust them for having the chlorine too
high as fast as being too low.
Just the volume of water involved and the fact that it gets splashed a
lot, aerating it does make the smell worse.
Occaisionally you may "shock" a pool - makes the chlorine high for a
"short" time.

There's so many bloody codes nowadays that there soon won't be any public pools etc. It will become unworthwhile to run the business.

Why do people always refer to the balls with cold? Your balls are the last part of you to ever get cold, as they can descend and retract to maintain the perfect temperature. They never feel cold. If you jump in ice water, they can go right inside you, so remain at the correct 36C. If you're going to grumble about your genitalia, say your cock's cold.

It also is

I home brew so it's a plus that my tap water is Chlorinated and so the
Chlorine is easily removed.

http://www.vce.org/ErinBrockovichChloramination.html

I homebrew and never knew you're meant to dechlorinate. Am I doing
harm leaving it in?


It is strange that some people can't taste Chlorine in a brew but to
others (myself included) the finished brew tastes disgusting if the
Chlorine isn't removed. The Chlorine converts to Chlorophenols.

Chlorine can be removed simply by letting the tap water stand in an open
container but I like to boil all water as it not only removes any
Chlorine (but not Chloramine) but also sterilizes all ingedients put
into the brewing container and the container itself. You can also remove
the Chlorine simply by adding a crushed Camden tablet to the water. The
reaction takes place in seconds.


I've heard that stirring the water regularly removes chlorine quicker.

No need to burn it. It is already dead. What people call "blood" from
cooked meat is actually mixture of water and a protein called
myoglobin, which sends oxygen to the cells. Blood is removed at
slaughter. The myoglobin will retract back into the meat by letting it
rest before cutting. Meat is moist.

Off you go then. No-one's stopping you.

I brewed my own beer for many years until about 2003. I had to give
up because the chlorine in the water caused the fermentation to
produce vile-tasting chemicals, presumably chlorinated alcohols or
esters, that ruined every brew.

Then you should have used bottled water, like Highland Spring or
Carlsberg.


Any home brewer should know that water purity is important. It is
really easy to remove chlorine too. time, filters or an RO system can do
it.

Of course, if you sue the water company you may get a judgement that
says they have to deliver a case of Bid Lite to your house every wee.

Every time you wee or the company?

It's all about cheap food and corporate profit.


Ever had Kentucky Fried Chicken Cysts? Millions of Americans eat

Why would I not want cheap food?


You should! In fact, eat the cheapest food you can find.

Swimming pools use much more chlorine than tap water.

We had a swimming pool growing up. I use to test
the tap water with the pool testers. There was more
chlorine in the tap water.

Yup, you can have 4 ppm in tap water and the pool inspector can close
a pool if it gets much over 3 ppm. Usually they will pump up the
chlorine higher than that if they have a water main break or something
that may have contaminated the water in the pipe. They still issue a
boil water notice but nobody does.


and chlorine in the poor water doesn't cause your eyes to
stink. It is the pee pee reacting with other chemical
in the water
