At the very low levels used in DRINKING WATER it is perfectly safe. Much higher concentrations are routinely used safely for other purposes such as sterilisers for baby feeding bottles and by the leisure and health care industry in spas, hydrotherapy pools and swimming pools. The reason why Chlorine can be a concern in DRINKING WATER relates to the fact that some people can be very sensitive to its taste and smell. The following information explains why you may notice a Chlorine taste or smell in your DRINKING WATER and what you can do if you are particularly sensitive.
