Any idea what makes tap water smell like a pool? It evaporates out pretty quickly (a day or so in a normal pitcher), whatever the cause, and I've always assumed it was chlorine since it smells like a tiny waft of bleach.
- eesmith 8y agoQuoting myself in the comment you replied to, "the trichloramine product of chlorine interacting with urea".
- Groxx 8y agoThat's probably less of an issue for water straight from the tap than a pool / a bucket of water that was peed into. Unless there's more urea in tap water than I expect.
