>When used, it degrades to water and salt as the oxygen pops off to oxidize impurities. Are you saying that the chlorine in drinking water turns to salt through oxidization? How is the Na added, specifically? I'm asking because when I moved to NYC from Denmark, I initially had a hard time even eating salad at restaurants because I could taste the chlorine from the tap water it was rinsed in. Is it just because there will always be pure chlorine remnants in the water? I'm genuinely curious.
