How to remove any chlorine taste
Like all drinking water, Veritas water is disinfected with chlorine, the most common and effective disinfectant. This ensures absolute hygiene, as chlorine eliminates bacteria and disinfects the water.
However, with some simple measures, it is possible to remove the chlorine smell and taste, which may bother some people. Chlorine is a gas, and to make it evaporate, simply let tap water sit for a few tens of minutes in an open jug before drinking it, or store it in the fridge in an uncovered glass jug or bottle.
