According to Soma’s specs, their filter reduces chlorine by up to 95%. That’s huge. It doesn’t just mask the flavor; it physically removes the majority of the chemical.
Is it 100%? No, and that’s fine. A tiny amount of residual chlorine is actually good for keeping your pitcher from growing bacteria after a few days. You don’t want sterile water, you want great-tasting water.
So when you pour a glass, you’re getting the safety of municipal treatment without tasting the treatment itself. It’s the best of both worlds.
Why This Matters for Your Daily Rituals
Think about your morning smoothie. Chlorine can kill the fresh taste of berries or spinach. With a Soma filter, your smoothies taste like fruit, not tap water.
Or consider tea. That delicate jasmine green tea? Chlorine will wreck its subtlety. Filtered water lets the tea leaves actually shine. It’s like giving your palate a clean slate.
Even your houseplants will thank you. Some plants (looking at you, spider plants) are sensitive to chlorine. Using filtered water can prevent leaf tip burn. Your plant isn’t being dramatic; it just wants better H₂O.
