So next time your tap water tastes like a Monday at the YMCA swimming pool, don’t panic. Remember the small, heroic chlorine molecules working overtime to keep you healthy. Maybe give them a little nod of appreciation before you grab that filter pitcher.
And if you’re really over it? Invest in a filter. Your taste buds will thank you, and you’ll never have to suffer that surprise 2 AM pool gulp again. Unless, of course, you actually enjoy the taste of public pools. In that case—cheers?
