[Misc] Water quality - Worthing/Ferring area

You know what - glad you posted this. I cleaned my whole sink, drainer, taps etc with fairly strong cleaner on Saturday so kind of assumed it was left over from that - but I have noticed a bit of a smell. We filter water anyway so hadn't noticed the taste, but did the smell.
#middleclassproblemsI've lived in Worthing for just over 3 years now and it does seem a much higher alkaline area than Brighton. Not noticed anything chemically though.

I notice a chlorine bleachy type smell when I have a cold shower,if I turn it to hot temperature then I can't smell it.
Is yours a similar smell? chloriney type smell?

Southern quote that their water comes mainly from the chalk aquifer (70%), so it's VERY hard, which will give it a harsh taste, but I'm not sure why the taste or smell would change. 30% comes from river and reservoirs, so maybe there's some variability there?

Given how shite the EA are at protecting rivers, maybe the rivers aren't clean anymore?

I had a quick look online and it seems adding chlorine is quite normal for some water companies in the final treatment process but if it's really strong then they may have put too much in.
There is nothing on the southern water website but Maybe worth contacting southern water to see what's afoot.
It certainly should not be so bad it's undrinkable so must be a problem somewhere.
Water companies use Chlorine to disinfect the pipes and kill bugs so the drinking water is safe.
Some claim it is good at protecting children's teeth from decay?

I fear you may be confusing chlorine with fluoride.

I understand it's fluoride that calcifies the pineal gland or third eye chakra.
It's certainly something to be concerned about.
Chlorine I think is used to kill bugs but I did wonder have they upped the dosage to give us all a human version of a sheep dip first thing in the morning to fight the virus.
