How to quickly remove chlorine from tap water

The tap water we usually drink contains a certain amount of chlorine. The reason for the presence of chlorine is that it has a good bactericidal effect and can kill some bacteria in the tap water. However, when we drink it, if it contains chlorine, we often feel that the taste is wrong and it will also have adverse effects on health. If you want to quickly remove the chlorine in the tap water, you can take out the water and put it in the sun, or you can use chemical methods to treat it.

How to quickly remove chlorine from tap water

1. Dry the water in the sun: expose the water to the sun for a day.

2. Water trapping: Leave the water to sit naturally for 7-8 days without light. Keep the water sanitary as in the first step.

3. Chemical treatment: If you use 1/10000 of "Haibo" (common name for sodium thiosulfate) to treat tap water, it can be used after 5 minutes.

4. Light method in air pump: For example, to process 50 kg of water, you can use an air pump with a large air volume to blow the water away, and then use a 100W light bulb to illuminate it, and it can be used after half an hour.

5. Washing machine water trap method: You can fill the washing machine with clean water, press the strong wash button to make the water spin quickly, and it can be used after 5 minutes.

6. Activated carbon: You can use a Coca-Cola bottle, make more than ten small holes at the bottom, fill it with activated carbon, cover the bottle mouth with a hose, and drip tap water through the filter bottle filled with activated carbon.

7. Aeration: Use an air pump to inflate continuously for one day.

8. Vitamin C: Vitamin C has reducing properties and can neutralize chlorine. Put 3-4 tablets of vitamin C in 10 liters of water and wait for it to melt.

What does the chlorine concentration in tap water represent?

The water plant determines the concentration of disinfectant added based on the degree of organic pollution in the tap water source. The disinfectant concentration of tap water leaving the plant is positively correlated with the degree of organic pollution in the source water.

Organic pollutants are the main pollutants in tap water today. Therefore, for the end user, the higher the chlorine concentration tested, the more serious the organic pollution in the tap water he drinks. However, because the disinfectant will gradually degrade as the tap water flows in the pipe network, and will gradually evaporate when encountering large pollution sources or facilities such as water tanks and pools, the concentration of many tap waters with heavy organic pollution is not high when tested in the user's home due to the decomposition and volatilization of chlorine.
