Hi,
I live in South Australia, and it is common knowledge that we have chlorine in our water. At this time of year it is apparently increased.
Also, recently, we had a water softener removed from our premises and as such have direct water from the mains to the taps. The softener was old and the owners decided to remove it rather than replace it.
Since then I have noticed some issue with me, especially when showering.
Obviously I can smell the chlorine, but I am also getting a horrible tinny sensation in my mouth, even the mere thought of going for a shower induces this tinny taste as if I have some aluminium foil in my mouth. I dread going for a shower now. What's worse, is it is also more difficult to play my guitars (being steel stringed) without getting this horrible tinny taste in my mouth.
Is this the chlorine doing it to me? I wouldn't have thought so as I owned a pool at my previous house and never had this issue swimming etc.
Could it just be the hardness of the water?
Anyone here from Adelaide have issues with the water when showering. I know some people complain about their hair smelling like chlorine
