Difference in Taste and Smell in Tap Water

The flavour and smell of your water can change without warning, and it's often tied to what's happening before it even reaches your tap.

Reminders

• MINERAL CONTENT IN WATER
  Minerals occur naturally in the water supply and depending on its concentration, it can be beneficial or harmful to humans.
  To be sure, it is recommended to always install a water filter.

   

• CHLORINE LEVEL
  Chlorine is a commonly used disinfectant in water treatment facilities. It helps eliminate harmful bacteria, viruses, and growth of algae and other disease-causing organisms in the water supply.

   

• COPPER PIPES
  Over time, copper pipes and fittings may undergo corrosion due to elevated water acidity, low dissolved oxygen, and increased chlorine levels, which causes leaks, water discolouration, and a metallic taste.
