Jiaxing tap water smells of bleaching powder. Can I drink it directly?

Answer: The conventional disinfection method of tap water is to add a certain amount of bleaching powder for disinfection. It is normal for tap water to have residual odor. Even if there is no smell of bleaching powder, it is recommended not to drink it directly. If family conditions permit, it is recommended to install a household water purifier. A better water purifier can produce pure water and can be directly drunk.
