City water may 'smell' like chlorine but it does NOT have bleach in it it to kill anything. It is added at the
filtration plant to kill bacteria BEFORE it is released to the city's water. All you get is the "smell"/"odor"
of chlorine trapped in the lines. Leave a glass of tap water on the counter and all the odor and the taste from
the odor of chlorine disappear within minutes.
One note about chlorine. It's doesn't really have a strong odor in water. But when it kills something in the water is gasses off.
So if there is a strong smell of chlorine it is likely all used up and more should be added. What you are describing rockhill is likely the chlorine off gassing, until it is gone. That is why there is no smell after a few mins. One disclaimer, I am no water or chlorine expert, I learned this from a course I took on spa water when I got my spa....

SIGH. Someone always finds something to pick apart in every thread.
Sorry Sam. Truly meant no harm. I only wanted to pass on something I learned along the way! Wasn't intentionally trying to pick anything apart.
