We had a purification system installed in our place years ago. It consisted of
a chlorinator, an osmosis filter and a holding tank. I had to laugh at one guy
who liked out tap water and commented on its purity, so much better tasting
than the chlorinated water in the city. We probably had more chlorine in the
water than his city water.
