Hi everyone,
I just tested my tap water and it showed no chlorine? Did they take the chlorine out or are my test strips shotty?

No, they took the fluoride out of the water! They still use chlorine as treatment!

Some days, I can use my nose to test for chlorine. No test strips needed!

Test strips have to be kept in an air tight bottle to keep them viable, especially the test for chlorine. If the strips are left out for more than a few minutes before using, they can give misleading readings. The test kits with the drops and colour paddles for comparison are probably better for that reason  |
