why does water taste stale after a few days?
In: Chemistry
That’s not stale, that’s actually how water tastes, kind of! After it’s sat for a few days, the gasses in it have evaporated out and so has the chlorine that’s been added to the water. I actually prefer it that way….
Now, fluoride if added to your water does not evaporate out, so that will add some taste and so will the delivery method of your water – the type of pipe. There are other things that can add taste, but in general what you call stale water is closer to the taste of actual water then water fresh out of the pipe.
