chlorinated water

Disinfected pool liquid

Chlorinated water is water treated with chlorine or chlorine compounds to kill bacteria and other microorganisms, making it safe for drinking or swimming.

Municipal tap water is typically chlorinated, as are swimming pools.

The treatment leaves a faint chemical smell and taste: The chlorinated water stung my eyes.
