Troubleshooting Taste and/or Smell of Chlorine in Clean Water Cause: Concentration of chlorine in feed water is above the limit, which damaged the membrane. Pre-filter does not work or does not remove chlorine from feed water. Solution: If the concentration of chlorine in feed water is above 2.0 ppm an additional pre-filtration stage should be used. -
