Tip #22: Not only does chlorinated tap water taste bad, it is also not very good for your health. The problem is that the cheap filtration systems (the pitcher & faucet mounted types) don't filter out chlorine & the filtration systems that do are very expensive.
Try this homemade solution. Since chlorine will evaportate out of the water given enough time & air, let your water sit on the counter for 24-48 hours before running it through an inexpensive pitcher filter. In time, it becomes an easy system to maintain. Before bed each night, fill your water containers & set them out. Use the oldest one first for the least chlorinated water.
