Roger Mexico Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I don't know where you lot have been, but tap water on the Island has always had times when it was over-chlorinated - to the point of undrinkability sometimes, though never reliably bad enough for most people that they bother to get filters or whatever. It's not a new thing and I'm not sure it's got worse. Maybe because more people drink bottled water, we've had something to compare it with in recent decades.

I don't think a filter will remove chlorine as its added as a gas, I just leave it open for a while to "gas off" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The few quid it costs isn’t going to send anyone in bankruptcy. Not really any different from the fridge magnets (probably made in China) that tourists buy. It will sit on the mantelpiece and be a talking point for a few days when they get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm questioning: is it Manx air and if it is then what quality controls are in place to ensure it is safe for consumers to breathe?

Non-Believer Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I suppose the jackboots would step in though if you stood by the TT course and bottled the whiff of Castrol R in FOM week and tried to market it as TT Air? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Yes, that is a point if it is air that was gathered when the. T.T. was on it should be banned . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
