im going to dd right now and im going to ask if they filter their water and what kind of system they use..i dont care if they dont plan on filtering mine though..i already got the betes
Ordinary paper filters will filter out only particles (like coffee grounds). Since chlorine in water is dissolved in the water (and not in the form of a particle), paper filters won't remove the chlorine. I don't know whether or not a charcoal filter system would remove chlorine.
I believe Germany does not use chlorine in their drinking water.
I am a citizen of the USA and shared living space with a household of people in Hamburg for 3 months.
The water tasted fine, and I never got moldy feet.
I think the typical practice in Germany is to wear house shoes indoors, after taking off street shoes, and not be bare-foot in the home. (I think people are bare-footed in most households in the USA).
Also, in Hamburg, we kept the floors pretty clean, with mopping several times a week.

Thats right, Germany does not use chlorine. Thus, our bathrooms are full of mold and everony has sweaty feets. :P
I'd really like to have chlorine and fluoride in my water like you do. But ok i dont have diabetes.

I'd like to know how Germany cleans public water for drinking.
I think I have heard it is a "reverse osmosis" process, but I don't know for sure. Maybe that's more expensive than chlorine.

@7monday
Thanks for the hints. To be honest i exaggerated and it was meant as a joke *scnr*
Ok, some facts - here in Germany, water is usually cleaned using a chain of several different procedures:
1. mechanical procedures (adsoprtion, filtering, stripping, grading, etc.)
2. biological procedures (adding nitrates, filtering out nitrates)
3. chemical procedures (oxidation, precipitation)
And yes, here in Cologne we also use mops to tidy our floors ;D

WOW
It sounds like a silly joke but how interesting. Who would have thought?
Thanks for the heads up
