'''Potential problems'''<br>
— chlorination is less effective in alkaline water (pH above 8.0);<br>— when the water contains excessive organic matter or suspended material, it will need to be pretreated;<br>— the cost and availability of chlorine compounds can be serious limitations;<br>— chlorination affects the taste of water and for this reason the water may be rejected by consumers who have not been informed;<br>
— on the other hand, users may believe a chlorine taste indicates that the water has been disinfected, but water can still taste of chlorine even when not enough has been added to purify it.
