Well, that's what you may expect in Oz.

Anyway if you look down the page, it will be seen that all this has been said before:banana

I refill my bottle at home (I have an on-bench filter) . I bet many others do as well.

Yep I have on bench filter..

It's a natural reaction, sunlight speeds it up

Chlorine is lost when it reacts with bacteria and other organisms, but also when it is hit by sunlight. Chlorine forms hypochlorite ions in water, the molecule that is measured as free chlorine.

When ultraviolet radiation from the sun hits it, it breaks apart, releasing the chlorine as gas to the atmosphere. Sunlight is so effective in reducing chlorine that a bright sunny day can reduce the chlorination level of a pool by 90 percent in just two hours.

If your google I'm sure you can find some chemistry sites to explain it all properly.

Sunlight speeds up the reaction.
Works quite well even without it.
