Tap water
- Question
- Hello,
We are often told to let the water run from the tap before touching the water. How long should we let the water run? What is the purpose of this action?
Thank you. - Answer
- Dear questionner,
Indeed, it's advisable to let the water run from the tap before using the water (to wash, to drink ...).
Just let it run for a few seconds.
This eliminates the stagnant water left in the tap between uses. This precaution is recommended even when the tap has not been used for some time (after night, after an absence for several days).
Hoping to have answered your question.
Sincerely,
