So, I've been concerned about the excess chlorine and selenium in our water supply, lately. Filtration is not enough, in the summer, at least.
So, I've been studying water filtration and other ways to handle this scenario. Surprisingly, the most effective solution I've found so far seems to be vitamin C.
Vitamin C has been studied and found to have a powerful dechlorinating effect:

Vitamin C has also been found to potentially reduce selenium to its elemental non-bioavailable form (so the body doesn't use it): www.drlam.com/blog/vitamin-c-absorption/1227/
Citric acid also has a dechlorinating effect, but it's not as powerful as vitamin C.
I've noticed that I feel less toxic when I use vitamin C. It's pretty miraculous.
Anyway, so I guess the old trick of adding lemon or lime to water to neutralize chlorine isn't just about taste/smell.

One gram of ascorbic acid will neutralize 1 milligram per liter of chlorine per 100 gallons of water. The reaction is very fast.
