Electric kettles with water dechlorination

Dechlorination of water

— declaring water helps reduce the content of residual chlorine, which is added to tap water for disinfection. The kettle keeps the water boiling longer than usual (typically 3–5 minutes) so that chlorine and its compounds evaporate. This makes the water safer and more pleasant to taste, especially if used for preparing baby food, tea, or coffee. Additionally, such a program helps kill more bacteria than with short boiling.
