How long have you lived there. When we moved in, our house had been vacant for several months and the water had a terrible chlorine smell. It would even irritate your skin in the shower. I installed a cheap whole house filter from Lowes with the charcoal element. I put another charcoal filter on the shower. I had less than $100 into both. After a couple of months, the smell went away. We are just thinking that the chlorine setting in the pipes had a lasting effect that usage took care of. I installed the filters in December and have never replaced the cartridges and we have no smell.
