>Chlorine in tap water will kill your gut microflora with long term use. Some more sensitive bacteria (reuteri) are most important for immune system!

That doesn't appear to be the case[0], but I'm no expert on these things.

What I do know is that water chlorination can provide safe drinking water for millions who don't (or didn't, until their water was chlorinated) have safe drinking water.

>At least leave tap water stand still for couple of hours, so the chlorine gets out!

That was my first thought and it's a good one, if such things concern you.
