I use Chlorine and have had good results. But yes, the cost is alot of
cleaning, and a bleach-smelling kitchen and face/hair until you take a
shower.

Not a bad idea, but for the smaller investment, I've had good luck using
bottled water for those last two gallons. Depending on where you shop,
I get mine at $0.87/gallon. Worth it to me. As for the other 3
gallons, I use Brita. The drinking water also adds some minerals to the
mineral-sketchy Brita-filtered tap water.
