I don't call it tasteless. Having nothing in my mouth is lack of taste. When I put something in it and can perceive a difference, that's a taste. Municipal water here is not heavily chlorinated, so I don't have a problem when I have to drink some unfiltered. I've got extremely sensitive taste buds and sense of smell, so if there's even the slightest detectable parameter off in water, I'll be the one to notice it.

I'm so glad our new house won't be using copper pipes, because I've been able to taste that every now and then as well.
