Hello all
As far as I understand it (mostly by having endure various EU visits), the
rationale behind is that only potable water is to be in contact with the
product, and they normally base their judgement on the local requirement for
chlorine in potable water (around .5 to 1ppm in most countries). Hence water
that has more than that is hyper chlorinated and not potable, therefore
should not be in contact with the product.
Hope it helps
Best regards
