Perhaps you don't mind the side effects as shown in the safety sheet. I do mind. I'd prefer to stay healthy.

I would suggest that your water authority uses sodium carbonate to adjust the PH after chlorine or sodium hyperchlorite is added to purify the water. I know mine (SAWS) does.
In the 2006 "Reregistration Eligibility Decision (R.E.D) for Sodium Carbonate; Weak Mineral Bases," the EPA notes that there are no known human health hazards when sodium carbonate is used according to EPA and FDA GRAS guidelines and that "no additional information is needed" to assess its safety.
