@Blogfast. I should not deviate from topic.....I know, though running the cold water tap fast smells exactly the same as opening up a bottle of
bleach, that I will say.
Good News: I have found these excellent references on measuring the carbon pores, well within my reach to work on, I only put them here in case
others might be reading: I can't obviously employ the nitrogen gas, but the iodine capacity number looks interesting.

Chris:
Why not turn it into small project, those chlorine concerns?
Look at this kit:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Watersafe-Drinking-Water-All-in-On...
Although I cannot vouch for the validity of obtained results, I feel it would be good enough to compare raw tap water, post-Brita tap water, a good
quality bottled water and a good quality deionised water, for some decent, relative data.
Total solids meters (conductivity meters, pen type) are also cheaply available from loads of eBay sellers.
Peace of mind plus scientific corroboration of your concerns, what's not to like? 
Activated carbon was once available from pharmacies, brand name 'Norit', if I recall well. Dirt cheap too...

It's no concern I have. Just the chemistry and the possibility that I can create something to replace buying it..and thankyou for the link
