The pink water is safe to drink.
I don't care if I get downvoted for this: Who you gonna call?
Would have upvoted if not for the disclaimer.
PS: I DON'T CARE IF I GET DOWNVOTED FOR THIS.
Not the end of the world. You can buy potassium permanganate tablets to purify drinking water.
What's the concentration of that vs the concentration here. Note that we also use chlorine to treat drinking water (e.g. on canoe trips), but you don't want to be drinking that unless it's very low concentration. A quick google search suggests that they are used to "improve water clarity" [0], so at a guess you don't use enough of it to turn the water pink.

The chlorine in water will evaporate into the air if left in an open container; Pour yourself a glass of water, and let it stand for 30-60 minutes. It should then taste a LOT less Chlorine-y. Even in a sealed container you shouldn't be able to taste it after about 3 days. This is why water from a mains pipe tastes of chlorine, but the same water pumped into a water tank (for heating etc), doesn't.
I use a Brita filter instead.
