Why Remove Chlorine from Your Water?
Chlorine damages your skin and hair by killing cells and drying out the oils that retain moisture.
Chlorine-free showers and baths will leave your skin softer and more hydrated.
Your hair will be silky smooth and hair color will last longer.
Washing your clothes in chlorinated water fades colors and damages fabric...it's just like adding small amounts of bleach to every load.
Washing your hands, face or even the dishes will be easier on your skin with chlorine-free water.
Eliminate Odor and Bad Taste from Your Water
If your water comes from a lake or reservoir, algae can grow in the source surface water and produce by-products that give your water a bad taste or smell.
While these algae by-products are not a health threat, they can make it very unpleasant to bathe, shower or wash your clothes because of the foul odor.
Naturally, you don't want to drink water with a bad taste, even when water authorities assure you that there is no health threat.
A quality whole house water filter will eliminate odors and bad tastes from all the water you use to cook, drink, bathe, shower and wash your clothes.
How Does it Improve Indoor Air Quality?
Chlorine evaporation from water is a key source of indoor air pollution in many homes.
The EPA reports that most American homes have elevated levels of chloroform gas due to chlorine evaporation from treated water.
Chlorine gas is released into your home every time you shower, bathe, flush a toilet or wash your clothes with chlorinated water.
Many asthma sufferers report tightness in the chest after a warm shower in chlorinated water.
Most people only recognize the asthma-shower connection for the first time after a water filter is installed.
Only a whole house water filter eliminates all the possible sources of chlorine within your home.
Do You Smell Rotten Eggs or See Rust Stains?
Iron in you water does not pose any immediate health concerns, but it can lead to several frustrating problems.
Iron can stain fixtures such as sinks, tubs, showers, toilets and even your laundry.
Your major appliances such as dishwashers, water heaters and washing machines begin to rust much faster with iron in the water.
Your hair may be discolored when washed in water with high levels of iron.
Certain bacteria live in iron rich water and produce hydrogen sulfide, the source of "rotten egg smell."
This type of bacteria thrives in hot water heaters, so it is important to filter all your water using a whole house filter.
