Chlorine
About 70 years ago, 1 in 50 people could expect to get cancer in their lifetime. Today, with many new, different chemical compounds in our environment, 1 in 3 Americans, including 1 in 2 men, will become a cancer statistic.
Cancer is a human-made disease and is almost completely preventable. The purity of our water is one important factor in the prevention of such degenerative diseases. If you are on a municipal water system, you should seriously consider whole-house treatment for chlorine reduction and hardness for your health’s sake.
Although chlorine is the primary disinfectant used today, chloramines (chlorine and ammonia) are stronger because they are more robust than chlorine. However, clinical studies have not determined their health impact.
Regardless, many municipalities are switching to them. In your treatment decision making, you may want your whole-house water filter for chloramine reduction as well. Contact us for a free consultation on your filtering needs.
