Chlorine Taste in Water - Municipal Water

CHLORINE IN YOUR DRINKING WATER

Chlorine is added to municipal water and water in storage tanks. The chlorine is added to kill all germs and bacteria that could be harmful to us. However, this spoils the taste and smell of your water. Also, the amount that is added to the water fluctuates, making your water smell and taste even worse at times.

In the long run, the consumption of chlorine can be damaging to your health. The Disinfectant by-products of Chlorine are Carcogenic. Research is still being done but problems such as an increase in Cancer and Heart problems have been connected to the use of chlorine in drinking water. Chlorine is effective in killing germs and bacteria, but should be removed from the water before consumption.

Water filters currently provide the easiest and quickest solution to the problems related to Chlorination. They are uniquely designed to work with municipally treated water. Drinking filtered water is much more economical than drinking bottled water.

The filtration process involves sediment filters and Carbon made from Coconut shell through which the water flows. This filter media blocks the passage of the contaminants through the processes of physical obstruction and chemical adsorption. During the chemical process of adsorption, contaminants are encouraged to break their bond with water molecules and chemically adhere to the filter media.

We recommend the following products as a solution to chlorine in your water:

SYSTEM 40 Under Sink Water Filter
The System 40 is guaranteed to remove between 93 and 97% of Chlorine from your drinking water at a flow-rate of 1,5 liters per minute. It lasts for apr. 40 000 liters and is currently, the easiest unit to install, on the market.
Whole House Filter System
Whole House filtration systems remove the Chlorine from all water flowing trough the house; drink from all taps, bath & shower in Chlorine free water and your appliences will last longer.
EC-105 5 Stage Reverse Osmosis System
This is the most sophisticated method of water filtration. We recommend this system if you not only have a problem with chlorine, but also a high TDS reading. (TDS = Total Disolved Salts/ Solids) These problems occur along the coast or in places where the municipality is unable to reduce the levels of Calcium and Magnesium in the water to acceptable levels.
