Chlorine
Cause:

For almost 100 years Chlorine has been added to some municipal water supplies to disinfect the water supply to your home. Often you may notice its distinct smell or taste but even without these indications, chlorine and its by-products may be present in your water. Though it may do a good job killing bacteria and fungi, chlorine is a toxin and can cause damage to your health.

Chlorine is absorbed through the skin at a greater rate than through the water you drink. As a result, there is greater danger to your health from showering and bathing in chlorinated water than drinking it. Chlorine can aggravate sinus conditions, asthma, allergies, emphysema and skin rashes. It destroys protein in your body and dries skin and hair.

Research indicates Chlorine from municipal water supplies contributes to short and long-term health problems and should be removed from your home for drinking, showering and bathing.

Symptoms (short term):
  • Chlorine smell and taste.
  • Municipal Water District verification of chlorination.
  • Dry skin and hair.
  • Allergies, skin rashes.
