Chlorine
Although chlorine is not officially classified as a cause of "problem water," it is getting more and more attention for its adverse effects once inside the home. In addition to creating an unpleasant taste and odor which can deter consumers from drinking their recommended eight glasses of water a day, chlorine also dries skin and hair and is known to fade clothing during the wash cycle. During showering, chlorine is absorbed through the skin and may also be inhaled in vapor form.
There’s an easy way to eliminate the offensive taste and smell of chlorine in your home’s water supply. A single-tank dechlorinator uses activated carbon to remove chlorine throughout the entire home. Its innovative upflow design allows for water to enter the bottom of the tank and flow up through the carbon bed. As a result, the water flow expands the bed, preventing any blockages by foreign substances and ensuring that the inside of the tank remains clean.
Other systems combine dechlorination and softening or filtration for the ultimate water quality. |
