Water filters are essesntial to all types of water coolers and fountains as they remove chlorine, limescale and other impurities that cause bad taste and odour from your mains water supply so just about everyone should benefit from a home water filtration system.
Even if chlorine were the only contaminant in your tap water (it’s significant to note that chlorine is in everyone’s tap water), there are important health benefits to using chlorine-free water. People who have pools or even pet fish knows that chlorine can kill as its sole purpose as a pesticide is to kill living cells and organisms.
When we consume chlorine, no matter how small the amount, it’s not healthly for our bodies. Chlorine has recently been linked to cancer, birth defects, heart disease and many serious illnesses.
However the nasties in tap water don’t stop at chlorine. More than 90% of all water systems in the United States contain traces of at least ten synthetic chemicals and lead. A recent report stated, “After reviewing over 10,000 pages of EPA documents acquired through the Freedom Of Information Act… over 2100 chemicals that can cause cancer have been detected in U.S. tap water.”
Because water utilities only test for about 75 contaminants, there could be plenty more out there that we don’t know about. So in knowing the risks, it’s important people start implementing change within their homes starting with quality, in-home water filtration.
