Why You Should Install A Chlorine Water Filter

If you hear someone talking about a chlorine water filter you may ask why would I want a chlorine water filter?  Don’t we put the chlorine in our water to kill the bacteria?  Why would I want to filter that life saving substance out?  Isn’t the mortality rate from water borne disease higher in countries that don’t use chlorine in their water?

Those are all good questions.  And if you are asking them, it shows you have an interest in the safety of your drinking water.

Yes, we put the chlorine in our water to kill the bacteria that if left in our water would cause us many problems.  Killing the bacteria is very important and if we didn’t have the chlorine to rid us of those dangerous substances, we would have diseases that would kill us. 

But the chlorine needs to be taken out of the water before we can safely drink it or bathe and shower in it.  As much good as the chlorine does for us, it also puts us at risks for many diseases. 

According to the U.S. Council of Environmental Quality, “Cancer risk among people using chlorinated water is as much as 93% higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine.”   20 years after the start of using chlorine in our water we started having higher rates of heart trouble and cancer. 

Chlorine is also dangerous in our shower water.  At best it only causes skin irritation, at worst it is linked to certain types of cancer and asthma.  A friend of mine had a son that suffered from asthma.  It was suggested to her to install a chlorine water filter to her shower to remove the chloroform gases emitted from the shower water.  She did and her son no longer suffers from asthma.  Coincidental? I don’t think so.

The gases formed from the steam in your shower also can cause you fatigue. The steam we inhale can contain 20 times the concentration of chlorine and other dangerous chemicals as tap water, because these chemicals vaporize at a much lower temperature and at a faster rate.  Inhaling these chemicals is a suspected cause of bronchitis and asthma.

So don’t delay.  Shop online today for a chlorine water filter.  Just look for a water purification unit that guarantees to remove the chlorine from your water. You’ll find shower filters for around $70, and drinking water filters for under $100.

Your present health and your long-term health will be better if you do.
