Chlorine Water Filter - Avoid the Many Dangers of Chlorine by Using a Home Chlorine Water Filter
Without a chlorine water filter, you are exposing yourself to serious health risk, whether you know it or not. I'm shocked that authorities don't even encourage people to use a chlorine water filter at home. I guess they'd rather have people think that the water they're drinking and bathing in is safe. Here's how serious the problem really is.
The reason public treatment plants use chlorine as a disinfectant is not because it's most effective or safe- they use it because it's cheap! Today our treatment systems use the same technology as they did at the turn of the last century; they filter out all the visible particles and then essentially add bleach to disinfect.
Since chlorination is STANDARD in our water treatment system, it only makes sense that using a chlorine water filter at home should be STANDARD too.
Oh, and by the way, the EPA set the limit as to how much chlorine can be used to disinfect water supplies at 4 parts per million (ppm). On most standard pool kits, they state that swimming in anything above 3ppm is dangerous!
Recent studies have shown that there is a significant association between cancer and chlorinated water. In fact, the U.S. Council of Environmental Quality stated that "Cancer risk among people using chlorinated water is as much as 93% higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine". And women with breast cancer have been shown to contain 50%-60% more chlorinated byproducts (THMs) in their fat tissue than women without cancer.
Most people think that drinking chlorinated water is bad, but showering in it is even worse! As the matter of fact, more than 2/3 of of the harmful effects of chlorinated water are experienced from the inhalation and absorption of it. When taking a hot shower, chlorine molecules are vaporized and pumped into the air you breath even before the water hits the bottom of the shower. There's even more reason to buy a chlorine water filter for your shower than for your faucet!
Here's the whole thing about chlorinating our water supplies: This chemical is used as a disinfectant to KILL bacteria, parasites, and other water-borne diseases. For the simple fact that it's used to KILL anything should mean that we shouldn't be consuming it, whether we drink it, cook with it, or shower in it. But since it's needed to protect us from dangerous bacteria and parasites, a home chlorine water filter is the only way to keep your water safe enough to consume.
I just find it odd that only 2 decades after we started using chlorine as a prevalent disinfectant and after we started using synthetic chemicals heavily that the current spike in cancer started. Back in the early 1900s, 1 in 50 people eventually had cancer in their life. Today though, 1 in 3 people have cancer at some point in their life. If only owning a chlorine water filter was mandatory!
In conclusion, do yourself and your family a favor and install a chlorine water filter in your home. For maximum protection against the dangers of chlorine, get both a faucet and shower filtration unit. It doesn't have to be that expensive either. In our home, we use top of the line systems that remove 99% of all chlorine and other contaminants, and it only costs us pennies a day to assure that all the water we drink and shower in is pure, safe, and healthy.
