The Dangers of Chlorine and Chloramine in Your Water

The Dangers of Chlorine and Chloramine in Your Water

Choosing a Healthy Alternative to Chlorinated Water

Water from private companies may contain chlorine or chloramines to disinfect the supply during transmission, but that does not mean they must remain in a home’s drinking water. Technological advances in whole house water filter concepts allow the removal of harmful contaminants and a great improvement in quality. Spring-like water enhances the flavor of coffee, tea, and favorite dishes. In addition, baths become enjoyable without harsh chemicals that dry the skin and leave spots everywhere.

Comparing Chlorine and Chloramines

Federal guidelines limit the amounts of chemicals that water companies use as disinfectants. Unfortunately, chlorine and chloramines, a combination of chlorine with ammonia added, both pose significant health issues. The odor of chloramines does not have the pungency of chlorine, but it presents serious health problems too.

Tracing the Health Effects

Experts point to the influence that chlorinated water can exert on the body, and research shows that exposure has significant links to health. For example, contact with it can cause asthma, dermatitis and produce negative cholesterol readings. In addition, contact with it can affect the blood, digestive/gastric tract, kidneys, and skin. Even worse, studies show that long-term consumption of chlorinated drinking water produced an increase in bladder cancer.

Identifying Impacts on the Skin

The Biotoxin Foundation cites the skin as the body’s first line of defense as an organ with high sensitivity to disease and infection. Chlorinated water produces effects on aging that resemble the sun’s rays. By depleting the natural oils that contain moisture, the chemicals dry the skin and cause it to flake and itch. While the disinfectants may kill bacteria that cause disease, they also destroy helpful bacteria. Doctors note that some bacteria that live on the skin can promote health https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/bacteria-skin-boost-immune-cell-function by preventing skin infections from getting worse. Chlorinated and chloramines-treated water washes them away, leaving the skin less well protected.

Changing the Taste of Food

Water plays a more critical role in food preparation than one may imagine. The odors of chlorinated water that offend you in the bath can make food even more offensive and less appealing. Washing produce leaves a residue that fruit and vegetables can absorb, changing the flavor significantly. Rice, pasta, beans, and noodles require about twice as much liquid as their volume, and the taste of chemicals can make them unpleasant. A whole house water filter returns the flavor you expect to the dishes you prepare. The absence of chemicals lets nature’s colors remain, an essential quality that helps people select a variety of nutritious food.

Avoiding Unpleasant Side Effects

When chlorinated or chloramines alter the pleasant effects that you expect from a warm bath, flavors and bodily functions, it becomes reasonable to consider an alternative that does not produce undesirable results. A whole house water filter can return routine processes to proper performance.

Changing the Taste of Food

Inhaling vapors and fumes of chloramine and the purer form of the chemical emitted by dishwashers, hot tubs, showers and baths can irritate the respiratory tract. In addition, breathing the fumes can form acids that damage delicate tissue, changing a pleasant hot shower into something that poses potential health issues.

Destroying Digestive Bacteria

Chlorinated water cannot distinguish between harmful bacteria in the digestive tract and the good kind the body needs to perform efficiently. As a disinfectant, it can eliminate harmful bacteria, but it can destroy helpful bacteria internally as it does on the skin.

Preventing Damage to the Eyes

Shower baths may invite the opportunity to face the showerhead full-on, and a high concentration of chlorination can produce red, watery eyes. In addition, a stinging sensation can indicate irritation as it removes the natural film of protection for the eyes.

Protecting Pets

While animals can tolerate chlorinated water though they may not like it any more than you do, creatures that live in water cannot survive exposure to it. Thus, as an indication of its toxicity, the inability of goldfish to live in it may provide an alert about potential harm.

Finding a Better Way

The advanced technology in a whole house water filter offers benefits that replace the disadvantages of drinking water that contains chlorine or chloramines.

Taste

Access to clearer and better-tasting water offers a better way to manage your taps. In addition, when you can eliminate potentially dangerous disinfectants from your supply line, you can have the enjoyment that comes from knowing that you can protect the sanctity of your home with safe practices.

Sediment Removal

Among the objectionable qualities you can avoid with a whole house water filter, sediment and contaminants rank close to disinfectants. With the removal of any elements that change or lessen the quality of what you drink or use for cooking or hygiene, you achieve a desirable supply of drinking water. Baths become more enjoyable with moisture that does not dry the skin or hair, leaving both soft, supple, and young-looking.

Equipment Protection

An added benefit gives you extended use of any appliance that uses water, and most homes have more of them than may seem apparent. Hot water tanks have a particular sensitivity to contaminants that can cause a breakdown and inconvenience when it matters the most.

When you choose a Kind E-3000 Whole House Water Filter and Salt-Free Softener, you make an investment in comfort, convenience, and enjoyment of food properly prepared. Contact our professional customer service team for assistance in finding a better way to control your water quality.

Better than imagined!!!

Rated 5 out of 5

From the time the order was placed until it showed up at the front door was literally less than 24 hrs!!!

The next day the system was placed in service. It took only a couple leisurely hours to install and within minutes there was a noticeable difference in water quality!!

I can’t believe I waited so long to do this!!

Only after one day I have already recommended this system to many coworkers and friends!!

Thanks for a great product!!

I'd probably give it more than 5 stars if I could!

Rated 5 out of 5

I have been buying bags of 40lb water softener for years, lugging that in and out of my garage, and buying bottle water because we were only treating our water with salt pellets. I compared Kind Water Systems to other systems on the market and found the quality and price to be far more superior than other systems. With that said, I decided to put it to the test. First, the website is very user friendly and easy to navigate (5 stars), 2nd the customer service and their ability to answer all of my questions (and I had a lot) was amazing (5 stars). 3rd I received a shipping notification within 48 hours of purchasing the product on line (5 stars). 4th I received the product 48 hours later (so approximately 4 days from purchase) which is unheard of in this economy (5 stars). 5th – my plumber was able to install the new system and remove my ancient salt softener system in just a matter of a couple of hours (5 stars). And most importantly, our water flowing through our entire house is now perfect to drink and shower with (5 stars)! No more bottle water, no more 40lbs of water softener! Both my wife and daughter said they love the way it makes their hair feel when they shower too (10 stars). It also created more space in my garage since it mounts on the wall (see photo) (5 stars). I signed up for the automatic annual filter order service they offer because I’ll never remember to do that on my own (5 stars). I do not normally leave Google reviews but felt compelled to with this product. I’d probably give it more than 5 stars if I could! I hope the company produces one for RV’s next! I’d buy that in a heartbeat and give it 10 stars too!

All Kind systems are made with certified components and designed for peak performance. Cities and Municipalities often vary the amount of chemicals they introduce into your water throughout the year and in doing so it can affect the longevity of your filter. Replacing your filters once a year ensures that your system is operating at peak performance at all times.

The Kind filters also utilize a Catalytic Activated Coconut Shell Carbon Block technology giving the best filtration possible without the carbon dust, channeling, and flow issues associated with loose granular coal base carbon found in traditional tank-style filters. Simply put, whole-house water filtration has evolved and so has the way you filter your water.
