It
is well known that chlorine is very destructive to everything!
This is why
it works well on organisms; it destroys them! But
it does not just stop there. If you have a water
softener; it will destroy your resin. According to Cindy
Gresham of Thermax, the general rule is that
every one ppm of chlorine shortens the life of water softeners
by half. When it’s done with your softener it goes to
work on your plumbing.
Chlorine is aggressive and leaches lead and copper from the
plumbing that it travels through. Elevated copper and
lead levels are both a known health risk. Now it gets to your
water bearing appliances such as your faucets and fixtures where
it destroys the O-rings causing leaks and damages that require
repair bills. It even works on other plastics such as
toilet flappers that cause toilets to run increasing water
bills. Now it finally gets to you and your family, but
you say “I don’t drink this water!” Well Thank goodness, you
shouldn’t.
Chlorine enters the body in more ways than just your drinking
water. According to experts, skin absorption is a much
bigger risk.
Just one 20 min. shower is the equivalent of drinking 8 glasses
of water. Not only does skin absorb chlorine, the gas is
inhaled and affects the respiratory system.
Chlorinated water irritates a person’s eyes, sinuses, throat,
skin and lungs. By reducing chemicals in the water,
especially chlorine, with a whole house water treatment system
from B H Water Purification you can provide protection, for the water
treatment system, reduce plumbing system failure, lower rates of
exposure to various health risks and most importantly, provide
the quality of water that you need and want. |
