Water is the life force we depend on to stay active, healthy, and alive. Consuming clean water makes your heart, brain, and muscles function better. Staying hydrated increases your energy levels, flushes out toxins from your body, aids digestion, and improves your complexion.
By drinking water that is safe for consumption, you’re able to protect your body and lower your chances of getting sick. Isn’t it interesting that 71% of Americans drink water straight from the tap? Most of us have drank tap water at some point in our lives. Have you checked if your tap water is safe?
The dangers of chlorine in your water will depend on the chlorine levels. Getting your water tested will help determine current chlorine levels. Chlorine is often found in tap water to remove bacteria, but too much of it can cause problems.
Does your tap water smell like water from a swimming pool? Then, your drinking water has chlorine. Swimming pools add chlorine to pool water for its disinfecting properties. In high-traffic areas like public pools, adding chlorine is necessary to prevent an outbreak of water-borne diseases. But not many like their drinking water smelling like a public swimming pool.
Have you wondered how many of us are drinking water that does more harm than good? Most probably, a lot of us.
Most municipal water treatment plants add chlorine to the water before sending it to your home. They do this to disinfect the water and remove microorganisms that can be responsible for spreading water-borne diseases. Highly chlorinated water is not always safe for consumption.
The presence of chlorine in water doesn’t necessarily mean that the water is entirely free of disease-causing microorganisms. Some microbes become resistant to chlorine over time and remain harmful. Don’t worry, our UV Disinfection Units can remove the remaining microbes!
Why is removing chlorine from drinking water paramount? Excess chlorine levels in your drinking water can affect your health in many ways. Some of the common dangers of chlorine in water include:
Gut Issues
Indirect Dehydration
How can you reduce harmful chlorine levels in your drinking water? That’s where our expertise comes in.
Suburban Water Technology uses a highly effective technique called Reverse Osmosis (RO) to remove harmful chlorine levels from your drinking water. Reverse osmosis is a water purification method that can remove chlorine and other harmful contaminants in your drinking water. You can enjoy clean, odorless drinking water with a pleasant taste when you install our reverse osmosis system in your home.
Our reverse osmosis systems are compact enough to fit under your sink. Between our compact RO system and trained professionals, installation and maintenance are a breeze.
An RO plant contains:
The pre-filtration unit contains a sediment filter (to filter out large particles in water) and activated carbon to absorb contaminants like chlorine.
When the water, now free of contaminants and large particles, passes through the semipermeable reverse osmosis membrane, pressure is applied to it. Microscopic dissolved particles get left behind the membrane as only the tiny pure water molecules pass through the RO membrane.
This purified water that successfully passed through the pre-filtration tank and the RO membrane is again polished in a post-filtration unit. This post-filtration uses activated carbon again to remove any leftover odor or unpleasant taste.
Once complete, you can enjoy chlorine-free drinking water straight from your tap. Visit our previous blog to learn more about the benefits of reverse osmosis, and how you can maintain your unit.
Our water filtration systems remove not only chlorine but also chloramine and other harmful contaminants such as:
