Chlorine/chloramine removal is an important part of the water treatment and purification process. This key process ensures that your drinking water is safe and pleasant to taste. Chlorine and chloramine are both extensively used disinfectants in municipal water treatment plants to destroy hazardous bacteria and diseases. While they are effective in their primary duty of protecting public health, if not properly controlled, they can have a negative impact on water quality and human health.
Here are a few crucial reasons why professional chlorine/chloramine removal is critical:
- Health Concerns: High amounts of chlorine and chloramine in drinking water can be harmful to your health. Chlorine can react with organic materials in water to produce disinfection byproducts, which may cause various health problems with continuous exposure. Chloramine, while less reactive than chlorine, can also pose health hazards, especially if you have allergies or an impaired immune system.
- Unpleasant Taste: Chlorine and chloramine can give water an unpleasant taste and odor, which is commonly referred to as “chemical” or “chlorine-like.” This can make the water unappealing and unpleasant to drink, resulting in lower consumption and potential hydration issues.
- Corrosion and Damage: Over time, chlorine and chloramine erode metal pipes and plumbing fixtures, causing infrastructure damage and potentially dangerous metal leakage into the water supply. Chlorine/chloramine removal can help extend the life of plumbing systems and reduce the need for expensive repairs.
