The tap water you drink, shower or do laundry in on a daily basis may contain lead, chlorine, chlorination by-products, bacteria and other microorganisms.

Chlorine Affect

Chlorine is used to disinfect water to make it suitable for drinking and bathing. However, chlorine begins to react with other organic matter in the water to form by-products that could pose potential health risks. Greenpeace has reported that chlorine-based compounds are the most common toxic and persistent pollutants in the Great Lakes.

According to the NRDC, chlorination by-products from chlorinated water pose potential health risks due to the inhalation and dermal exposure during showering and bathing.

Chemicals, chlorine, sediments, bacteria and microorganisms enter your home through the delivery system at the point of entry. The point of entry is the gateway for these sediments, bacteria and chemicals and this is where our system works for you.


Lead Contamination

Much of the lead we have in our water system may come directly from our aged municipal water system as well as the lead solder we use to join the copper pipe for our household water system. The EPA estimates that lead poisoning is the number one environmental threat to children in the U.S.A. In fact, the EPA states that lead dosage that would have little effect on adults can be very harmful to small children leading to developmental issues, such as attention span and learning disabilities as well as kidney problems.

The long-term affects from high doses of lead in adults can increase the chances of damage to the central nervous system, an increase in hypertension and high blood pressure. The EPA estimates that lead in drinking water contributes to 480,00 cases of learning disorders in children and 560,000 cases of hypertension in adults each year in the U.S.A. alone.
