CHLORINEA dangerous carcinogen in your home’s drinking water

1) Chlorine is added to water to kill bacteria in hundreds of miles of dirty underground pipes 2) Chlorine produces byproducts that cause cancer 3) �e chlorine isn’t necessary in your homes as it causes many adverse health e�ects Not only dry skin and hair, but that it will slowly over time deteriorate organs and cause cancer

CHLORINE IN YOUR WATER

HOW CHLORINE AFFECTS YOUR BODY

Chlorine can also damage the skin and cause premature signs of aging. Even small amounts of chlorine can be harmful over time. When you shower, heat opens your pores and allows the chlorine to seep into your skin. Chlorine strips the skin of its natural oils and causes it to dry and crack, which can lead to wrinkles.1

Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) – NSF certified for the general removal of chlorine, gases, fuels and disinfection byproducts such astrihalomethanes (THMs).Centaur Catalytic Carbon – Reduces radon, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chlorine and chlorine byproducts 10-15% better than GAC alone.KDF 55 - Copper Zinc alloy using REDOX (oxidation/reduction) toinhibit bacteria, algae, fungi and mold growth. Also removes copper,zinc, aluminum, mercury and nickel.Zeolite – All-natural large surface area with a microporous structure for reduction of suspended solids down to 5 microns. Traps sediments, rust, asbestos fibers and other particulates in the water.Garnet – Granular filtration media filters down to 10-20 microns andsupports the filter bed.Superior Inline Descaler - Patented inline post filtration cartridgeuses a reverse-polarity magnetic field to prevent lime and scale – causing hard water minerals from adhering to pipes, waterheaters and appliances.Protector UV – High – intensity ultraviolet light disinfects water as it enters your home to eliminate bacteria and viruses.
