Whether you live in the city or in the country, there are chemicals lurking in your water that may be silently robbing you and your family of their health right now. Many of these chemicals are absorbed by your body right through the skin, so drinking filtered or bottled water isn’t protecting you. The only defense against the toxic chemicals in your water is whole home filtration. A whole house filter system prevents toxins from entering your home water system.

Think you’re safe if you live in the country? Think again. Rural water systems are the worst offenders. Water utilities that serve rural areas lack the infrastructure and the expertise to detect and treat many of the chemicals that are turning up in our water supplies. This means that there are toxic chemicals in your water, and your local water utility doesn’t even know they are there!

Chlorination is a highly effective means of disinfecting water supplies, but that disinfection comes at a cost: When chlorine kills bacteria, it releases disinfection byproducts such as trihalomethanes – known to be carcinogenic even in tiny amounts.

Hot water makes these chemicals vaporize, and they are released into the air. Every time you take a shower or bath, wash dishes or clothes, or use any hot water, toxic disinfection byproducts can be released. These chemicals can cause asthma attacks, irritate your eyes, skin and lungs, and more
