Chlorine is used to eliminate pathogens from city (or municipal) water and is regulated to safe levels. But chlorine can affect the taste and give a bleach-like odor to your home’s water. Private water wells won’t have this issue.
Additionally, chlorine can have drying effects on skin/hair and can form potentially harmful byproducts linked to increased health risks over time.
Removing chlorine from water benefits both plants and pets by promoting better health and vitality.
For plants, chlorine-free water prevents the buildup of soil toxicity, supports nutrient absorption, and protects the beneficial microorganisms essential for growth.
For pets, chlorine-free water eliminates the unpleasant taste and potential irritants of chlorine, ensuring safer hydration. Help create a healthier environment for all living things in your home.
Bathing in chlorinated water can strip away natural oils, making it harder to retain moisture and stay hydrated, leaving your skin dry, itchy, and more prone to aggravating skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis. Chlorine can weaken hair strands, lead to breakage and split ends, and leave your hair brittle and lifeless.
Clean water shouldn’t compromise your health—switch to water filters with activated carbon to remove chlorine and embrace softer, healthier skin and hair every day.
A chlorine removal system is a whole-home water filtration system that reduces chlorine before it reaches your faucets, showers, and appliances. Installed where water enters your home, it improves the taste, smell, and overall quality of your water while providing cleaner water throughout your entire house.
Municipal water systems add chlorine to disinfect drinking water and help protect against bacteria and other harmful microorganisms. While chlorine is effective for public health, many homeowners choose to remove it because they dislike its taste, odor, or how it affects their skin and hair.
A whole-home chlorine removal system can:
Yes. Chlorine can leave water with a noticeable chemical taste or swimming pool-like smell. A chlorine removal system helps produce cleaner, fresher-tasting water throughout your home, making drinking water, coffee, tea, and cooking more enjoyable.
Not always. Chlorine and chloramine are different disinfectants, and they require different filtration methods. If your local water utility uses chloramine instead of chlorine, we’ll recommend a system specifically designed to reduce it.
Absolutely. A chlorine removal system and a water softener work together to improve your home’s water. The chlorine removal system reduces chlorine, while the water softener removes hardness minerals that cause scale buildup. Together, they provide complete whole-home water treatment.
Yes. Because the system is installed on your home’s main water line, every faucet, shower, appliance, and water outlet benefits from filtered water. That means cleaner water for drinking, bathing, laundry, cooking, and cleaning.
Most chlorine removal systems require very little routine maintenance. Depending on your water usage and the type of filtration media, the carbon media may need replacement after several years. Regular inspections help ensure the system continues performing efficiently.
If you’re bothered by chlorine taste, odor, or dry skin after showering, many homeowners find a chlorine removal system to be one of the most noticeable upgrades they can make. It improves the quality of the water used throughout your entire home—not just at a single faucet.
