Chlorine is the most widely used chemical for water disinfection. Although, it significantly reduces the incidences of waterborne diseases in the United States,yet,  it’s actually still posing a threat to our health.

The Effects

Surely we all experience the exterior effects chlorinate water has on our bodies:

• Dry, itchy and sometimes red skin.
• Removal of natural oils from our hair causing dry, porous hair lacking in shine and flexibility.

But, did you know when you inhale it from spray and steam while showering and bathing it:

• Goes directly into our blood stream reducing oxygen transport in our lungs
• Accelerates aging from free radical damage
• Causes the destruction of valuable vitamins our bodies need

Unfortunately, Chlorine Itself is Not the Only Threat Associated with Showering, Bathing and Drinking Municipal Water

Chlorine reacts with many naturally occurring organic and inorganic compounds found in water supplies. Decaying vegetation, and man-made substances like industrial solvents, benzene, pesticides and herbicides cause organic compounds.  Inorganic compounds include heavy metals, iron and limerock.  The chemical reaction between chlorine and these compounds, consequently creates undesirable disinfection by-products. In addition,  haloacetic acids (HAAs) and trihalomethanes (THMs), link to an increased risk of cancer. In conclusion, it’s not something we want to be consuming.

A recent American Journal of Public Health study found an association between bladder/rectal cancer and chlorination by-products in drinking water. And, according to EPA’s List of Drinking Water Contaminants, long term exposure to HAAs and THMs can result in kidney, central nervous system and liver problems.

Fortunately, there is equipment that can remove 99.99% of chlorine and its dangerous by-products from water in your home or business. So, why continue consuming it when there’s an easy solution?

Was it a relief when you heard that some bottled water manufacturers were replacing BPA with BPS in their bottles? Credible researchers have determined that one is as bad or worse than the other.

Bisphenol A (BPA)

This is a toxic compound found in polycarbonate plastics that is often used in containers that store food and beverages, including plastic water bottles.

BPA is an estrogen-mimicking chemical.  It links to serious health problems such as: prostate and breast cancer, heart problems, premature puberty, infertility, brain and behavior problems and more. It is dangerous enough that in 2012, the Food and Drug Administration ruled BPA could no longer be used in baby bottles and children’s drinking cups.

Growing consumer concerns pushed manufacturers to look for BPA alternatives. Now some Water Bottles and packaged food products carry “BPA free” labels. People buy these “safe” plastic containers unaware of the hidden risks.

Bisphenol S (BPS)

Research has revealed that BPA free products often contain BPS. BPS is chemically similar to BPA and also leaches chemicals with estrogenic activity.  Some of these chemicals are even more potent than BPA. It was additionally discovered that BPS is more persistent than BPA, meaning it sticks around longer increasing the chances of it accumulating in our bodies and the environment.

Furthermore, high temperature causes more BPA and BPS to leach out into food or liquids.  Bottled water is not transported in air conditioned trucks, or stored in temperature controlled warehouses. How hot do you think water bottles get in hot weather on its journey to store shelves? How much BPS and BPA could have leached into water before you even buy it? Is it safe for you and your family to drink?

Looking for the healthiest, safest and, in the long run, cheapest alternative to Bottled Water?  Fill your own glass or stainless steel bottles with Purified Water from your own unit at home. Take them with you wherever you go.  No more dangerous chemicals in your water.  No more plastic water bottles in the landfill.
