EZ Clear Water

If you have read any of the articles that I have posted on chlorine and chloramine in your water, you know what I think.

Hear’s what Dr. Oz says about removing chlorine from your shower.  Sorry!  I like you Dr. Oz, but you’re completely wrong on this one.  A little chunk of carbon in your shower head is NOT going to remove the chlorine, much less chloramine from HOT water!

Dr. Oz is right about the chemicals being really harsh on your hair.  They’re harsh on your skin too – especailly the skin of our soft, sweet children.  But the only effective way to prevent them from reaching the bath and shower water is to install a whole house water filter that filters the COLD water before it enters your water heater.  And you must use a water filter that is tested and approved to remove both chlorine and choramine if you live in a city now using mostly chloramine to disinfect the water, because part of the year they will switch to chlorine.

The whole house filters at http://www.ezClearwater.com do indeed remove both chorine and chloramine and WILL save your hair and skin from the horrid, drying effects of water disinfection chemicals.  Come on by and visit!

It may seem odd but there such a thing a being allergic to water. This is a special type of water, the type that flowed in to approximately 265 households near Charleston, W.Va. They used it for shower, cooking, and drinking. Only recently they realized that their flowing tap has high levels of contaminants. After comparing notes with neighbors, they were surprised that a lot of them had common skin allergies and other types of skin burns. They all blamed it on nearby coal companies. Lawyers are currently working on a formal complaint against these alleged violators.

A sad reality to note is these things happen with fact that we have all the means to detect and regulate dangerous chemicals from being used alongside our water source. Unchecked violations are mounting through the years, which is also directly proportional to the environmental and population health damaging effects. All you need to do is dig through government archives. The word carcinogen, which refers to cancer causing substances, is alarmingly linked nowadays to our drinking supply. Although this would not be the case decades ago but it may also be possible that it’s just now that those affected are being heard. Still, the government is having a hard time with strict implementations because huge businesses are involved and laws are not yet fully defined to be applicable for new industrial processes.

The only temporary way to protect ourselves immediately is to be careful with what we eat and drink. The water filter industry for households was born due to that need of having access to safe drinking water at home. Of course, having an alternative solution at home doesn’t mean that violators could go ahead and pollute our water source. At least while the government takes its sweet time to find a way to track down and impose sanctions on violators, we have an option to protect our families.

Are Chloramines in City Water Making You Sick?

What does your city use for a detergent in the public water? Most people will answer chlorine and many just may be right; however, cities are beginning to use a chemical compound called chloramines to treat the water. Chloramines are created by combining chlorine and ammonia and sticks around in the water longer than chlorinated water. Chloramines are also simple and inexpensive for the public utilities systems to use. What you may not know; however, is that chloramines are not a stable and safe chemical compound and they have not been fully tested for human exposure. Additionally, the public utilities are not required to let you know ahead of time if or when they make the change from chlorine to chloramines, it may simply not be stated or a small blurb someplace on the back of your bill.

A little information about chloramines will help you to understand just what the benefits and or dangers that lurk in your water and how you can protect your family from them. When chloramines combine with some organic material, the same organic materials often found in the public water systems, it can convert the compound into various carcinogens. Chloramines also have known and reported adverse effects including respiratory ailments. Skin rashes, blisters, welts and severe dry skin or eyes have also been reported from people that have been exposed to chloramines after their public water utilities switched from chlorine. While chlorine will dissipate from the water, often before reaching the customer, chloramines do not and must be removed with chloramine water filters.

Many people have installed under sink water filters to filter the water they drink and use for cooking. Even the best drinking water filters cannot protect you in the shower. To remove chloramines and other contaminates such as arsenic, lead and sediments in the shower and other places you use water other than for drinking you must use whole house water filtration systems.

Whole house water filters are hooked up to the incoming water from the utility company so that all the water you use is filtered and safe. To remove chloramines from all water coming into your home you are making your shower and bath safe as well as the water you use for washing dishes and washing your clothing. Additionally, specialized water filters can remove lead from water and remove arsenic from water; why risk absorbing these and other chemicals and contaminates through your skin?

Many people have reactions to chemicals from public water and do not even realize what is making them sick. Many symptoms of the flu or allergies could actually be adverse reactions to chloramines or contaminates in the water. The risk of cancer is another serious concern of improperly filtered water. Understanding the risk and knowing how to avoid these potentially dangerous illnesses is the first step. The next step is purchasing a whole house water filter and installing it on your water source from the public utilities system. There are a variety of styles and filters to choose from allowing you to customize your whole house filtration system. Is it important to you to allow fluoride in the public water to come through? Filters can be customized to allow the fluoride or to remove fluoride from water; whatever is important to you.

Make sure the water you drink, the water you brush your teeth with, the water you shower in, the water your children play in and the water you wash your dishes and clothing is safe and filtered.
