City Water Supplies and the Chemicals They Add

Municipal water treatment plants add various chemicals to the water supply to purify and disinfect it.

While these chemicals serve their purpose, they can affect the taste, smell, and overall quality of the water.

Some common chemicals added by city water supplies include chlorine, chloramine, and fluoride.

Chlorine and chloramine are used as disinfectants to kill harmful bacteria and viruses in the water.

While necessary, these chemicals can create an unpleasant taste and odor in the water.

Additionally, some individuals may be more sensitive to the effects of chlorine, experiencing skin irritation or respiratory issues.

Fluoride is another chemical commonly added to city water supplies. It is added to promote dental health and prevent tooth decay.

While fluoride has proven benefits for oral health, some individuals may prefer to reduce their fluoride intake, especially if they already receive fluoride from other sources like toothpaste or dental treatments.

The EWS Whole Home water filtration system effectively removes chlorine, chloramine, and various other chemicals, providing you with clean, fresh, and great-tasting water throughout your home.
