Why is Chlorine Added to Tap Water?
Treatment Plants add chlorine at P.O.E. (Point of Entry) to remove germs and ensure they don’t re-appear while the water travels many miles through the pipes to your tap (P.O.U. …Point of Use). While the amount of chlorine added is regulated and not considered dangerous, it does impair taste and odour plus there is a definite chance that it can combine with organic compounds to produce chlorinated hydrocarbons that may lead to health related problems. The activated carbon in the Filter will reduce the chlorine by up to 99%.
