Let Zero Chlorine help ensure that the water you’re drinking is as healthy as it can be. While the EPA regulates municipal water to test for approximately 90 contaminants, U.S. drinking water is said to contain more than 2,100 toxic chemicals that cause cancer. Local municipal water plants were never designed to remove these carcinogens and they add chlorine — sometimes as much as or more than what is in your backyard pool. The National Cancer Institute estimates cancer risks for people who consume chlorinated water to be up to 93 percent higher than people who do not. Take a proactive approach to your family’s overall health and filter all your water. Call Zero Chlorine today.
