De-chlorination
You don't have to feel like you have been swimming in a public pool after
bathing!
Environmental and public safety laws require most municipalities to use
chlorine as a disinfectant in all water supplies. Its the least expensive
and quickest method of eliminating some harmful bacteria and contaminants
from large water sources. Adding chlorine does not, however, eliminate
harmful pesticides, herbicides, other chemicals and heavy metals from the
water. By combining chlorine with these organic compounds found in nearly
all fresh water sources, carcinogens called trihalomethanes (TTHM's) are
formed.
Once ingested or absorbed, TTHM's are stored up in the fatty tissues of the
body. This triggers the production of free radicals, which in turn, alters
DNA, suppresses the function of the immune system and interferes with cell
growth. Chlorine has been linked to breast and bladder cancer, heart
disease, premature senility, strokes and nervous system disorders.
Standing in a warm/hot shower of chlorinated water has been compared with
standing in a gas chamber! Absorption of the chlorine into our bodies is
accelerated because it vaporizes faster when warm/hot, becoming a gas.
Vaporized chemicals are also inhaled, entering your blood stream quickly and
at a very high rate without the benefit of being filtered by your liver.
By removing chlorine from your water with Renegade Water's filtering systems
before using it for bathing, cooking, cleaning and drinking can ensure a
longer, healthier life!
