Though originally used as a chemical to sanitize drinking water, studies have also shown its harmful effects to the body. Chlorine can cause cancer and significantly degrades the health of our cells that it causes pre mature aging. Chlorine is not also that effective in sanitizing water, unable to address other water pollutants that are potentially more harmful than just random microorganisms. In a way chlorine is a two edged sword that not only is harmful to you but also not that good in cleaning the water for drinking.
There are many filter systems available in the market today that suits unique and individual needs for each home like the kind of tap or raw water these homes are receiving. Assuming that tap water is clean nowadays is a reckless thing to do.
If you want to filter tap water altogether in a centralized system then you must consider the whole house water filtration system. The good thing about this system is that it frees you of having to think about your faucets and other water outlets individually. By directly filtering all your raw water in one place, and distributing filtered water to all parts of the house, you are making sure that you only drink filtered water and you only take a bath in heavy metal-free water. Heavy metal is known to penetrate skin pores introducing its harmful effect to the body imdirectly.
Other home water filter systems like the under sink or the counter top variants are more portable and easier to install. The contaminants they filter are also limited. But these filters are very effective if you also did your homework in researching the kind of tap water that is supplied to you. Having a water filter is not just for the sake of installing one. It must be a careful decision of the right system for you. Without this caution, you can easily overspend or under spend for these.
