Chlorine in Water: What You Need to Know

Chlorine is commonly used in municipal water supplies to disinfect and kill bacteria. While it helps reduce contaminants, it may also leave behind an unpleasant taste and odor in drinking water. Over time, chlorine exposure can also contribute to dry skin, brittle hair, and potential plumbing damage.

FAQs About Chlorine in Water

Is chlorine in drinking water safe?

While chlorine is added to water for disinfection, high levels may cause skin irritation and affect taste.

If your water smells like a swimming pool, has a strong chemical taste, or causes dry skin, it may contain excess chlorine.

A whole house filtration system or a reverse osmosis system can significantly lower chlorine levels.

Your water intake depends on factors like age, activity, and climate. A common guideline is eight 8-ounce glasses per day or more if you’re active.
