Chlorination

 
Why Chlorinate?
Chlorine is a disinfectant added to drinking water to reduce or eliminate microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses, which can be present in water supplies. The addition of chlorine to our drinking water has greatly reduced the risk of waterborne diseases.

The Benefits of Chlorine:
Current scientific data shows that the benefits of chlorinating our drinking water (less disease) are much greater than any health risks from its by-products. Although other disinfectants are available, chlorine remains the choice of water treatment experts. When used with modern water filtration methods, chlorine is effective against virtually all microorganisms.
