How chlorine in Houston water affects your health and home:

Chlorine is essential to keep Houston’s tap water safe by killing harmful bacteria and pathogens. But once that chlorinated water enters your home, it can create unintended problems—affecting both your family's health and the longevity of your household plumbing and appliances.

Here's what Houston homeowners should know about chlorine in tap water, why it matters, and what you can do to protect yourself and your home.

The Hidden Effects of Chlorine in Your Water

Chlorine may be effective at disinfecting water, but it doesn't stop there. Excess chlorine can impact your household in several concerning ways:

  • Dry, Irritated Skin and Hair: Chlorine strips your skin and hair of natural oils, leading to dryness, itching, and discomfort.

  • Respiratory Irritation: Chlorine vapors from hot showers and baths can trigger asthma, allergies, or general respiratory discomfort, especially in young children and people with sensitivities.

  • Damage to Plumbing and Appliances: Over time, chlorine corrodes fixtures, rubber seals, and gaskets, shortening the life of appliances like dishwashers and washing machines.

  • Unpleasant Taste and Odor: Even if the water is safe, chlorine often leaves an unpleasant taste and smell, affecting your drinking and cooking experience.

In other words, while chlorine helps keep water bacteria-free, it can negatively impact your family's comfort and your home’s plumbing system over the long run.

Whole-Home Chlorine Filtration

To protect your family and home from chlorine’s negative effects, consider installing a whole-home chlorine filtration system. Unlike countertop filters or pitchers, a whole-home system treats all the water entering your home—not just the water you drink.
