Chlorine is a highly efficient disinfectant and it is added to public water supplies to kill disease-causing bacteria. But all this disinfecting has not come without a price. As chlorine reacts with other naturally occurring elements in the water, it forms toxins called trihalomethanes (THM's). THM's have been linked to asthma, eczema, bladder cancer and heart disease. Carbon-based filters are considered the most effective at removing THMs and other toxins. What are other alternatives to chlorine? Well...we’re not bashful about pointing you in the direction of a few neat-o carbon filter, eco friendly & super elegant bottleless water coolers!
