Removing Chlorine from Water
Municipalities use chlorine and chloramine to kill pathogens in drinking water, but too-high levels of these disinfectants can cause bad taste in water, skin and eye irritation, and other issues. We fix these problems.

Filtering Out Chlorine and Chloramine
City water treatment systems typically use chlorine or, increasingly, chloramine as a disinfectant for water supply. Low levels of these chemicals are generally not a problem, but when they enter your home at a too-high level, your drinking water can taste like it came from a swimming pool. Other problems include skin and eye irritation and issues such as oxidization of rubber components in household appliances, leading them to dry out and fail prematurely.
At Northern Plumbing, we begin your whole-home water filtration system design with a water quality test, performed by an EPA-certified laboratory. With those results in hand, we specify filtration components to address any issues found.
While chlorine is relatively simple to remove usine activated carbon (charcoal) filtration, removal of chloramine – which, for instance, St. Paul uses in its municipal water treatment – can be more of a challenge. The answer to both issues can be found in the Brita PRO catalytic carbon water filter. This filter, installed at the point where water enters your home, provides you a high-capacity flow of treated water, with reduced chlorine and chloramine levels and improved taste and purity. Contact us today to begin the process of designing your whole-home water filtration system.
