What's in my water?
No matter where you live in Ontario, if your water supply comes from a municipal source, the water in your home will contain trace amounts of many chemicals, including chemicals that are added to the water by treatment facilities and the by-products that are a result of these additives.
Below is a recent chart including the breakdown of such chemicals found in Toronto’s drinking water:
Municipalities do a great job by making sure that the water delivered to your home is potable and free of harmful bacteria such as e-coli by adding chemicals to your water such as chlorine and ammonia. By-products such as chloroform are created when chlorine comes into contact with organic compounds found in water.
The homeowner then needs to decide whether the quality of municipal water is suitable for their home and for the health of their family.
The best solution for chemical-free water is a home water filtration system. At MHS we provide whole home water filtration systems that will make sure you and your family will be drinking, bathing, and cleaning with water the way nature intended it to be.
