Chlorine is one of the most common chemicals found in city water. It’s added by municipalities to disinfect the water supply and kill harmful bacteria, which makes it an important part of modern water treatment. But while chlorine serves a purpose, many homeowners don’t like what it does to their water at home.
High chlorine levels can make your water taste and smell unpleasant—sometimes resembling a swimming pool. It can also dry out your skin and hair, fade clothing, and damage rubber seals in plumbing fixtures and appliances. Over time, some chlorine byproducts (like trihalomethanes, or THMs) can raise additional concerns for water safety.
At Mid-Atlantic Water Services, we’ve been helping families and businesses in the Annapolis area to reduce chlorine for decades. Our custom filtration systems are designed to keep the protection you need while delivering cleaner, fresher, and better-tasting water throughout your home.
