Yes chlorine is very bad for our health. Many illness is due to poor quality consumption. Even those who rear fish have to use a chlorine tester to check the chlorine level in the water for their fish; so what's more for human. Definitely have to install a water filter system certified by NSF. We dont want to burden our kidneys with contaminants. I'm using Espring brand. I've tried 2 other brands before n I would claim that Espring brand is the best water filter system. Compact model, gd taste, preserve the good minerals in water while filter out 140 contaminants; has UV light to kill the virus, has indicator to tell u exactly when to change the filter.

If interested, can email: jodor38@yahoo.com to find out more :)

Chlorine is added to water to to make it fit for human consumption as drinking water. Water which has been treated with chlorine is effective in preventing the spread of waterborne disease.

To know more, you can google "Chlorination".

Boiling water is the most effective method to kill bacteria and viruses.

To get bacteria and viruses out of your water (not just killing it in water), you can use water filter.

Look out for the membrane filtration size. Most water filter today filter only upto 0.1 micron size. One of the best filter is from Hyflux at filtering upto 0.01 micron size (UF filter).

At 0.01, you can block 99.9999% of bacteria out and 99.99% viruses out.

I just bought HF1P-3AA. Very good.

You can visit their web page at www.hyfluxshop.com

Does your water filter filters out Radioactive substances, pharmaceutical heavy metals, chemicals, chlorine, flouride?

Does your water filter filters out Bacteria (99.99994%) , Protozoa (99.994%), Viruses (99.993%), Parasite (99.994%) ?

Does your water filter exceed NSF Standard 53 for the [you]removal of[/you] Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Bacteria and Virus?

Does your water filter exceed NSF Standard 42 for the [you]removal of[/you] Chlorine ?

Will it filter through real world test, like drinking from swamp water, and asking your kids to drink from it?

Does it filter out
Drinking from a polluted stream, stagnant fish pond, and a mud puddle

I'm using this system call Coway from Korea, introduced by my sis. I'm also using the air purifier from them. The sales person told me their membrane is smallest in the market, 0.0001 micron. I was worried about if the water is too clean, will it filter out all the good minerals in the water. Also, if too clean, dunno if it will affect our own immunity system. But they told me they use a mineral filter in their water tank at the very last, so can replace some of the mineral lost, also the water wun taste "too flat". Anyway I quite like the system so far cos the hot and cold water save me lotsa time. Also got room temperature so I no need mix hot and cold water myself. A bit pricier than some other brands though, but it comes with free first year service and change of filter. So far so good, their people also quite professional. Best part is when I introduce my friend to buy, they still give me referral fee. LOL
