Research findings indicate that suspected carcinogenic compounds, called trihalomethanes, can actually be formed during chlorine disinfection when organic substances are present. To remedy this, activated carbon filtration or reverse osmosis units should become a part of all up-to-date home chlorination systems. To remove chlorine taste, use an activated carbon filter after the contact tank and just before the point of use faucet.
Iron is known to leach into water supplies throughout the United States from rock and soil formations. It has been said, probably an exaggeration, that there is hardly a square foot of soil that does not have some iron content. Iron is at least 5% of the earths crust.
One of the most convenient methods to raise pH, and add a little hardness and alkalinity is to use a calcite neutralizer filter. These filters will typically raise the pH of the water from 6.0 to 7.0 or a total of around 1 point and add 30 to 100 ppm of hardness depending on the alkalinity and water hardness.
