hey guys today we’re gonna talk about

chlorine in tap water okay now if you

have city water hopefully you have a

filter underneath your sink or in your

whole house one point I want to bring up

is that you actually if you if you don’t

have a filter in your shower you can

absorb a tremendous amount of chlorine

[Applause]

so it does go through the skin so

there’s some complications to chlorine

one is lung problems increase your risk

for bladder cancer decreases your immune

system of course the CDC says it’s safe

so we know it’s safe right but it’s very

toxic to fish but I do understand that

you need to actually disinfect

whatever’s in the water but you just

need a good filter in your house but

here’s an interesting point

you want to call your water company and

you want to find out do they use just

chlorine or a chemical called chloramine

because the problem of chlorine is it

evaporates easily and then it’s gone but

what they did is they added ammonia to

make a new chemical compound called

chloramine and which is highly

persistent it stays in the water a lot

longer but the problem is means it’s

more toxic and regular activated carbon

filters will not pull this out you need

something a little different so if you

have chlorine in your water supply you

need to get a high grade catalytic

carbon filter just a different filter

you want to add either underneath the

sink or for the whole house alright

that’s my tip of the day thanks for
