Epichlorohydrin in North Bal Harbor Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Epichlorohydrin in the Water Supply of North Bal Harbor Florida Homes

Epichlorohydrin is an industrial chemical that can occasionally be present in drinking water at very low levels, sometimes related to materials or processes used in treatment and distribution. It usually doesn’t produce a noticeable taste, smell, or color in tap water, so many homeowners in North Bal Harbor and nearby Miami-Dade County wouldn’t detect it by senses alone. Because residents often prefer to minimize chemical exposure in everyday water, a whole-house strategy treats every faucet and fixture—so showers, laundry and all taps are covered, not just the kitchen sink.

When epichlorohydrin is a concern, it helps to consider the many ways you contact water at home: cooking, brushing teeth, dishwashing and bathing all add up over time. In North Bal Harbor’s warm, humid climate and with typically hard municipal water, homeowners may also be thinking about scale and overall water quality at every outlet. A whole-house treatment can be integrated without changing how your household runs, sized to match family needs so you get greater confidence in the water coming from every tap.
