Epichlorohydrin in Shalimar Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Epichlorohydrin in the Water Supply of Shalimar Florida Homes

Epichlorohydrin is an industrial chemical that can occasionally be found in drinking water at very low concentrations, sometimes related to materials or processes used in treatment and distribution. Because it usually doesn’t change the taste, smell, or color of tap water, homeowners in Shalimar might not detect it by senses alone. For families who prefer to limit exposure to trace chemicals in everyday water, a whole-house system treats water at every faucet so you’re addressing the water used for drinking, cooking, and bathing rather than only the kitchen sink.

Since epichlorohydrin is considered a health-related contaminant rather than an aesthetic issue, it helps to consider all the ways water is used in a Shalimar household—cooking, brushing teeth, dishwashing and showering all increase contact over time. You can add targeted treatment to your plumbing without changing how your family uses water; the idea is simple: install a system sized for your home to give you more confidence in the water coming from every tap.
