Best Chlorine Removal Company in Indianapolis

Why should you remove chlorine from your home’s water?

We have relied on chlorine to purify our water and kill unwanted microorganisms, and it has done a good job of killing most of them for over 100 years. But there are some down sides.

Chlorine treatment does not absolutely ensure the faucets in your home provide drinking water that is free of unhealthy microorganisms. Bacteria e-coli can occasionally be found in chlorinated tap water. So chlorine treatment doesn’t guarantee safe drinking water.

The chlorine used to treat our water combines with organic matter in the water to form compounds called Trihalomethanes (THMs). THMs are toxic when consumed, inhaled, or applied to the skin.

Our water quality expert can visit your home and analyze your water for only $17. Chlorine is only one of the things that the water quality analysis can reveal.

How can I remove chlorine from my water?

A reverse osmosis system removes impurities including chlorine from water. It uses your home’s water pressure to push tap water through a semi-permeable membrane. Your will have healthier water with a great taste and no odor.

Carbon filtration absorbs chlorine without negatively affecting your home’s water. The carbon filter removes chlorine and organic compounds and provides filtered water throughout your home. This minimizes the amount of chlorine that you absorb while bathing or inhale while showering. Adding a reverse osmosis water system in your kitchen will produce the safest drinking water that tastes good and is odor-free.

What are the effects of drinking chlorinated water?

Research on the health effects of chlorinated drinking water has revealed some issues with toxicity. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), there is evidence that supports a potential association between long-term exposure to high levels of THMs and bladder, colon, and rectal cancer.

There is also a concern about the effects of chlorine on pregnancy. The Environmental Research Foundation cites several studies linking moderate to heavy consumption of chlorinated tap water by pregnant women with higher miscarriage and birth defect rates.

What are the effects of chlorinated water on our bodies?

You inhale chlorine during showers. When you shower and bathe in chlorinated water, you may be exposed to more chlorine than you are when drinking it. Chlorine is not only absorbed through your skin, but also inhaled into your lungs when it vaporizes in the shower. So most of our exposure to chlorine is during our showers. How long do you usually stand under chlorinated water?

Food for thought…

What happens when you put chlorine into a fish bowl?

Answer: All the fish die. That is why fish tanks come with a de-chlorinator.

So, why are we drinking and showering in chlorinated water?

Facts About Drinking Water

Water makes up approximately 70% of a human’s body weight – but DON’T stop drinking water to lose weight!
Approximately 80% of your brain tissue is made of water (about the same percentage of water found in a living tree).
The average amount of water you need per day is about 3 liters (13 cups) for men and 2.2 liters (9 cups) for women.
By the time you feel thirsty, your body has lost more than 1 percent of its total water.
Drinking water can help you lose weight by increasing your metabolism, which helps burn calories faster.
The average person could live without food for nearly a month, but we could only survive about one week without water—that’s how essential water is to human life.
Good hydration can prevent arthritis. With plenty of water in your body, there is less friction in your joints, thus less chance of developing arthritis.
Drinking enough water everyday can help reduce heart disease and cancer. Water helps flush toxins out of your body, and the fewer toxins that come into contact with your colon, bladder, and other organs, the less chance that critical ailments can develop.
Good hydration can help reduce cavities and tooth decay. Water helps produce saliva, which keeps your mouth and teeth clean.

"They replaced the entire sewer line from the house to the street using a technique called “pipe bursting” where they pull a new line through the old line. We used a coupon where for $93 they freed up a clog in our old line and put a camera down the line to figure out what the problem was... I like that they didn’t have to dig up my yard for this particular technique..."

“It was my good fortune to have Carl as the installer of my sump pump this past June. He was on time, polite, and willing to talk to my son in Chicago about the installation. My husband of 37 years had recently died, and I was not versed on sump pumps or their installation. My son wanted to be sure the installer was the right kind of guy to be dealing with his grieving mother. Carl explained things not only to me, but also to my son to both of our satisfactions! I was so impressed with his professional appearance and attitude that I was not alarmed by the fact that a “stranger” was spending the day in and out of my house! I immediately recommended Williams Comfort Air and Carl in particular to friends who were in need of plumbing services, too. The whole process was pleasant and I’m still pleased with my sump pump. Then on one of the hottest days of the summer (July) Frank and Ryan were directed to take out my 32 year old furnace and install a new one. Having already used Williams Comfort Air for my sump pump installation, I expected a certain quality in the workers and their workmanship. Frank and Ryan did not disappoint me! They worked hard all day, had lunch with me, and continued working the rest of the 95 degree day! Once again, I felt comfortable with the two of them in my home. They were respectful and thorough with all that they did. I did recommend the company to my pastor and his wife because I felt that they would get good service from a reputable company and professional service from the guys in charge of the installation. Frank and Ryan even came back another day to show me (again) how to program the thermostat! Part of the “comfort” of Williams Comfort Air is being comfortable with the company and it employees. Both my experiences with them have proven to me and my son that they adhere to the highest standards.”

Last year was a tough year as my son passed away. Two weeks later my water heater began leaking ruining the kitchen floor and bedroom closet. If that wasn't bad enough, our AC stopped working at the same time. Mr. Plumber was at my house until after midnight on a Sunday night to make sure we had hot water. Oh yes, Williams was on site and repaired my AC. It truly was a fragile time and the professionalism along with the compassion from both Mr. Plumber and Williams Comfort Air employees has created a life long client to my plumbing and HVAC needs.

“Your service technician, Jason Lee, installed a Rinnai tankless water heater and Easy Water 2000 system at our home on 3-30-09. We want you to know what an outstanding job Jason and his crew did for us! Our old water heater died on Saturday, 3-28-09. We spoke with Jason on the phone that day after calling your emergency service. Jason was not able to come out to our home that day, but he took the time to discuss our needs and explain the Rinnai system to us. He also directed us to the Rinnai web site to further research this option. When Jason came out to our home on 3-30-09, he again took the time to explain the Rinnai options as well as the Easy Water 2000 system and benefits. Once we made our decision, Jason assembled his crew and immediately got to work. The entire crew was courteous and efficient. Most impressive was Jason’s willingness to miss an evening class that he is taking to finish our job! Having been without hot water for two days, this gesture of dedication was greatly appreciated by our family! We are extremely happy with the products that Jason recommended and installed and the experience with Metzler’s Mr. Plumber was exceptional at all levels. We will be happy to recommend your service to all our friends and neighbors.”

The below is a Facebook posting from Mardi. All of you exemplify A Winning Team! “I had a water pipe give way in my older home on a Sunday morning, so I shut off all the water to the house. Williams Comfort Air does all of my heating and air and was coming on Monday morning for my bi-annual service. I knew they did plumbing too as Mr. Plumber, so I waited to talk to my technician, Allen. He handled the whole thing. He called it in for me, explained the gravity of the situation and got me help within a couple of hours. Thank you Allen! Because my home is on a slab and the old corroded pipe could not be fixed as it was, my sandstone floor would have had to be jackhammered up and I didn’t want that. Supervisor Mike and I looked at all of the options and also looked at all exposed pipe in the house. It was all showing signs of leakage in several places and heavy corrosion, so I opted for having the entire house re-plumbed overhead. I also chose to replace everything that processes water in my house. I got hot-water-on-demand, a rust filtration system (rusty well water), a new water softener, new R.O., a new comfort height toilet and had some inconvenient piping rerouted to the gas dryer and to the outside hose bib. As you can imagine, this was a major expense and it took three and a half days, plus extra evening hours, because the guys really cared that I have water as soon as possible. It was done so well that I was thrilled. My house is safe now and my water is right for the first time in 20 years. I didn’t feel bad at all about the expense. I had three or four big Williams vehicles in my driveway every day and three to five Williams technicians every day and every one of them was so highly skilled that I was constantly impressed and in awe of their skill. Not only were they top-notch at their jobs, but they were fun to have here and I actually missed them when the job was done. We all hugged when the job was over. Thank you Mike, Jared, Bob, Brandon, Jeff, John and Dan. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You made me very, very happy, but I know that you know that.”
