• Exposure to chlorine through drinking, swimming, and showering may increase your risk of developing asthma.
• Even if you’re not adding bleach, the chlorine in your water supply will gradually fade your laundry. No matter what color-preserving detergents you use, those brilliant reds are eventually going to be pink.
• Because of it’s drying effect, chlorine reduces the lifespan of the appliances that use water. How? It causes rubber gaskets to wear down and crack, causing leaks to occur.
