TTHMs
(Trihalomethanes)
TTHMs are created when chlorine reacts with decaying organic matter in the water. This group of four organic halides contaminates 90% of this country’s drinking water.
The AquaOx Removes TTHMs
TTHMs are created when chlorine reacts with decaying organic matter in the water. This group of four organic halides contaminates 90% of this country’s drinking water. All four compounds including chloroform, banned as an anesthetic in 1976, are either known or suspected of causing cancer. The AquaOx whole house water filters can remove the harmful TTHM’s (Trihalomethanes) from your water and keep your body going strong.
​
​Many of the contaminants found in household water are either known or suspected of causing cancer, and can interfere with a variety of body processes and can be toxic to many organs and tissues including the heart, bones, intestines, kidneys, brain, liver and reproductive and nervous systems.
Showering/Washing
Showering and running water cause chlorine and other harmful synthetic chemicals to become gaseous, making them easily inhaled. While showering, toxic volatized chlorine and cancer-causing Disinfectant Byproducts (DBPs) are released into the air.
Once inhaled, these chemicals enter the blood stream directly—without the partial filtering effect of digestion. This can cause or aggravate asthma, and other respiratory problems.
How To Remove Trihalomethanes Drinking Water
There are 4 different types of Trihalomethanes that are typically
found in drinking water. They are:
Chloroform
Dibromochloromethane
Bromodichloromethane
Bromoform
In order to remove these contaminates you will want a filter that contains carbon. The Aquaox has a two-stage carbon filtration system to ensure that the maximum amount of contaminants are removed.
