The science your water company won't tell you
Every shower, every bath, every hand wash — your family absorbs endocrine-disrupting chemicals directly through the skin and into the bloodstream. The CHLORAMAX® and G5002 work together to stop them.
Federal limits haven't been updated in decades. Legal doesn't mean safe.

Chemicals absorbed through skin bypass the liver and enter the bloodstream in their most active form. Studies prove showering delivers higher doses than drinking.
of water touches your skin daily through showers, baths, hand washing, and laundry.
of water is consumed as drinking water. Your liver partially filters ingested chemicals first.
Blood trihalomethane levels increased by 57 to 358 pg/mL after showering and bathing — far exceeding increases from drinking the same water.

Different chemicals enter your body through different routes. The CHLORAMAX® protects your skin. The G5002 protects what you drink.
Installed at your point of entry. Treats every drop before it reaches any tap, shower, or appliance in your home.
Under your kitchen sink. Ultra-fine membrane filtration for the water you drink and cook with, plus certified remineralization.
A carbon filter on one faucet leaves your family's skin completely unprotected — and can't remove the most dangerous drinking water contaminants either.
Does nothing about the 20-40 gallons of water your skin touches daily through showers, baths, and hand washing.
Carbon catches some, but misses short-chain forever chemicals. Only reverse osmosis handles the full spectrum.
If you have a water softener, the sodium it adds passes right through carbon. Only RO removes it.
Activated carbon has zero effect on fluoride levels in your water.
Agricultural runoff chemicals pass right through carbon filters.
Arsenic, lead, and hexavalent chromium require reverse osmosis or specialized media.
A water softener protects your home from hard water scale — but it replaces calcium and magnesium with sodium. Here's why that matters.
The CHLORAMAX® removes chlorine, THMs, VOCs, pesticides, and other chemicals from every tap in your home.
Removes calcium & magnesium (hardness) to protect your pipes, appliances, skin, and hair — but replaces them with sodium ions.
The only home filtration that reliably removes sodium — and adds healthy calcium and magnesium back.
A typical softener adds ~30 mg of sodium per glass. Carbon filters leave 100% of it.
You can't control the treatment plant. You can't control the pipes. But you can control what happens once the water crosses your front door.
