Chlorine in Queen Creek & San Tan Valley Water: What You Need to Know
How Much Chlorine Is in Local Water?
According to the Town of Queen Creek’s water quality reports, the average chlorine levels in the area range from 0.76 to 0.95 mg/L. That falls within federal EPA safety standards, but it’s still enough to smell, taste, and feel — especially during the hot summer months when water systems add more to prevent bacterial growth.
These numbers might be “legally safe,” but that doesn’t mean they’re ideal for your home or health.
What Chlorine Does to Your Body
Even at moderate levels, chlorine can cause:
Dry, itchy skin
Frizzy, brittle hair
Eye and respiratory irritation, especially in children or people with asthma
Long-term exposure concerns, including links to disinfection byproducts like THMs and HAAs.
These byproducts have been linked to an increased risk of bladder and colorectal cancers over time, according to recent health studies.
While you may not be drinking gallons of tap water daily, you do bathe, cook, and wash with it — which leads to constant exposure through skin contact and inhalation.
What Chlorine Does to Your Home
Over time, chlorine can slowly damage your plumbing and appliances:
Breaks down rubber seals and faucet components
Reduces the lifespan of water heaters
Causes scale and corrosion in fixtures
Leads to faded laundry and dry skin from showers
If you’ve noticed your fixtures wearing out faster, or your clothes coming out stiff, chlorine may be a hidden culprit.
How Whole-Home Filtration Fixes the Problem
The best way to remove chlorine before it reaches your body or your appliances is with a whole-home filtration system.
Our systems use high-capacity activated carbon and advanced media to:
Remove chlorine and its byproducts at the point of entry
Protect your plumbing and fixtures
Improve water taste and smell
Give you softer skin, better showers, and peace of mind
Unlike countertop or under-sink filters, a whole-home system treats every drop — from the kitchen sink to the upstairs shower.
