Chlorine is added to Perth's drinking water to help eliminate harmful bacteria and keep water safe as it travels through the distribution network.

Its primary purpose is to:

  • Disinfect the water supply

  • Protect water quality during distribution

  • Help meet Australian Drinking Water Guidelines

Although chlorine is considered safe at regulated levels, many homeowners choose to reduce it for a more enjoyable water experience throughout the home.

Some homeowners choose to reduce chlorine because it may contribute to:

  • Dry skin

  • Dry or brittle hair
