Disinfected Doesn’t Mean Healthy
Too Much Chlorine in Your Water? Here’s What Should Worry You
While chlorine protects your water from bacteria, excess levels can affect your health, skin, and taste. A Clear Alternative helps New Jersey families find the right balance with smart water treatment solutions.
What Is Chlorine in Water?

Dry, itchy skin and brittle hair

Still Have Questions About Your Water?
We’re here to help you make the right choice for your home.
Whether you're curious about how our systems work, what’s in your water, or what happens after installation—we’ve got answers to the most common questions our customers ask.
How do I know if I need a water treatment system?
If you notice odd tastes, odors, stains, or cloudy water—or just want peace of mind—it's worth testing your water. We offer free water testing to identify the best solution.
What types of contaminants can your systems remove?
Our systems are designed to reduce or eliminate chlorine, hardness, iron, bacteria, PFAS, nitrates, and more.
Do I need a whole-home system or just drinking water filtration?
That depends on your needs. We offer both whole-home solutions and point-of-use options like reverse osmosis.
Is installation included, and how long does it take?
Yes! Professional installation is included. Most systems can be installed in just a few hours.
What maintenance is required?
We design our systems to be low-maintenance, and we offer service plans so you don’t have to worry about upkeep.
What’s the difference between softening and filtration?
Softening removes minerals that cause hardness and scale (like calcium and magnesium), while filtration targets contaminants like chlorine, sediment, iron, and VOCs. Many homes use a combination of both. See our residential solutions.
Is my water safe to drink?
Municipal water is treated, but often still contains chlorine, byproducts, or trace contaminants like PFAS. Well water is unregulated and varies by region. Best way to be 100% sure you're drinking safe, clean water is to get a water test done and have proper filtration system in place.
Do you offer financing?
Yes — flexible financing options are available. Ask during your consultation or contact us to learn more.
