Why filter Your Shower Water?

Tap water contains Chlorine.  Chlorine is a toxic chemical.  It is used in water treatment to reduce and kill forms of biological agents such as the bacteria and viruses found in water systems. 
 
Chlorine is harmful when you drink it, when it is absorbed into your skin and when you inhale it into your lungs when you shower.  It has been estimated that the "shower steam" in your bathroom can contain up to 100 times the amount of chlorine than the water, because chlorine evaporates out of water at a relatively low temperature.  If you bathe or shower in unfiltered tap water you are inhaling and absorbing chlorine into your body.

Filtering the water used in your shower is vital to maintain good health.

Conditions contributed to or aggravated by chlorine exposure are:

  • Respiratory Conditions (nose, throat, lungs, sinuses): Asthma, bronchitis
  • Hair: Dry, brittle
  • Skin: Dry, flaking, dandruff, itching, rashes (especially with infants and children)
  • Eye irritations and other conditions
One half of our daily chlorine exposure is from showering. Chlorine is not only absorbed through the skin, but also re-vaporized in the shower, inhaled into the lungs, and transferred directly into the blood system. In fact, the chlorine exposure from one shower is equal to an entire day's amount of drinking the same water.
 
For people who are concerned about their health and are willing to take the responsibility to do something about it, a top quality shower water filter is an affordable solution to the problem.
