The benefits of Shower filter

Shower filters provide several benefits such as chlorine removal,

reduction of soap scum, prevention of dry skin and hair and the removal of unpleasant odors. Many shower filters help balance water ph for better sudsing and cleaning and remove synthetic chemicals in the water that can vaporize and be inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Even if you have un-chlorinated well water, there are benefits to using a shower filter in your home. The elimination of chlorine and chemicals from your shower water is as important as the removal of these contaminants from your drinking water. Some of the reasons for reducing chlorine and synthetic chemicals levels in your shower water include:· Chlorine bonds to skin and hair destroying the natural bacterial balance. This may lead to dryness, itching, flaking and premature skin aging.· Chlorine gas, chlorine by-products such as Trihalomethanes (THM's), chloroform and many synthetic chemicals may become vaporized in hot shower water and become a concentrated area for toxic gasses. You are consistently inhaling these gasses with regular shower activity and this may pose a long term health risk. · Chlorine and most other chemicals can also be absorbed by the skin. These chemicals can therefore enter the body even without direct ingestion from drinking water. You may absorb more chlorine and synthetic chemicals through the skin during your shower than through drinking unfiltered tap water.
