Shower Filters

Chlorine is universally used to disinfect water, killing bacteria and other micoorganisms. But once it arrives in your home, chlorine can negatively affect your family's longterm health, comfort, and even personal appearance.  Shower filters are relatively inexpensive and easy to install. You will find it well worth the effort.

For Softer Hair and Smoother Skin. Millions own water filters to remove chlorine from drinking water.  But 50% of chlorine exposures occurs in the shower.  Unfiltered shower water can double their exposure to chlorine by absorption through the skin and by inhalation of chlorine vapors.  Reducing / eliminating these chemicals from your shower water will result in softer hair and smoother skin.  Now you can fight brittle hair, dry skin and dandruff - where health and beauty begin - right in your shower. Very important consideration also for the health of your pet if it is washed in your shower.

Breathe easier: Chlorine vaporizes in hot shower water and, when inhaled into the lungs, is transferred into the blood stream.  Scientific studies have linked chlorinated water to potentially harmful by-products that can, over time, contribute to such health-threatening conditions as cancer of the bladder, liver, stomach and colon.   Heart disease, high blood pressure and allergies have also been linked with chlorine. Shower filtration systems help reduce these risks - so you can breathe easier.

For Today's Healthy Home. Shower filtration is a logical addition for people concerned about home environmental issues including the quality of water and air in their homes.  Help protect your home's personal environment and entire family with a water filter in every shower.

How Safe Is Your Shower Water? "Volatile organics can evaporate from water in a shower or bath."* * from: Is Your Water Safe to Drink? Consumer Reports Books "A long, hot shower can be dangerous. The toxic chemicals are inhaled in high concentrations." -from: Bottom Line; Dr. John Andelman, PhD. "Water is chlorinated to kill microorganisms, but the Chlorine also kills the healthy probiotic bacteria in the intestines." -from: Restoring Your Digestive Health; Jordan S. Rubin, N. MD., PhD. "Avoiding contact with chlorinated water is of the utmost importance. This includes bathing water and drinking water. Chlorine kills bacteria, friendly and unfriendly, in the intestines. it can be absorbed through the skin. I recomend installing a shower filter to remove Chlorine." -from: Patient, Heal Thyself; Jordan S. Rubin, N. MD., PhD. What is the Effect of Chlorine in the Shower? Chlorine is a toxic gas which attackes living cells. It was used during World War I as a chemical warfare agent. It is used today as a additive to drinking water to kill harmful micro-organisms. While this can be an important health benefit, Chlorine itself is far from beneficial: it attacks organic material, such as the skin and skin oils, which dries out the skin and hair. Because Chlorine vaporizes along with the hot water, it is inhaled into the lungs. It is also absorbed into the skin. According to some experts, 5 times more Chlorine enters the body through the skin during a shower than enters through drinking 8 glasses of chlorinated tap water!
