4 Good Reasons To Use A Shower Water Filter.

Shower water filters. Now just why would you bother with one. Clearly we need to filter our drinking water so we’re drinking clean water, but why in the world would you filter shower water?

After all, you don’t drink out of the shower do you? You only wash.

But even so there are excellent reasons to use a shower water filter. Here’s 4 good reasons in support of using a shower water filter every time you shower.

1. Chlorine. Now we all know that you shouldn’t drink chlorine, and that the best water filters filter out chlorine. There’s no doubt that drinking chlorine isn’t good for you and some consider it very likely that drinking chlorine causes cancer.

But chlorine in the shower water is still a problem. Because some of the water that lands on your skin soaks into your skin, and your body. And chlorine goes in with it. So in effect you have the same result as if you had drunk unfiltered water. And hot water opens the pores and allows more chlorine in.

2. And hot chlorinated water releases chlorine gas into the air, so you breathe it.

There was a recent report in the American Journal of Public Health. It linked chlorine with cancer. And where do you think it concluded that we got 2/3rds of our chlorine? From skin absorption and breathing chlorine in the shower.

And of course when the chlorine gets out of the shower it contaminated the atmosphere in your home.

And there’s more nasty effects to chlorine in your shower water. It dries out and damages your hair. Just think back to what your hair felt like after a swim in a pool. That’s chlorine. And chlorine can dry out the natural oils in your skin and make your skin itchy. Shower filtration is especially useful to anyone with excema.

3. All the above applies to many of the other chemicals and toxins that are found in our water. Nasties like pesticides and herbicides, lead, antibiotics, heavy metals and much much more.

Some of these toxins will be like chlorine, will form a gas in hotter water. And so even if you’ve filtered nasty toxins out of your drinking water you’re still drinking them in the shower, by breathing them in.

4. A good shower water filter softens your water, and makes your skin and hair softer and healthier. Hair looks healthier and any colors or tips don’t fade.

And the good news is that the best shower water filters will remove up to 99.99% of chlorine, so that’s basically all of it. And shower water filters filter out those other 2100 toxins too.

There are some more expensive, but if you compare shower water filters you’ll find that you can buy the worlds best shower water filter for under $70.

We did research on the effects of chlorine in our water supply and then realized the effects it has by taking a shower with chlorinated water. Our skin is our largest organ and when we heat the water, and then heat our skin, we open ourselves up to absorbing the chlorine. We really appreciate our shower filter.
