Shower Filters (Purifiers) & Shower Water Filtration Systems
The public water supply use chlorine to disinfect water to kill or inactivate microorganisms and other pathogens before distribution. However, it can negatively affect your family’s health if ingested or inhaled during showering. Chlorine is an inorganic substance that chemically bonds to the protein in our hair and skin, destroying its natural ecological balance. Chlorine byproducts leave your hair dry and brittle and make your skin flaky and itchy.
Chlorine can also provoke negative reactions in children, the elderly, and people with chlorine-sensitivity. Part of chlorine vaporizes into air we breathe when bathing, and the pollutant enters our lungs.
In addition to all mentioned disadvantages, chlorine and other harmful substances inhibit the results of conditioners, shampoos, oils and skin remedies, your skin remains dry and unnatural, and you waste much money, spent on these products.
Shower head water filters will reduce the chances of ingesting harmful chemicals into your skin as well as filter wide range of harmful chemicals including chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), THMs, and other harmful contaminants. These filters utilize a combination of showerhead and filter media. Most shower head water filters are equipped with KDF filter media while some come with combination of carbon and KDF which effectively reduces up to 90% of chlorine from shower water. The KDF media helps to convert harmful chlorine in water to an environmentally safe and harmless soluble chloride product.
Some shower water filters come as 2-stage filters that remove chemicals. Stage One shower water filters are designed with a granular copper/zinc media to reduce chlorine and to improve pH equilibrium. Stage Two shower head water filters are designed with high grade of coconut shell carbon to reduce VOCs in shower water.
Some shower water filters come with antioxidants. These antioxidants act as chlorine neutralizers making the free chlorine less toxic to the body. The antioxidants can last for almost six months depending on the number of persons in a household.
No matter which of the above mentioned types of shower water filters you may choose, you will enjoy the following benefits:
- Silky and shining hair. Shower filters have a softening effect on your shower water, so you hair rinses clean and shines beautifully.
- No fading of hair color or highlights. Hair that is chemically treated in any way (perm, coloring, etc.) is much more susceptible to chlorine damage which can cause hair color or highlights to fade or change. Shower filters will prevent these problems.
- No exposure to chemicals. We’re exposed to chemicals on a daily basis and our body has to work harder to eliminate these chemicals. As the exposure to chemicals goes up, the burden on our detox mechansims increases and toxins start to build up in your body. As skin is the largest organ in your body, and it’s fully exposed to whatever chemicals are in shower water. Warm shower water opens the pores in skin, which increases absorption. Since chlorine evaporates at room temperature, we get additional exposure by breathing chlorine in the shower steam. Reducing chemicals in shower water is most likely the fastest and easiest way to reduce the overall toxic burden on your body. Shower filters are specifically designed to handle chlorine, which is the most concentrated chemical in municipal water systems.
- Fresh air in your home. Evaporation of chlorine is one of the most common ongoing contributors to in home air pollution in America. Filtering your shower eliminates the major source of chlorine evaporation in your home.
- One less trigger for asthma attacks. Health professionals claim that asthma attacks are triggered when your body reaches a threshold of exposure to irritants. Eliminating just one irritant like chlorine can put you below the threshold of an asthma attack. A shower filter eliminates the main source of chlorine in your home’s air so you can breathe easier.
- Protection of children and the elderly. Children and the elderly are most vulnerable to the health effects of unfiltered shower water as their immune and detoxification systems are susceptible to toxins.
