Filtered Shower Heads
|
|
Purify your shower water, rejuvenate your skin, restore your hair's natural shine and luster and invigorate your lungs with our chlorine removing Filtered Shower Heads.
Why Use Shower Filters Our shower filters help balance water ph for more suds and better cleaning, and they remove chlorine and synthetic chemicals in the water that can vaporize and be inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Shower filters provide several benefits such as: - Chlorine removal
- Reduction of soap scum
- Prevention of dry skin and hair
- The removal of unpleasant odors
Some of the reasons for reducing chlorine and synthetic chemical 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, chloroform, and many synthetic chemicals may become vaporized in hot shower water.
- 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.

Most people regard a hot shower or bath as one of life's little pleasures. However, what many people don't realize is the danger of chlorine in the water. Although chlorine is universally used to disinfect water, it is not safe for drinking, showering or bathing.

 Chlorine and Your Health
Trihalomethanes (THMs) are a byproduct of the water treatment process. They are formed when natural organic material, such as the decaying vegetation commonly found in lakes and reservoirs, reacts with chlorine used to treat the water. This reaction produces “disinfection by-products,” the most common of which are THMs. These potent chemical pollutants can trigger the production of excess free radicals in our bodies. Free radicals cause cell damage. Showering may negatively affect our health more than we ever thought. Gasses as a rule are less soluble in hot water, and when heated, the free chlorine in water escapes into the air we breathe. When taking a shower chlorine gasses are steadily increased in the air to an extent that we breathe the harmful fumes. Regularly taking hot showers with chlorinated water could irritate the lungs and pose a health risk. Chlorine and Aging Studies published in health magazines indicate the likelihood that regular exposure to chlorinated water can promote the aging process of the skin, much like extended exposure to sunlight. |
