What Use Are Shower Water Filters?
Shower water filters. Clearly we need to filter our drinking water, but why in the world would you bother to filter your shower water?
After all, you just wash in it don’t you, you don’t drink the shower water.
Even so there are good reasons to use shower water filters in every shower. Lets have a look at what they are. Here’s 4 good reasons to use a shower water filter.
1. Chlorine. If there’s chlorine in your water, (and who doesn’t have chlorine in their water), you really don’t want to be drinking it. Some consider that over time drinking chlorine can even lead to cancer.
But even showering in chlorinated water is a problem. Several actually. Because when you shower some of the water goes into your skin. And in a hot shower your pores actually open wider and let more in, and if there’s chlorine in the water the chlorine goes in too. So in effect you’ve just drunk chlorinated water.
2. As you shower the hot water releases chlorine gas into the air in the shower, and it stays in the shower as it cant get out, so you’re breathing 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 the chlorine must eventually waft out of the shower, and when it does it contaminates the atmosphere in your home.
And there’s more. Chlorine dries out your skin and damages your hair. Remember what you hair felt like after an extended swim in the pool? That’s chlorine. And it dries out the natural oils in your skin and make your skin itchy, ask any excema sufferer.
3. And the above reasons all apply to many other nasty chemicals and toxins found in our water. There are, according to the Ralph Nader Institute, up to 2100 toxic chemicals found in our water.
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. And the best shower water filters both make your skin feel and look softer and make your hair look and feel healthier. Hair color doesn’t seem to fade like it used to.
But fortunately the best shower water filters will remove up to 99.99% of chlorine, and those 2100 other toxic chemicals that the Ralph Nader Institute tells us about.
And it is way cheaper than you’d imagine too. The best shower water filters cost less than $70, and that’s cheap compared to the grief and cost of, say, cancer. Even including replacement filters it’s really inexpensive.
So there you have 4 good reasons to buy yourself a shower water filter. Or preferably a whole house water filter, then all the water you use anywhere is filtered and clean. But if you’re thinking of a good shower water filter make sure you buy a good drinking water filter as well, that’s a must.
