Do you need a shower filter?

We all enjoy a nice hot shower to freshen up to start a new day, or to melt away stress. But should you be concerned about the contaminants you're showering in?

Our water supply now days can be contaminated with copper, chlorine and many other chemical substances that can be harmful to our health. It has been shown that we inhale and absorb up to twenty times more chlorine and other chemicals from showering than drinking water.

When chlorine heats up, as it does in the shower, your pores open up and you consume chlorine gas into your body and blood stream. Studies have linked chlorine to significant increases in certain types of cancer, asthma and skin irritations, such as eczema. It has been shown that up to two-thirds of the harmful exposure could be due to skin absorption and inhalation of chlorine in shower water. Shower filters can remove up to 99% of harmful chemicals and chlorine from your water, the content of oxygen in the water is also increased by up to ten times.

Along with chemical free shower water, also come cosmetic benefits such as;

• Younger looking, more supple skin without the drying effects of chlorine
