CHLORINE FILTERS

Chlorine is used to treat public water sources because it kills harmful bacteria and other organisms. However, there are experts who believe that long-term exposure to chlorinated water can cause a number of health problems. Showering with chlorinated water presents the greatest risk, because chlorine is readily absorbed through the skin and inhaled as the water is vaporized in the shower. The solution to this exposure is a chlorine filter for your shower, for the chlorine has already killed the organisms found in public water supplies and then is filtered out just before you are exposed to it. In short, you get the benefits of chlorinated water without any exposure to the chlorine!

Chlorine Shower Filters

Chlorine shower filters are easy to install and fit just above the shower head. Crystals filter out the chlorine, as well as hydrogen sulfide, iron oxide (rust water), traces of heavy minerals, and other odors and sediment. Manufactures of chlorine shower filters claim that the benefits of using these products include healthier skin and hair, reduction of allergy symptoms, as well as a reduced possibility of experiencing health conditions that may result from overexposure to chlorine. Chlorine shower filters are available online and at stores like Whole Foods Market and Home Depot. They typically sell for about $20-$50.
