Chlorine is used today as an additive in drinking water to kill harmful micro-organisms. While this can be an important health benefit, many people feel that chlorine itself is far from beneficial. Attacking organic material, such as the skin and skin oils, chlorine dries out the skin and hair. It is also absorbed into the skin. According to some experts, 5 times more chlorine enters the body through the skin during a shower than through drinking 8 glasses of chlorinated tap water! Further, because chlorine vaporizes along with the hot water, it is inhaled into the lungs.
Some of the benefits from using a shower filter:
- Moist, smoother skin- less itching, requires less moisturizer
- Healthier hair- less brittle, fewer split ends, deeper, longer-lasting color for dyed or highlighted hair
- Eliminates chlorine odor from skin and hair
- Prevents breathing chlorine gas and/or its absorption into skin
- Stops burning around the eyes of chlorine-sensitive people
On average, one filter cartridge will last approximately one year. Initially, the filter will remove 98% of chlorine. Over time, the removal percentage declines to about 87% after one year. Accordingly, we recommend annual cartridge replacement.
