The Benefits Of Installing A Shower Water Filter
Is a
water filter for your shower head necessary? You be the judge based
on the information below.
Many people today realize the importance and value
in drinking and cooking with some form of purified water. You can either
buy bottled water or purchase a purifier for you faucet.
But fewer seem to understand why a good shower head filter may
be just as important.
Chlorine is a disinfectant added during the
treatment process in our water systems to help kill bacteria. That’s a
good thing. But chlorine is somewhat
of a Jekyll/hyde to our water as it can have harmful effects
on us as well.
The showers we take are typically in warm or hot
warm. The water is heated
to a vapor state and the chlorine in the water tends to
get converted to chloroform.
This chloroform
is then easily absorbed into the blood stream or inhaled in. Because warm water
opens the pores of our skin, we are susceptible
to the evils of chlorine- both through inhalation of mist or steam
and through our skin.
Absorbing the same
amount of chlorine into our body in a ten minute shower may be equivalent
to drinking two liters of unfiltered water. If you
have respiratory problems or youngsters who take showers you especially should have
some concerns about this.
It has been proven that being exposed to chlorine
over long periods of time can increase the risk of cancer. Additional
harmful effects on the body are possible due
to other contaminants sometimes found in water such as lead and other
toxic metals and cysts.
The good news is that a quality shower
head water filter
can remove the many impurities- including chlorine from your water.
An ideal filter removes different parasites and germs as well as the
chlorine. They should also remove synthetic drugs that may find their way
into the water system.
Installing a filter can improve your overall
health in other ways also. It can aid in
your hair and skin retaining its natural moisture since chlorine has a
drying effect on these.
You
many also feel even more energized after showering and the air
quality in the house can be improved because it will eliminate the impurities
in the mist that floats about.
