Shower Filters for Our Health!Showering without Shower Filters in warm water opens the pores of the skin and allows a high rate of absorption of chlorine and other chemicals though those open pours.
In fact, the steam we inhale while showering can also contain up to 20 times the level of chlorine and other synthetic chemicals than tap water. This is because these toxic chemicals found in tap water vaporize at lower temperatures and at a very much faster rate than water. A recent report in the American Journal of Public Health linked chlorine to significant increases in certain types of cancer and stated that "up to 2/3 of the harmful exposure was due to skin absorption and inhalation while showering". Inhalation of chlorine and chemical vapors is known to be a strong irritant to the tissues in our lungs and is suspected to be a leading cause of asthma and bronchitis. The use of shower filters is the easiest way of preventing such exposure. When chemicals are inhaled into our lungs, they enter directly into our bloodstream and the adverse effects are magnified, compared to ingested chemicals which are partially filtered out by the liver and kidneys. Without the effects of chlorine and other chemicals found in tap water, your skin and hair retain moisture more effectively for a younger, healthier look and feel. Our shower filters are extremely easy to install and last for up to 12 months before having to replace the filter cartridge. With Sydney Water monitoring our drinking water from the Blue Mountains through to the Eastern Suburbs, we do still have the final responsibility of remove the chlorine and other toxins once the water arrives safely to our taps.
