Chlorine Shower Filter Protecting Your Skin From Harmful Chemicals

When moving into a new or different house people very seldom check the showers to see if there is a shower water filter. They assume that, as long as everything is working, there is no cause for concern. This is in error. One of the first things that should be attended to is a filter for every shower in the home.

 

Chlorine, a chemical commonly used in public water systems and swimming pools, is a very strong disinfecting chemical. It is not only used for this purpose but also for making very strong solvents used in disinfectants, dry cleaning, metal degreasing and other processes that require an extra strong bleach agent. It is actually a form of toxic gas that can cause many health problems including irritating the respiratory system if a person is accidentally exposed in certain situations.

 

Although Chlorine is added, in a very measured amount, to the water supply it flows through the entire house, including the shower. Contact between this chemical and the human body has shown to cause problems and should be avoided whenever possible. Since the most water contact occurs in a shower, shower filters are an excellent way to prevent this unwanted exposure.

 

As a very strong chemical chlorine can change other materials present in the water to an unnatural state. This changes the chemical makeup of the water and can cause problems from these other materials as well. These problems occur not just in the drinking water but also in the shower itself. The body is more exposed to chemicals while bathing than it is in actually drinking the water.

 

At the end of along hard day there is nothing more satisfying than standing for quite some time in a hot shower. It is comforting and relaxing. What is not realized is that one is breathing in vapor (steam) which is loaded with Chlorine. This chemical is entering the nose, lungs, throat and pores of the skin. This penetrates the body on all fronts and can lead to headaches and other health problems.

 

Complaints regarding showering with Chlorine in the water include dry and brittle hair, change of dyed hair color, dry finger nails and skin. The 'bleach' in Chlorine removes the natural body oils which keep these parts of the body in tip top condition. This causes the hair to break easily, cause flaking skin and broken fingernails.

 

There are a number of different types of shower filters. More commonly they are an activated carbon filter, a carbon resin or filtration membranes. Some companies combine two of these types into one filter. They are designed to allow the water to flow naturally but at the same time remove the impurities. This allows the person taking the shower to still have the strong flow of water without the impurities.

 

Placing a filter in the shower head is relatively easy and can be done by the average homeowner. When these filters wear out they are very easily replaced. Replacement of a water shower filter should be as often as one changes the batteries in their smoke alarm system. Both are essential for safety of all family members.
