Most people know not to drink tap water, but what they fail to realize is showering in unfiltered water is 10 times worse than drinking it.
10 Benefits of a Shower Filter
- The EPA has stated that every household in the US has elevated levels of chloroform in the air from chlorine released from the shower.
- Tap water often contains more chlorine than is recommended for swimming pools.
- More chlorine enters the body through skin absorption and inhalation while showering than through drinking tap water.
- Because of chlorine, showering in tap water has harsh, drying effects on skin and hair and contributes to premature aging.
- Skin pores widen while showering, making skin more absorbent of chlorine.
- The chlorine in showering water can cause rashes and other skin irritations when absorbed by the skin and lead to skin problems like eczema.
- Chemicals in showering water vaporize at a much faster rate than the actual water. Thus, the steam in a shower contains a much higher concentration of chemicals than the water itself.
- Inhaled chemicals make their way into the bloodstream quicker than ingested chemicals, without the added filtration benefits of digestion.
- More water contaminants are released into the air of a home from the shower than from any other source.
- Chlorine is a suspected cause of breast cancer. Women suffering from breast cancer are all found to have 50-60% more chlorine in their breast tissue than healthy women.
