Benefits of Shower Filtration Systems

Most people would not relish the idea of taking a shower in a pool of chlorinated water.

Most people would not relish the idea of taking a shower in a pool of chlorinated water. The truth is that those people without shower filtration systems are doing almost that. Most water coming directly from our taps contains just about the same amount of chlorine as a swimming pool. You can instantly eliminate the chlorine coming from your shower head by using a shower filter.

The danger of chlorinated water is that it removes the natural protective oils from your hair and skin. This can accelerate the signs of aging and significantly dry out your skin. The first thing you are bound to notice after installing your affordable shower filter system is the improvement in your skin and hair.

The type of filtering system that is used within a short filter is just not capable of removing much of anything else from hot water that is flowing quickly.

That being said, there are still health advantages to using a shower filter. It can improve the health of your skin and hair and prevent your family from inhaling chlorine fumes which can be toxic. Anyone who suffers from a respiratory ailment can really benefit from a shower filter system. Irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat are common problems associated with both chlorine and chloramines.

Enhanced pH balance of your shower water is another advantage of installing a shower filter. Different shower filters use various techniques and technology to remove unwanted items from the water. Watch out for manufacturers making outrageous claims about their filters ability to remove every type of synthetic chemicals or VOCs. These claims can usually not be substantiated with hard science and should be investigated carefully. This is true even for filters that claim to use a multiple stage process.

Shower filters are easy to install and relatively inexpensive. You can get good results from a shower filter that ranges from $40 - $90. You will not necessarily get better performance with shower filters that cost more than that. When purchasing a shower filter you will get the best performance with models that use Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid/Sodium ascorbate), KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion) or Chlorgon (Calcium Sulfite). Models which use Vitamin C and Chlorgon may also provide protection against chloramines, however each model is different.

The water we use for our shower impacts the health of our skin, hair, and respiratory system. It makes sense to make a small investment in a shower filter system to improve our health.
