Water Filtration

A shower is an essential part of our morning routine. But what we don’t realize is that the chemically treated water coming out of the shower can cause many serious health problems and affect our beauty as well. Shower filters can help fight these diseases and prevent dryness of skin and split ends in hair.

Health Benefits Of Using Shower Filters

Chlorine, which is generally used to purify water for drinking and bathing purposes, has many harmful effects on the body. It has been found that tap water may contain chlorine in levels that are as high as those recommended for swimming pools. This chlorine can lead to serious health problems such as cell damage, heart disease, hardening of arteries, respiratory problems and irritation in the nose and throat. As compared to normal water, chemicals in hot shower water vaporize at a much faster rate. This leads to a higher concentration of chemicals in the shower steam than that in the water itself.  

During a hot shower, the heat from the shower releases chlorine vapors. These inhaled chemicals are quickly absorbed in the bloodstream and affect the lungs and the respiratory system. In addition, the skin pores widen during a shower and this leads to greater absorption of chlorine by the skin cells. Chlorine is also known to be an important cause of breast cancer among women. By using a proper shower filter, you can prevent such health problems.

Beauty Benefits Of Using Shower Filters

Chlorine in water can damage the skin and make it dry. This can cause the skin to lose its natural moisture and develop wrinkles. It can make you look older and cause skin rashes. Chlorine has a damaging effect on your hair, too. But the use of shower filters can help to keep your hair moisturized and prevent static electricity and split ends. It can give your hair a shinier look and make it more manageable. Also, due to reduction in skin dryness, your face will begin to glow and regain its lost elasticity.
