Doria Shower filter

ere are benefits to using a shower filter in your home. The elimination of chlorine and chemicals from your shower water is as important as the removal of these contaminants from your drinking water. Some of the reasons for reducing chlorine and synthetic chemicals levels in your shower water include:

Chlorine bonds to skin and hair destroying the natural bacterial balance. This may lead to dryness, itching, flaking and premature skin aging. Chlorine gas, chlorine by-products such as Trihalomethanes (THM's), chloroform and many synthetic chemicals may become vaporized in hot shower water and become a concentrated area for toxic gasses. You are consistently inhaling these gasses with regular shower activity and this may pose a long term health risk. Chlorine and most other chemicals can also be absorbed by the skin. These chemicals can therefore enter the body even without direct ingestion from drinking water. You may absorb more chlorine and synthetic chemicals through the skin during your shower than through drinking unfiltered tap water. Studies have shown that chlorine can destroy protein in the body and has adverde effects on your hair and skin. Chlorine chemically bonds with the protein in the skin and hair,making hair brittle and dry and the sensitive skin itchy and flaky. Research shows that those long, hot showers we enjoy are actually a healt risk! When the chlorine found in water evaporates into steam and is inhaled, the fumes can be 6-100 times more toxic than exposure to chlorinated drinking water.
