1. The Importance of Shower Filters to Safeguard you from Chlorine’s harmful
effects.
Chlorine is a highly corrosive and reactive element commonly used to disinfect and
sanitize. Water that flows out of your tap is in all likelihood disinfected with chlorine,
just open the tap and you can smell the harmful vapors. Chlorine and its vapors are toxic
and this is the purpose of adding it to 98% of all water supplies; to kill waterborne
pathogens. You can smell chlorine in as low concentration as 3 ppm (parts per million) in
water. At concentrations of 30 ppm chlorine causes coughing and at 60 it causes lung
damage. Chlorine is toxic to living organisms since it oxidizes or takes away the oxygen
molecule and when in contact with water, it produces hydrochloric acid and
hypochlorous acid that can kill body cells. Research for decades has proven that
chlorine, if inhaled and ingested, is responsible for colorectal cancer, lung damage, heart
trouble, premature ageing, senility and more. The fact is that even though the powers
that be recognize the deleterious effects of chlorine, it still remains the cheapest and
most effective disinfectant used widely throughout the world to treat water. However,
the best way to protect yourself from this chemical contaminant is to have chlorine
absorbing filters in your water supply line.
When you shower, you ingest and inhale chlorine gas
dissolved in water. Apart from internal damage, your skin
is also damaged and your hair can become brittle, lifeless
and prematurely gray. There is no reason to put up with
chlorine risk when you can easily overcome it by simply
adding a chlorine absorbing water filtration system to
your shower head. In fact, a number of shower heads
have an integral chlorine absorbing filter element built into
the shower head. Classic examples are the OxyBlast

shower filters.
Thanks to modern technology reflected in the range of shower filters and shower heads
that are available, you can now enjoy multiple benefits. First is that shower heads
incorporating the shower filter are designed in a way to minimize pressure drop while
infusing added oxygen into the water to deliver powerful, oxygen rich sprays. Second, in
tall buildings with high water pressure, shower heads with integral shower filters are
built to withstand such pressure yet control the flow in such a way that the sprays are
powerful yet not sharp and stinging; most filtered shower heads also offer multiple
spray patterns that you may adjust in seconds providing sprays at the right pressure that
do not harm the skin but provide a soothing feeling of rejuvenation. Third, most
shower filters contain replaceable shower filter cartridges. These inexpensive filter
cartridges may be easily replaced by simply unscrewing the filter housing, removing the
old cartridge and putting a new one in its place. If you look around you will find such
cartridge shower filters in many models: economy shower heads, stationary shower
heads, baby bath shower heads and hand held shower heads.
Health risks due to the cumulative exposure to chlorine are extremely high. When you
use shower heads with appropriate shower filters, you keep the dangers away, enjoy
healthfully refreshing showers, rejuvenate your skin, make your hair shine and glow
from within.
