Shower Filter Comparisons

Shower filters can offer surprising health and cosmetic benefits by filtering out chlorine and other contaminants from shower water.

It has been proven that we take in 3-5 times more chemical contaminants from showering than from drinking water. A recent study published in the American Journal Of Public Health documented the link between chlorine and breast, colon and bladder cancer and stated that "2/3s of the harmful exposure is from showering...". The U.S. EPA states that "Due to chlorine and showering, there is an elevated level of chloroform gas in virtually every home in America...".
Many studies have linked chlorine to childhood asthma and again, reported that most of the risks are associated with showering in chlorinated water.

When chlorine vaporizes it combines with other airborne particles and forms chloroform gas, a known cause and contributor to asthma and other respiratory problems.

Even more noticeable, and probably more popular, are the surprising cosmetic benefits of shower filters. By removing chlorine and other chemicals from shower water, you notice softer skin and hair almost immediately. Anyone who has ever swam in a chlorinated pool can relate to the harsh effects that chlorine has on skin and hair. Showering in filtered water allows skin and hair to better retain moisture for a younger, healthier look and feel.

Recently described by Cosmetology Today Magazine as "One of the most beneficial health and beauty products ever developed...", shower filters greatly reduce exposure to harmful chemicals in tap water, some even balance the water's pH for even greater cosmetic benefits.
