Chlorine-Free Shower Filters Gaining Popularity

By Jeff Wise


Word is spreading about chlorine-free shower filters but many people are wondering why it's necessary to have one. After all, you don't drink the water in your shower. How could it be harmful?

Actually, chlorine in your shower is even more harmful than the chlorine in your drinking water. Chlorine is very toxic and depending on the level of exposure and length of use you can experience side effects anywhere from headaches to lung collapse.

Chlorine from the shower affects the body in different ways from chlorine in the drinking water. Showers generally use warm or hot water, and the heat opens the pores, allowing chlorine to enter the skin. Also, chlorine turns into a gas known as chloroform and is inhaled, getting into the blood stream. This consumption is 50 times more dangerous than just drinking chlorine.

A shower filter is also good because it removes water-soluble heavy metals that are also harmful to the body. Therefore, with a shower filter you have clean, harmless water.

Since people are becoming more aware of the dangers caused by chlorine in showers, these filters are gaining popularity. Showers free of chlorine and metals leave people feeling more fresh and safe.

Owning a chlorine-free shower filter will help reduce damage to hair and skin. They can also remove bad odors and decrease the amount of mold and fungi build-up in the shower.

This type of shower filter works as a Catalytic Converter. It transforms chlorine into chloride, which is harmless. This chemical reaction is known as "Reduction-Oxidation" or Redox. Chloride cannot get into the skin because it's too large to enter the pores. It also doesn't evaporate like chlorine.

It's good that more people are thinking about chlorine, not only in their drinking water but also in their shower water. This chemical can cause harmful effects and it's important to do everything you can to avoid exposure to this toxin.
