Scientists have proven that free chlorine in tap water will attack skin and hair protein. This is especially true when you have a hot shower. Itchy, dry, flaky skin and dry, brittle hair with split ends are commonplace in areas with high free chlorine levels. It is just as logical to remove the chlorine from our showers and baths as it is to remove it from our drinking water. Some authorities feel that because our skin is our largest organ we can absorb more chlorine from one shower than from drinking the same amount of water in one day. If you have eczema or dermatitis you can benefit greatly by reducing the itch that chlorine produces after your shower. Your Shower or Bath Filter not only removes most of the chlorine present but it also saves water and energy as well. The Shower Filter can effectively remove 99% of chlorine in hot water, for about 12 months for the average family.
