If you found you have large amounts of chlorine or chloramines in your water you may want to highly consider purchasing a shower purifier. (Note that if you choose to use a whole house filtering system this product is not necessary.) Both of these chemicals are used as disinfecting agents to clean public water systems and also are carcinogens. Simply put they are cancer causing agents. Most us all choose to take a nice hot shower, but what are you breathing while taking that shower? If you have chlorine or chloramines in your water you are breathing harmful vapors. It seems that we are not only drinking toxins, but we are inhaling them as well. These vapors from you shower have been linked to heart disease and cancer. By installing a shower filter you can eliminate these vapors and bathe with peace of mind.
Installation of a shower purifier is simple, 10 minutes or less is all you need. Also the cost is fairly inexpensive with most shower purifiers averaging between $20.00- $50.00. Chlorine is an inorganic substance that chemically bonds to the protein in our hair and skin it can destroy the natural balance. So besides keeping your family safe, your hair and skin will also feel softer and shiner!
