Municipal water treatment relies on chlorine or chloramines to eliminate germs. While effective, some residual disinfectants may linger in shower water. Here's a closer look at potential concerns and how filtration can help:
Some people experience dry skin or hair loss after showering, potentially linked to chlorine exposure.
Studies suggest a correlation between chlorinated byproducts and certain health risks, although more research is needed.
Municipal water may contain trace amounts of lead, arsenic, and other impurities. While generally within safe limits, filtration can provide an extra layer of protection. This is especially true for babies, and people with sensitive skin, or who are facing the problem of hair loss and hairfall.
Activated carbon filters absorb chlorine, potentially improving skin and hair health.
These filters can trap heavy metals, pesticides, and other impurities.
Both granular and block carbon filters offer effective solutions. Granular activated carbon (GAC) filters remove a variety of chemicals, while block carbon filters offer additional benefits like eliminating channeling and removing larger contaminants.
Enjoy softer, gentler water that may be kinder to your skin and hair.
Filtration can offer an extra layer of protection against potential contaminants.
Filtered water can be ideal for bathing babies, providing a closer-to-nature bathing experience.
The link between chlorination byproducts and breast cancer is a subject of ongoing research. While some studies suggest a possible correlation, more evidence is needed to confirm a cause-and-effect relationship.
Active carbon bathing filters may help alleviate these issues for some individuals.
Most filters require periodic cartridge changes, typically every few months. The process is usually simple and can be done by hand.
For water with high iron content, consider the two-stage filter that combines iron removal and activated carbon for optimal results.
These active carbon bathing filters are self-installable and require minimal and easy, DIY maintenance.
It is easy to get the output of this filter on a bucket, and bathe from the same. To fix it to a shower, you will need a local plumber's help
