Shower Filtration

Shower Water Filter: For A Cleaner Clean

Did you know that two of the largest organs in your body is your skin and your lungs? If you were to stretch out your skin or the inside of your lungs, it would cover a vast area (and you'd be extremely uncomfortable). Both of these organs, like all of the other organs in your body, absorb elements (liquid, in the case of your skin, and vapor, in the case of your lungs). Here's why this is a problem.

When you take a shower, and you are not using a shower water filter , your skin and your lungs are absorbing the hot water and steam that you are reveling in. Unfortunately, that hot water and steam contains chemicals – particularly chlorine – which is extremely harmful to you. Prolonged exposure to chlorine can be fatal. A shower water filter , and a bath water filter, will each chlorine and other chemicals from leaving your faucet and entering your skin or lungs.

A shower water filter means health

Showering without a shower water filter probably seems fine but it is extremely dangerous. You may not notice any ill effects now, but in the future we believe that chlorine will be one of those chemicals that humankind will look back on and say "if only we knew then what we know now". There is, after all, a reason that chlorine is part of the harsh cleansing chemical chlorine bleach. Excess amounts of chlorine, when combined with water, becomes hydrochloric acid. And, it was used as a chemical weapon in 2007 in Iraq.

A shower water filter, therefore, is a safe way to enjoy showers today and to prolong your health, and the health of your family for years to come. Simply by replacing your regular shower head with a shower water filter head , and by replacing your bath faucet with a bath water filter, you can dramatically reduce the amount of chlorine entering your body.

Don’t forget that a shower water filter is just part of a much larger picture. Your entire household should be fitted out with filtration systems to ensure that chlorine and other harsh chemicals (either already present in the water table or added later by your municipality) do not pass through any taps and into your cooking or drinking water. It's your health on the line! But the steps to health are easy;

Step 1. Get a shower water filter and a bath water filter

Step 2. Equip your kitchen faucets with their own filtration system

Step 3. Invest in a pitcher that filters water, as well.

Step 4. Inspect and maintain your system regularly.

Home Water Filter: A Must Have For Every Residence

Home Water Filter: A Must Have For Every Residence

You arrive home after a hard day at work. You're hot, you're tired, and you're thirsty. First things first: you grab a glass from the cupboard, turn on the tap and feel the glass change temperature as the cold liquid fills the glass. You put the glass to your lips and gulp the cold poison down.

Yes, you read that correctly: poison. It won't kill you in a day or a week or even a month, but water that does not come from a home water filter is increasingly becoming toxic to our bodies. That's because the fragile ecosystem isn't a closed loop and the poison we put into the air and earth end up in our water. What's more, many municipalities add chemicals to the water to make it safe to drink but which, in the long run, can contribute to diseases such as osteoporosis or even cancer.

A home water filter is your best solution

If you own a house, water filter systems should be present. If not, make it a priority investment. A home water filter system, when correctly installed and consistently maintained, can deliver clean and healthy water from your taps to your glass and ultimately to your body. You'll enjoy healthier living now and in the future. Home water filter systems are available in a variety of applications

Among the most common is the pitcher-style house water filter where you pour water into the top of the pitcher and wait while clean, fresh, filtered H20 enters the container. While this is the most common and a great start, it only filters water you manually pour into the top.

Another popular style is the faucet home water filter model, which is affixed to your taps and filters all water as it comes out. This is an extremely popular model and ensures that the water you drink and cook with is filtered.

But the kitchen isn't the only place where you want pure water in your house. Water filter systems are available for the bathroom, as well where brushing your teeth or using the shower could expose you to unfiltered water.

Water seems like one of earth's unlimited resources. There is so much of it; it seems to be replenished with every rainfall, and the oceans are vast. But among the earth's waters there is only a limited amount that is actually drinkable and that amount is quickly diminishing as humankind poisons itself. A home water filter is an investment that can help to prolong your own health and return cleaner water to the environment.
