Back
If you suffer from eczema or sensitive dry skin, you will be all too familiar with the effect chlorine and other chemicals can have on your skin.
Most of us know how our skin and hair feel after a dip in a swimming pool where the pH balance is not right or too much chlorine has been added.
How chlorine can affect our health
Chlorine has been used in our water as a highly effective disinfectant for decades.
However, exposure to chlorine may harm our health and cause:-
- Respiratory problems (blocked nose, sore throat and breathing problems, including asthma and bronchitis)
- Dry or brittle hair and sometimes turning blonde hair green!
- Dry skin, dandruff, irritation, itching and rashes
- Eye irritations
How chlorine enters our body
We consume chlorine through tap water and also absorb chlorine through our hair and skin when we shower or take a bath.
Did you know we absorb more chlorine (and other contaminants) into our bodies when we take a warm bath or shower as our pores open, and we inhale steam, than we do from drinking a glass of water?
A simple Shower Filter is the answer
The good news is that chlorine is one of the easiest substances to remove from water and a simple shower or bath filter does the job perfectly.
Most shower water filters simply screw into your existing shower between the shower head and hose and will give you up to 6 to 12 months of chlorine-free bathing.
Water2water’s range of Shower and Bath Water Filters remove up to 99% of contaminants including chlorine, dirt, iron oxide and unwanted chemicals from your water supply.
Gentle on skin and hair
Portable shower filters also balance the pH value of bathing water and make skin and hair feel softer and you may also find you need to use less shampoo and conditioner.
Perfect for baby skin
Using a shower filter protects delicate baby and children’s skin from the drying and sometimes irritating effects of chlorine in your water supply and makes bath time a pleasure.
Great for travelling
Shower filters are small and light enough to take with you when you visit friends and relatives or go on holiday.
Their universal fittings mean they screw easily into most shower heads to provide peace of mind and a gentle showering experience wherever you are.
