Shower Filters… To Buy Or Not To Purchase?
Are there reasons for you or anyone to install shower filters? Filters are used on your faucet for drinking water, but why should people put them in their shower? It is imperative for your drinking water faucet and your shower to have a filter. While filters on faucets remove chemicals that can cause physiological damage to our bodies when we drink them, shower filters remove chemicals that cause drying effects on your skin and hair and also keep you from inhaling harmful chemicals during your steamy, hot shower.
In just one short shower, one may not realize how many dangerous chemicals and how much chlorine is taken into the body. When the hot water produces steam vapor that has the chemicals in the water, you inhale up to 50% more chlorine and other VOC’s (volatile organic compounds, such as chlorofluorocarbons, pesticides and chloroform) than if you drank two liters of water containing the chemicals. Hair and skin can become very dry and course from chemicals in your shower water; with a hot shower your body actually opens pores in the skin allowing the absorption of VOCs.
So what is the process? Can filters aid us with these toxins and prevent future damage to the skin and our lungs? The use of a filter will remove out chemicals containing kinetic degradation fluxion, and ion binding copper media. When water goes through the filter it gets rid of toxins and metals by generating a galvanic reaction combining zinc ions and chlorine, shaping a non harmful chemical called zinc chloride. KDF assists with the elimination of other dangerous metals such as; lead, copper and mercury.
Cost of a filter for your shower depends on its value and if it has multiple functions. Cheaper filters containing only KDF, allowing for the elimination of chlorine in your water. If you want to get rid of all chemicals in your water, you must buy a filter that has both KDF and carbon. Paying a little more at the checkout can get you a better filter for a little bit more money. Filled with revitalizing materials, shower filters make your hair and skin improved.
You should change your shower filter at least one time a year. However if you have more than one showering and there is a lot of residue in your water, you may want to think about changing the shower filter more often. By putting in a shower filter, your body will look and feel healthier. By eliminating the dangerous chemicals in your water you can prevent these unsafe toxins from damaging your hair and skin, and worse entering your body. Depending on how much you are going to spend on a shower filter will depend on what abilities it will have; many types of filters are sold to meet the needs of the consumer. Happy shopping!
