Detailed Product Description

Many people who buy a water filter to treat their drinking water are now beginning to ask about shower filters. They wonder why they need to treat water they won't be drinking. The surprising answer is that far more contaminants are absorbed during showering then by drinking water.

• When showering, hot water opens the pores and chlorine and other contaminants are absorbed through the skin.
• The effectiveness of the nicotine patch is a good example of the effectiveness of transdermal delivery. Contaminants are absorbed through the skin the same way, only they bypass the digestive system and go directly into the blood stream.
• Another area of concern is the inhalation of fumes. In the shower stall, the hot water produces steam in a confined area making it easy to inhale chlorine and other waterborne gases, such as radon.
• Radon is a concern for customers whose water is supplied from underground sources, such as wells. However, it is not a concern for customers' whose water comes from a surface supply, such as lakes, rivers and reservoirs. That's because radon is released into the air before it arrives at the tap.
• When water that contains radon is used in the home for showering, washing dishes and cooking, radon gas escapes from the water into the air. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency bulletin breathing high levels of radon over a period of time is suspected of causing some types of cancer.
• Above and beyond all health considerations, shower filters are helpful beauty aids for customers. Americans spend millions of dollars annually on skin moisturizers, emollients and other products to fight dry skin, and conditioners and other lotions to keep hair from becoming brittle. Shower filters, instead of working like cosmetics to cover up or topically treat skin problems, solve the problem at the source.
• With the removal of chlorine, hydrogen sulfide and other chemicals, dry skin and harsh effects on hair and scalp and the dryness is gone. Customers who dye their hair may find that the color remains true initially and for a longer period of time because of the removal of chlorine, which acts as an oxidizer of the coloring in hair.
