A shower filter is pretty much what it sounds like: a filter for your shower water. It makes use of a water filter system to remove chlorine, rust, and other harmful bacteria from water. If you think your shower water doesn’t contain any contaminants, you’ve got it all wrong.
Even if your water tastes and smells fine, it doesn’t mean it’s free from chemicals. Ask yourself this question - Has your skin felt itchy or dry after a shower? Or perhaps, does the so-called ‘refreshing shower’ leave you with an itchy scalp? Chances are that majority of you experience these things but brush it off as a one-time thing - only, it’s not.
A shower filter ensures that the unfiltered water receives adequate treatment before it comes gushing out of your showerhead. The methods or technologies to remove these chemicals differ and so do their effectiveness. KDF filters, activated carbon filters, and vitamin C filters are the most common shower filters in the market.
Not using a shower filter allows chlorine, chloramine, and THMs present in shower water to directly make contact with your skin and hair. If you filter your water to avoid drinking contaminated water, then why should your skin and hair soak in the same?
Here are 5 Reasons Why You Should Use A Shower Filter
Improve skin and hair health: Chlorine and other chemicals in unfiltered water can dry out and irritate your skin and hair, leading to dryness, flakiness, and frizz. A shower filter can help remove these chemicals, leaving your skin and hair feeling softer and healthier.
Reduced chlorine exposure: Chlorine is a strong disinfectant that is often added to municipal water supplies to kill bacteria and other contaminants. While it is effective at killing germs, it can also be harmful to humans if ingested or inhaled in large amounts. Using a shower filter can help reduce your exposure to chlorine, which can be especially important for people with sensitive skin or respiratory issues.
Enhanced water pressure: Some shower filters can also help to improve water pressure, allowing for a more powerful and enjoyable shower experience.
Longer lasting hair color: Chlorine and other chemicals in unfiltered water can strip away hair color, causing it to fade more quickly. A shower filter can help protect your hair color, allowing it to last longer. The chemicals in unfiltered water can also strip away the natural oils that keep your skin and hair healthy. A shower filter can help preserve these oils, maintaining the natural moisture balance of your skin and hair.
Cost savings: Using a shower filter can save you money in the long run by protecting your skin, hair, and bathroom fixtures from damage caused by chlorine and other chemicals. It can also help extend the life of your hair color, potentially saving you money on regular color treatments.
