Shower water filters. Now just why would you bother with one. Clearly we need to filter our drinking water so we’re drinking clean water, but why in the world would you filter shower water?

After all, you just wash in it dont you, you dont drink the shower water.

But regardless there are still some very good reasons to use a shower water filter every time you shower. Here’s 4 reasons.

1. Chlorine. Now we all know that you shouldn’t drink chlorine, and that the best water filters filter out chlorine. There’s no doubt that drinking chlorine isn’t good for you and some consider it very likely that drinking chlorine causes cancer.

But chlorine in the shower water is still a problem. Because some of the water that lands on your skin soaks into your skin, and your body. And chlorine goes in with it. So in effect you have the same result as if you had drunk unfiltered water. And hot water opens the pores and allows more chlorine in.

2. And as chlorinated water gets hot the chlorine is released into the atmosphere and you breathe it.
