If you have ever spent long periods of time in a swimming pool,How Can a Chlorine Shower Filter Protect the Health of Your Family?  Articles you are probably familiar with how chlorine can sometimes change the color of your hair or make it feel and look dank and lifeless. Now imagine subjecting your hair and the rest of your body to chlorine every day. That is actually what you are most likely doing in reality if you are not using a chlorine shower filter.

Chlorine is added to water supply systems because of its ability to destroy or render inactive some harmful microorganisms. The bad news is that chlorine itself can lead to health problems. Having it in your drinking water at home is inadvisable, so is having it in the water you use for bathing or showering.

This is because chlorine and its by-products in the water are absorbed by your skin's pores, especially when you are taking a long, hot shower or bath. Hot showers can also turn chlorine into gas, which you then cannot help but inhale.

This is bad because studies show that regular exposure to chlorine can result in health problems such as respiratory disorders, nausea, and headaches. It can also contribute to hair and skin dryness. It's bad enough for adults inadvertently putting themselves at risk for these. It becomes even worse if you have small children or infants in the house, exposing them to the same risks too.

A high-quality chlorine shower filter uses filtration technology that ensures chlorine removal, but without affecting the beneficial elements in the water that your skin and hair need. You get only clean and healthy water that poses no danger to your health no matter how long you stay in the shower.
