If you enjoy soaking yourself in a hot bath now and then, think about the water that into which you submerge; picture it in your mind. Can you say for sure that it's clean? What's in it anyway? Could there
be harmful chemicals, or even pathogens or even other unwelcome microorganisms?
For one, fluoride can be found in many people's bathwater. Fluoride, over time, can affect the activity of your thyroid gland and weaken your bones, thus, making them more vulnerable to breaks. And when chlorine is put into your water supply to clean it, it can form chloroform which, in turn, can cause all kinds of health problems over a long period of time. The health effects include damage to the liver, chronic fatigue, and even reproductive problems. Chlorination can also produce trihalomethanes on occasion. These are compounds that have been demonstrated to cause cancer in animals. And chlorine itself is not all that healthy. At times, it can cause allergic reactions or irritate your skin and your eyes; and not to mention it sucks a lot of the moisture out of your hair and skin making them much drier and more brittle. It may even be a carcinogen itself. Rub-a-dub-dub! Imagine you taking a bath in that kind of water.
Bath water filters can eliminate these harmful chemicals and replace them with cleaner and more nutrient-rich water that will improve your health and make you feel better when you wrap your towel around yourself. They can help make bath time safe again, for you and your rubber ducky.
