subject: Benefits Of A Shower Filter [print this page] Installing a shower filter takes a little work but its benefits can go a very long way. When people think of filters they often just think of filtering the water in their sinks for drinking water or cooking and cleaning. But adding a filter to your shower is a smart move and with just one filter your whole family can start reaping the benefits.
Many do not realize that the regular tap water they bathe in is just as bad for them on the outside as it is in the inside. They may swear by never drinking tap water, but it can still be damaging to a person's skin and hair. This kind of water is called "hard water"; when it comes to showers and baths it can have several negative effects. As far as a person's skin is concerned, it can create dryness, cracking, and peeling. This is especially true for people who might have a sensitivity to the chemicals or chlorine found in the water. Skin damage not only feels terrible but it makes you look older and can cause other more long term skin issues.
If it does that to skin, think about what it can do to your hair. A shower filter is important because it keeps hard water from damaging hair. Hard water strips hair of its natural oils, causing breakage, a dry texture, and flatness. It can make hair stringy and hard to style. And when you try to brush your dry hair, you'll break even more strands and be left with plenty of split ends. Chlorine and other contaminants can also affect a person's breathing. If someone has asthma or weak lungs in general it can be bad to inhale these chemicals while in a shower. It may not cause a reaction immediately, but day after day of exposure can cause some serious breathing problems. A shower filter helps to eliminate all of these issues. You'll find that if you are having any of the previously mentioned problems, that in just a week or two, they'll start to clear. Your skin will look better, feel softer, and won't need moisturizer constantly applied to it. You'll find your hair feels softer and is easier to style and your breathing will greatly improve. Not only that, but showering in "soft" water just feels great each and every time. There will be a noticeable difference in your showering experience.
