How to Choose a Shower Water Filter

23:03 Geistiges Heilen 0 Comments

Shower filter benefits are numerous. They are good in chlorine removal, reduction of soap scum, prevention of dry skin and hair and the removal of unpleasant odors. A shower filter also helps balance water ph for better sudsing and cleaning and removing synthetic chemicals in the water that can vaporize and be inhaled or absorbed through the skin.

Even in well water which is unchlorinated, there are advantages in using shower filter in the home. Elimination of chlorine and chemicals from the shower water is as important as the removal of these chemicals in the drinking water.

The reasons for this are the following:

• Chlorine sticks to skin and hair destroying the natural bacterial balance leading to dryness, itching, flaking and premature skin aging.
• Chlorine gas and chlorine byproducts can also be absorbed in the skin.

There are two types of media used for shower filters.

1. Granular - Activated carbon
2. KDF

KDF media using shower purifiers remove free chlorine through an electroxchemical process and are not compromised by high water temperature. Unlike carbon, KDF does not hold chlorine. In fact it changes chlorine from an element into a harmless compound. KDF is also bacteriostatic and does not contribute to fungus and mildew growth within the shower filter.

Thus the Aquasana 2-stage shower filter adds Granular Activated Coconut Carbon filter media to reduce synthetic chemicals in the water. Aquasana's Coconut Granulated Carbon is superior grade of carbon and is most effective in absorbing chemical contaminants. The addition of this coconut based carbon to shower filter increases the ability of the shower filter to provide complete protection and comprehensive contaminant removal.

Most people regard a hot shower or bath is one of life's little pleasures. Little did they know about the danger of chlorine in the water. Although universally used to disinfect water, it is not safe for drinking water, showering or bathing. As a biologist/chemist, Dr. Herbert Schwartz, said, "Chlorine is so dangerous that it should be banned."

Furthermore, one of every two clients coming into salons has chlorine damaged hair. You see a lot of breakage and split hairs. Hair tangles when shampooed become difficult to comb.

Chlorine removing filters purify water, rejuvenate the skin, restore the natural shine of the hair and invigorate the lungs. Sprite shower filters use energy-saver heads and patented KDF media filtration, Chlorgon. Chlorgon is a non-carbon media. It removes more chlorine at a wider range of temperature than any other shower filtration. Thus Sprite shower water filters balance the water's ph. Additionally KDF inhibits the growth of E Coli, mold, bacteria and other impurities. As a result you have a purer and chlorine-free water.

The choice, therefore, is yours.
