Shower Filters Reduce the Chlorine in Your Life

When we take a dip in the pool or the sea, we shower immediately to wash away the chemicals and salts. A simple and wise precaution indeed. But most of us do not realize that the tap water in our homes contains far more chemicals than the water in swimming pools. Chlorine is a chemical that we are daily exposed to, without the knowledge of its health hazards. It is the leading cause of breast cancer, kidney diseases and aggravates asthma and other lung infections. Using a Aquasana filtration system will eliminate chlorine exposure and it’s ill effects to a large extent.

Chlorine is the most widely used disinfectant. It vaporizes faster than water molecules, which means that when you take a steam shower, most of the steam that you are inhaling is chlorine. Since it isn’t going through the digestive process, it is absorbed into the blood stream much faster. It is also a known fact that we absorb more chlorine through our skin, than we do by actual consumption.  So imagine how much a simple AQ-4105 shower filter can do to your health, without you even realizing it. It is definitely a simple health investment that pays off in the long run.
