A shower head water filter is about the simplest and most surprisingly effective thing you can do to improve your skin, health, and breathing. These advantages derive from the ability of water filters to remove chemicals that seep into tap water through agricultural and industrial runoff. These chemicals are carcinogenic and are known causal agents in degenerative disorders of the nervous system. Since our skin is our largest organ and is highly porous, the idea of inundating the body with water containing these chemicals is enough to make anyone wince.

When choosing between shower head water filters, be sure to choose one that uses activated carbon filtration, because it is the only kind that removes these harmful chemicals. It also filters out chlorine which is added to water at the treatment plant for purification but is not removed prior to reaching your faucet.

Chlorine in and of itself is much more harmful than you might initially think, and is one of the first substances to go when using a carbon shower head water filter. To see just how harmful chlorine is, think about the last time you went swimming and the effect that the water had on you skin, hair, and lungs. The dry skin, the brittle hair, and the tightness in your chest from breathing so much chloroform are all the same effects that occur in the shower without a shower head water filter.

The effects of the chlorinated water are less noticeable only because they are in smaller doses. Even so, their effects build over time, and since most of us bathe more than we swim, without shower head water filters, the cumulative effects of chlorine exposure and absorption are measurably harmful to human health. The EPA has noticed high amounts of chloroform in the air of most households from daily showering, and has warned the public of how unhealthy this is.

Instead of simply installing shower head water filters, many people adjust to the problems brought on by chlorinated water by investing in expensive shampoos and conditioners, asthma medication, and moisturizing lotions. However, it is much more cost effective and healthy to use a shower head water filter which removes not only the chemicals but the need for these extra products. It is always wiser to eliminate problems at their source rather than just treating the symptoms.

Yet another reason to install a shower head water filter is that chemicals like chlorine are responsible not only for skin ailments like dryness, itching, and asthmatic breathing, but they destroy the natural oils in the skin which prevent aging and even sun damage. And these are just the effects we know of directly. The indirect effects of not just chlorine but those substances which result from pesticides and fertilizers, household cleansers and industrial waste, are far more insidious. As they accumulate through skin absorption they have been shown in studies to contribute to the incredible increase that has been observed in industrial countries since the dawn of the modern era.

The best part of having a shower head water filter is that it is inexpensive, easy to install, and easy to maintain. In fact, the filter increases water costs by less than ten cents a gallon, and as for installation and maintenance, if you can unscrew a light bulb, you can handle installing and maintaining shower head water filters.
