Remodel My Bathroom

Did you know that the water which is typically supplied by your local water company can over time cause damage to your hair as well as making your skin dry and flaky, which may in the end lead to premature aging of your skin. As you well imagine that many people are in the same boat as you and did not know this and probably do not use a shower filter in their home.

A shower filter can not only remove chlorine but can also help reduce the amount of soap scum that you produce whilst showering along with reducing and in some cases eliminating unpleasant odours which are caused by bacteria or minerals in the water supply. A shower filter can also provide you with a more balanced PH level to the water when you are washing and soaping. This is particularly important as many of the chemicals now found in water supplies can be absorbed directly into the body through the skin.

The best thing about a good quality shower filter is that it typically converts approximately 95% of the chlorine found in it into a harmless compound. What carbon filtration systems do is that they simply collect and hold the chlorine which is vital but not desirable, additionally a shower filter will last a family of 4 for about 12 months and it also depends upon your families bathing habits.

However, what is important is that the shower filter will accommodate a wide range of shower heads and they should be self contained and require no maintenance other than to be replaced annually. The best time to change them is on daylight savings time as it is an easy way for you to remember when to change the cartridge each year.

You may even decide to look at using a 2 stage filtration system for your shower filter , generally stage one removes chlorine, sediment and turbidity from the water whilst stage 2 will remove lead, synthetic chemicals and waterborne parasites. Whilst this kind of system is more costly they do provide you with a greater deal of protection than that offer by the single stage systems.

So if you want to protect your family from needless exposure to harmful chemicals it may be wise to invest in and install a good quality shower filter.
