Why should you or anyone else want a shower filters? Filters are used on your faucet for drinking water, but why would people put them in their shower? Having a shower filter is equally important to having a filter for your drinking water. While filters on faucets remove chemicals that are often the cause of physiological damage to our bodies when we drink them, shower filters remove chemicals that cause drying effects on your skin and hair and also keep you from inhaling harmful chemicals during your steamy, hot shower.
Many people do not know just how much chlorine and other chemicals that you breathe during just a quick 10 minute shower. Turning your shower past a certan temperature, the mist created can cause the chemicals that your body takes in 50% more chlorinated, not to mention all the VOCs associated with it; pesticides, chloroform etc.. that you may as well consume a half gallon of water. During a warm shower, the pores of your skin open up which results in the absorption of VOC’s and chlorine, the chemical responsible for the drying effect on skin and hair.
So what happens? How do filters keep harmful chemicals from being inhaled or affecting the skin? By using a filter, you get rid of chemicals that are in KDF (kinetic degradation fluxion), which is a condition where harmful chemicals are formed by ion binding copper media. Toxins can be taken out of the water as it goes by the filter, eliminating bad chemicals such as zinc ions and chlorine and modifying them to a safer chemical; this method is known as a galvanic reaction, a combination of chlorine and zinc ions which form zinc chloride. KDF helps with the elimination of other harmful metals such as; lead, copper and mercury. Search the water solutions on net to get idea what to buy.
If you buy a shower filter with its only feature being a KDF it will cost less than if you get one that has KDF and carbon. KDF containing filters are the least costly, they only have the ability to take out chlorine. A filter with both KDF and carbon must be obtained to remove other chemicals in addition to chlorine. If you are willing to pay the price, you can also get filters with more features. You can revive your skin and hair with these filters because they have attraction and stimulating materials in them.
If you buy a filter, keep in mind that they have to be changed once a year. Your shower filter may have to be changed a couple times a year, especially if there is high traffic to the shower or if your water has a large amount of deposit. By putting in a shower filter, your body will look and feel healthier. By eliminating the dangerous chemicals in your water you can prevent these unsafe toxins from damaging your hair and skin, and worse entering your body. Depending on how much you are willing to spend on a showerhead filter will depend on what abilities it will possess; many types of filters are sold to meet the needs of the consumer. Happy searching!
