Better Shower Or Bath
A shower or bath seems refreshing and invigorating, but if you do it in raw impure tap water, you are probably being exposed to a level of toxic pollutants that can have a negative impact on your health.
You don't want toxins in your shower or bath any more than you'd want to drink them. Why not have a safe, pure shower or bath?
Harmful chemicals present in your unpurified water can be readily absorbed by the skin, and the volatile ones can easily become inhalable vapors as the warm water spray forms steam. Day after day these toxify your body and harm your lungs.
An effective shower filter or shower purifier will get rid of chlorine and/or chloramines. If lead, bacteria, algae, and mildew are problems these should be taken care of as well.
A pure shower or bath is just as important as pure water to drink. A shower unit can also be used to fill the bath tub with pure water, if needed.

Chlorine Problems
Virtually all cities use chlorine or chloramine to reduce bacteria and algae in their water. Many wells are also chlorinated. Chlorine is antiseptic, but also a serious poison, which over the years has killed millions early.
Chlorine in our water is a major contributor to the leading deadly health problems -- circulatory disease and cancer. Chlorine forms free radicals which damage tissue, especially the vulnerable arteries and the heart. Not only are circulatory tissues effected, but any tissue under stress is more susceptible to deterioration and possible cancer.
When chlorine combines with natural organic matter from leaves, humus & soil in the source water, trihalomethanes (THM's) are formed. These are more toxic than chlorine alone. The most harmful THM is chloroform, a known carcinogen which causes liver & kidney damage and depression of the central nervous system.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), THM's are present in all chlorinated water supplies in the U.S. EPA scientist, Lance Wallace states, "Showering is suspected as the primary cause of elevated levels of chloroform in nearly every home in America, because of the chlorine in the water."
A normal adult taking a 15 minute shower or bath would be exposed to up to twice as much of a volatile chemical as from drinking two quarts of the same raw water. Neither should be done!
More and more cities are now using chloramine, a compound of chlorine and ammonia, to disinfect the water. When diluted, it is more stable and longer lasting than chlorine, although not as effective against microbes. It is also a toxic irritant to humans.
Either chlorine or chloramine in the shower is terrible for the sinuses, lungs, skin and hair. When these toxins are taken further into the body, internal organs and tissues are harmed.
A study by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering, published in the American Journal of Public Health, found that 29 to 46 percent of water pollutant contamination in children, and 50 to 70 percent in adults, occurs through the skin, depending on the chemical and its concentration.
Get Rid Of Chlorine and Other Toxins Now!
The solution is to use an effective shower purifier (which can also be used to fill the bath tub).
Recent research has established that Vitamin C is a highly effective agent for eliminating chlorine AND chloramines from water.
KDF is another popular purifying media made of copper & zinc. It will eliminate chlorine, and also heavy metals like lead, mercury and iron, even in hot water (which ruins carbon). Beyond that KDF takes care of bacteria, algae and mildew, keeping the shower and/or tub cleaner.
Further, KDF reduces smelly sulfur, and it conditions water, making it kinder to the skin & hair, which stay softer.
However, KDF is not very effective on chloramines. (Vitamin C will take care of that completely.)
Enjoy softer skin and hair and eliminate the burning eyes, itching skin and allergies caused by showering with chlorinated water.
Eliminating chlorine with Vitamin C or KDF helps to prevent rashes, dryness, and other skin problems; hair loss; lung irritation from chlorine byproducts; and more.
The conditioned water leaves hair more manageable. Less soap or shampoo is required. Perms and hair color treatments last longer.
Another media sometimes used for treating water for showering and bathing is activated carbon, but it has a very short life, especially in hot water.
Sulfur based compounds, including calcium sulfite and sodium sulfite, are also used. We do not need more sulfites added to our water cycle; and these have toxifying qualities of their own.
