It also is the ONLY Shower Filter which includes Crystalline Quartz Technology in its media for an energized shower experience. Helps to protect the environment with its water and energy conserving shower head. This allows for an increase in sudsing and lathering of soaps and shampoos. Chlorine , commonly used in public water systems, is easily absorbed into our pores when we shower.
Chlorine can cause, and worsens, skin irritations and rashes.
Chloramine is produced when a municipality injects both chlorine and ammonia simultaneously into the water supply. This is done to reduce free chlorine's ability to combine with organic matter in the water thereby producing potentially harmful trihalomethanes, or THMs. Because Chloramine has less disinfecting ability than free chlorine, a higher concentration of chlorine is usually used to get the same bacteria kill rate. Some shower filter dealers and distributors are claiming that their shower filter removes Chloramine , Leads and Heavy Metals and other specific contaminants. Always ask for a copy of the test results if they make removal claims other than Chlorine.
