Breathe Easier, Bathe Better: Explore the Benefits of Active Carbon Bathing Filters

Taking a Bath: Are Disinfectants and Contaminants a Threat?

Municipal water treatment relies on chlorine or chloramines to eliminate germs. While effective, some residual disinfectants may linger in shower water. Here's a closer look at potential concerns and how filtration can help:

Possible downsides of chlorinated shower water:

Skin and Hair Issues:

Some people experience dry skin or hair loss after showering, potentially linked to chlorine exposure.

Potential Health Effects:

Studies suggest a correlation between chlorinated byproducts and certain health risks, although more research is needed.

Beyond Chlorine: Other Water Contaminants:

Municipal water may contain trace amounts of lead, arsenic, and other impurities. While generally within safe limits, filtration can provide an extra layer of protection. This is especially true for babies, and people with sensitive skin, or who are facing the problem of hair loss and hairfall.

Benefits of Activated Carbon Filtration:

Reduces Chlorine and its Byproducts:

Activated carbon filters absorb chlorine, potentially improving skin and hair health.

Removes Other Contaminants:

These filters can trap heavy metals, pesticides, and other impurities.

Wide Range of Options:

Both granular and block carbon filters offer effective solutions. Granular activated carbon (GAC) filters remove a variety of chemicals, while block carbon filters offer additional benefits like eliminating channeling and removing larger contaminants.

Why Choose an Active Carbon Bathing Filter?

Improved Bathing Experience:

Enjoy softer, gentler water that may be kinder to your skin and hair.

Peace of Mind:

Filtration can offer an extra layer of protection against potential contaminants.

Baby's Delicate Skin:

Filtered water can be ideal for bathing babies, providing a closer-to-nature bathing experience.

Addressing Specific Concerns:

Breast Cancer:

The link between chlorination byproducts and breast cancer is a subject of ongoing research. While some studies suggest a possible correlation, more evidence is needed to confirm a cause-and-effect relationship.

Sensitive Skin and Hair Loss:

Active carbon bathing filters may help alleviate these issues for some individuals.

Maintaining Your Filter:

Easy Cartridge Replacement:

Most filters require periodic cartridge changes, typically every few months. The process is usually simple and can be done by hand.

Additional Considerations:

Iron Removal:

For water with high iron content, consider the two-stage filter that combines iron removal and activated carbon for optimal results.

Easy Installation and Maintenance:

These active carbon bathing filters are self-installable and require minimal and easy, DIY maintenance.

Downside:

It is easy to get the output of this filter on a bucket, and bathe from the same. To fix it to a shower, you will need a local plumber's help
