Chlorine in bath water

Posted by admin on August 4, 2009

Chlorine is added to water in order to help kill microorganisms and other materials, but when it enters our body, it can also kill some of the healthy bacteria and cause itchy irritated skin.

Most people think chlorine is only in pool water, they don’t realize it’s in most municipal water sources, thus they’re in contact with it every time they shower and/or bathe. Chlorine is powerful in combating against many parasites and disease causing pathogens. While it attacks parasites and the such, it also attacks delicate body tissue when absorbed through the skin or breathed in. When you shower, the heat of the water causes pores to expand and these enlarged pores absorb chlorine instantly.

Chlorine not only dries and damages skin and hair, but it may also cause permanent respiratory problems. Shower and bath filters can help combat the effects of chlorine when you bathe and shower.

Babies and children have smaller bodies (obviously) and are more sensitive than most grown adults. A bath tub filter will help remove the chlorine as the tub is filling for baby/kid bath time.
