Water filters remove unwanted minerals, chemicals, and other particles from your plumbing system. Although many people use filtration equipment for their drinking supply, the contaminants should be removed from bathing water, too. To understand the importance of filtration in showers, below are a few ways it can improve your hair and skin. 

What Are the Benefits of Water Filters in Home Showers?

Prevent Skin Irritation

The water that flows through your shower heads could contain chlorine. The chemical is used as a disinfectant to remove viruses, bacteria, and other harmful pathogens from the supply. The chemical also absorbs moisture, leaving skin dry and dehydrated with flaky patches. The lack of moisture can exacerbate symptoms of eczema and other skin issues. Those with hypersensitivity could also experience itching and rashes. Filters will remove chlorine to prevent skin irritation and extreme dryness. 

Keep Hair Clean & Luminous

The chlorine extracts natural oils, leaving strands dry, frizzy, and brittle. The minerals can also make it difficult to get shampoo to lather or to wash out residue, leaving hair feeling gritty. Putting water filters on shower heads will help hair retain moisture and allow shampoos and conditioners to work better.      

Slow the Aging Process

Using a water filter can help ward off the development of wrinkles. When showering, heat causes pores to open and absorb chlorine. The chemical triggers the release of harmful gases that damage tissue and cause fine lines in the skin. Filtering out chlorine from your bathing supply will help you maintain a youthful appearance for longer.
