The
dictionary defines chlorine as a "gaseous greenish-yellow
element used as a bleaching and disinfecting agent." As
a disinfectant it kills bacteria. As a bleaching agent it makes
contaminants colourless. In your shower water it is just another
vaporised chemical that may increase your risk of illness and
make you feel like you are showering in swimming pool water.
"The
skin, the body's largest organ, can easily absorb contaminants
found in water which pass through it into the bloodstream."
The experts are just beginning to understand the potential health
hazards from skin absorption of water contaminants.

Chlorine in Your Shower
Chlorine
is universally used to chemically disinfect water. It kills
germs, bacteria and other microorganisms. Chlorine readily passes
through cell walls, and attaches to fatty acids in the cell,
disrupting life-sustaining functions. The human body is composed
of billions of similar cells, which also absorb chlorine.
It
may be necessary to disinfect our tap water with chlorine, but
with today's technology, we do not have to be exposed to it.
The quality of our drinking water can be improved, by filtering
chlorine from the tap water or drinking bottled water. However,
only part of the problem has been addressed.
One
half of our daily chlorine exposure is from showering. Not only
is chlorine absorbed through the skin, but also vaporizes in
the shower, inhaled into the lungs and transferred directly
into the blood system. In fact, chlorine exposure form one shower
is equal to an entire day's amount of drinking the same water.
Therefore, drinking filtered or bottled water addresses only
half the problem. ShowerWise Shower Filters offer the
answer for the complete solution.

How it Works
The
ShowerWise Filter uses a patented new filtering media called
KDF 55. This "golden sand" is made of a special high purity
copper and zinc alloy. It effectively removeschlorine
and other contaminantsincluding:lead,
iron, arsenic, mercury and hydrogen sulphide. The filter
effectively controlsseveral types of
bacteria including algae and fungi. The stainless steel
mesh strainer helps filter outdirt
and sediment.
The
ShowerWise Filter contains more KDF 55 than most other
shower filters. It has 10 to 20 times the life and effectiveness
of any carbon only filter. Unlike carbon filters, the ShowerWise
Filter works best in warm or hot water. Its long life performance
is a breakthrough in shower water treatment technology.

Five Hidden Dangers of your Morning Shower
Chlorine
in Shower Water
U.S.
News & World Report - July 29, 1991 "Is Your Water Safe - The Dangerous State of Your Water"
Chlorine: Added to most municipal water supplies, this
disinfectant hardens arteries, destroys proteins in the body, irritates
skin and sinus conditions, and aggravates asthma, allergies, and respiratory
problems.
Chloroform: This powerful by-product of chlorination causes
excessive free- radical formation (accelerated ageing!), normal
cells to mutate, and cholesterol to oxidize. It's a known carcinogen!
DCA (Dichloro acedic acid): This chlorine by-product alters cholesterol
metabolism and has been shown to cause liver cancer in lab animals.
MX (another chlorinated acid): Another by-product of chlorination, MX is known
to cause genetic mutations that can lead to cancer growth and has been
found in all chlorinated water for which it was tested.
Possible
cause of bladder and rectal cancer: Research has proven that chlorinated water is
the direct cause of 9% of all bladder cancers and 15% of all rectal
cancers in the US.
You
absorb more chlorine in a 10 minute shower than by drinking 8 glasses
of the same water!
Tests
show that your body can absorb more chlorine as a result of a 10 minute
shower than if you drank 8 glasses of the same water. How can that be?
A warm shower opens up your pores, causing your skin to act like a sponge.
As a result, you not only inhale the chlorine vapours, you also absorb
them through the skin.
The chlorine in your shower is a powerful toxin, deadly to bacteria and
fungi, AND poison for your body.
