I was looking for a shower filter because of all the contaminants found in the drinking water. I wanted safer water that could also be healthier for my skin, and hair. Here is what I found: NSF® International Certified shower.

NFS certified filters It filters:

Chloramine: a chemical combination of ammonia and chlorine to treat drinking water. Chloramine has been associated with severe respiratory toxicity and skin sensitivity. Read here

PFOA, PFOS, the forever chemicals: They are highly toxic fluorinated chemicals. They build up in our bodies and never break down in the environment. Very small doses of PFAS have been linked to cancer, reproductive and immune system harm, and other diseases. Read here to protect your self from them read here.

Lead

Fluoride 

Heavy Metals and more 

After using these water filters,  you will see the difference in your skin, hair and they will protect your respiratory system from these chemicals during your shower. The water pressure is still great and you can enjoy the many positions for water massage for the water. You will also need less soap.

Chlorine: They chlorinate our water across nearly every water system to disinfect and kill bacteria such as e.coli (definitely don’t want that!), but that chlorine doesn’t need to be there when we shower. Chlorine, along with other contaminants:

  • Strips out the natural oils in our hair & skin, leaving them damaged, dry, and irritated

  • Breaks down the amino acids in our hair, depleting the hair’s natural strength

  • Irritates our skin, leading to eczema, itchiness, hives & rashes

  • Dissolves hair lipids, leaving hair looking less shiny, less strong, and causing split ends

  • Reacts with the natural melanin in our hair, changing the color of your hair

  • Speeds up the loss of collagen as heavy metals cause free radicals to form

Heavy Metals in Shower Filters

Many water filters may add back contaminants and they show the California Proposition 65 Warning

Like in this shower filter below that I used until I found out that has heavy metals in it as shown by the warning.
