Most people think of drinking when it comes to water filters. But the water we shower with every day also has a significant impact on our health – especially on our skin and hair.

Chlorine in shower water – an underestimated problem

Tap water in Germany is disinfected with chlorine. This is necessary to kill germs – but it comes at a price: chlorine attacks the natural protective layer of skin and hair. Who hasn't experienced this at the swimming pool? Dry skin, brittle hair – exactly what happens during daily showering, only more slowly and less noticeably.

Shower steam: 20 times concentrated pollutants

The steam during showering is particularly problematic. Chemicals such as chlorine and synthetic compounds evaporate even at low temperatures – faster than water itself. This means that the steam you inhale when showering can contain up to 20 times higher concentration of these substances than the tap water itself. When chemicals are absorbed through the lungs, they enter the bloodstream directly.

What unfiltered shower water does to skin and hair

The effects of chlorine and other pollutants in shower water are diverse:

• Dry, irritated skin – especially with sensitive skin or skin prone to neurodermatitis
• Brittle, breakage-prone hair
• Faster fading of colored hair
• Absorption of THM, VOC, pesticides and drug residues through skin and respiratory tract

The solution: Aquasana® shower filter with two-phase filtration

The Aquasana® Shower Filter AQ-4100 was specially developed to solve these problems. It works with a patented two-phase filter process:

• Phase 1 – KDF-55D (copper-zinc mineral): Removes chlorine and naturally and effectively improves the pH balance of the water.
• Phase 2 – Coconut shell activated carbon: Filters synthetic chemicals, THM, VOC, herbicides, pesticides and drug residues that can be absorbed through the skin or respiratory tract.

The result: Soft, clean shower water – noticeably softer skin and hair after just one week.
