The WaterChef SF-7C Water Filter for Showers, Chlorine Reduction, and a Better Experience
For so many, showering is not just a matter of routine but of immensely enjoyable ritual. It is in the bathroom, moreover, that so many of us pursue the rituals associated with skincare, hair care, and general wellness - not to mention the immense enjoyment that accompanies a hot, steamy shower after a long day of work.
It makes little sense, therefore, to work against this ritual by making it less than it can be.
We’re talking about the chlorine that may be present in your water. Here’s what you should know about it and how a water filter for your shower can help.
Why Chlorine Is There in the First Place - and Why It’s a Problem
Chlorine is a chemical added by many municipal water departments for general disinfection. When present in appropriate concentrations, chlorine in city water is a good thing. It kills bacteria, protozoans, and parasites, including the microbes that can cause typhoid, cholera, and giardiasis. Chlorine treatment can also be highly effective at deactivating (killing) viruses.
So, the use of chlorine in municipal water is not unequivocally a bad thing - it’s just that there’s a catch. Once it gets to the point of use, in this case, the shower, the chlorine has done its part and is no longer of any value in the water.
In fact, chlorine in your shower water has decidedly negative effects.
The first has to do with the health of your skin and hair. If chlorine is present in your shower water, your skin and hair will absorb it, and it will strip away essential oils and proteins. Notably, chlorine exposure may strip the skin and hair of sebum, a naturally produced oil that helps nourish and fortify these tissues.
But it doesn’t stop there. Some of the chlorine present in your shower water will be vaporized and inhaled into the lungs, where it can cause a wide range of unpleasant respiratory issues.
Suffice it to say, less chlorine in your shower water is a good thing - and the WaterChef SF-7C water filter for your shower may just be the solution.
What This Water Filter for Showers Does About It
The WaterChef SF-7C water filter for showers is powered by “ThermalGuard” catalytic carbon technology that is specifically designed to drastically reduce chlorine concentrations in water.
Chlorine reduction in shower water is an area in which competitors have specifically struggled, particularly since shower water tends to be hot. Competitors struggle to get past 50% chlorine reduction, but this water filtration system has attained the NSF/ANSI certification from IAPMO R&T and is capable of removing up to 96.6% of chlorine for up to 10,000 gallons, even at higher temperatures.
As a result of this extraordinary catalytic carbon technology, these water filters for showers can help reduce chlorine exposure, thereby reducing skin irritation, dry hair, and potentially even eye and lung irritation. Moreover, by removing most of the chlorine from your shower’s water, you’ll likely end up using less soap, shampoo, and conditioner as well - chlorine reduces the efficacy of all three of these.
Why Else It’s a Great Deal
Not only is the WaterChef SF-7C water filter for showers highly effective at reducing chlorine concentrations, it is also highly affordable.
In contrast to competitors who still rely on outdated KDF filtration media, our ThermalGuard catalytic carbon filtration system boasts increased performance and longevity. With filter cartridges often priced at less than half of our competitors', and typically requiring only 2 replacements per year, users enjoy significantly reduced maintenance expenses. (In other words, our filters outperform the competition while costing less, resulting in an average cost of approximately 7 cents per shower.)
This water filter for your shower is about so much more than just the filter cartridge. These assemblies utilize a high-quality stainless steel hose with interlocking construction and durable metal fittings. This high-quality construction ensures maximum durability and flexibility.
Moreover, they allow for an odor-free showering experience in contrast to other shower hoses that use PVC and vinyl hose liners. Ours are made with high-quality silicone that is odor-free, even at higher temperatures.
On top of that, these water filters for showers are:
