The New Wave Enviro premium shower filter effectively removes chlorine and hydrogen sulfide, reduces heavy metals and softens water. It also removes odors and dirt particles and helps control bacteria, mold and mildew in bathrooms.

 

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency states, “Every household in America on a chlorinated water system has a highly elevated level of chloroform gas in their indoor air. This elevated level is directly attributable to showering, washing dishes, washing clothes, and flushing toilets with chlorinated water.” Also, The International Agency for Research on Cancer has determined that chloroform is possibly carcinogenic to humans.

 

Removing chlorine from everyday showers brings many health and beauty benefits. It helps battle skin issues such as psoriasis and eczema and eases the effects of pulmonary diseases such as asthma, because there are no toxic fumes. Hair is less brittle, color is more vibrant and the life of hair color treatments is extended.

 

Chlorine kills bacteria both good and bad, including beneficial bacteria in the intestinal tract. Because probiotics add good bacteria to the intestinal tract, ingesting or inhaling chlorine negates the benefits of probiotics.

 

According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Division of Toxicology, in Atlanta, chloroform can enter the body by breathing air, eating food or drinking water that contains chloroform. It even enters the body through the skin during a bath or shower in water containing chloroform.
