Adding a whole house water filter gives you better benefits than an individual shower filter. A whole house filter gives you the most convenient and suitable way to reduce harmful exposure of chlorine and other chemicals. And because you only need one filter, it's a whole lot easier than installing a filter on every shower.
Taking a shower in water carrying chlorine and other harmful chemicals can affect health problems such as asthma and bronchitis. According to the results of a study by the Occupational Lung Diseases Unit at the Birmingham Heartlands Hospital "nitrogen trichloride (produced by Chlorine) is a cause of occupational asthma in indoor swimming pool workers like lifeguards and swim instructors."
The problem isn't chlorine, but what chlorine turns into when combined with organics such as sweat, dander, urine and other organics. Chlorine reacts with the organics and produces nitrogen trichloride, aldehydes, halogenated hydrocarbons, chloroform, trihalomethanes and chloramines.
Removing chlorine from the water results in better air quality throughout the house, helps your skin feel softer, healthier, and younger looking as filtered water reduces the presence of skin rashes and the look of wrinkles. Even your hair becomes softer and healthier because the hair is able to preserve its natural moisturizing oils when chlorine is removed from showering water.

CDC Recommends reducing Fluoride in Drinking Water
There has been a growing concern among scientists and the public about the safety of the levels of fluoride in our drinking water . On Jaunary 7th, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a report that admits 2 in 5 children in America show signs of fluoride poisoning (streaking, spotting or pitting of teeth due to dental fluorosis). The agencies agreed that fluoride levels need to be lowered in municipal water supplies by reducing fluoride to 0.7 milligrams per liter (the previous recommended upper limit was 1.2 milligrams per liter).
In 2006, at EPA’s request, the National Academies of Science (NAS) reviewed new data on fluoride and issued a report recommending that the EPA update its health and exposure assessments to take into account bone and dental effects and to consider all sources of fluoride. In addition to EPA’s new assessments and the NAS report, HHS also considered current levels of tooth decay and dental fluorosis and fluid consumption across the United States.
