New studies have shown some startling facts about the harmful effects of chlorinated tap water on your body.  The American Journal of Epidemiology reported a study suggesting that areas with higher levels of chlorine in drinking water almost doubles the risk of bladder cancer.  The THMs produced by chlorinated water have been found to cause cancer.  People who regularly bathed in chlorinated water had an increased risk of bladder cancer by 83%.  It was found that absorbing chlorine through the skin is more dangerous than drinking tap water because absorption bypasses the liver which filters out some of the harmful contaminants.  It is essential to filter your bathing water as well as your drinking water to fully protect yourself and your family from the harmful effects of chlorine in tap water.

The solution to removing chlorine from bath water is the Splish Splash Bathtub Filter from New Wave Enviro.  Not only will the filter remove the harmful chlorine from water in just minutes, it will give you softer skin and hair.  De-chlorinated water improves lathering and sudsing, maximizing the effectiveness of your favorite bath products.  Splish Splash is also non-toxic and safe for humans and pets and lasts about 200 baths.
