New Wave’s Premium Shower Filter and Splish Splash Bathtub Filter are more popular than ever as consumers become increasingly aware of the health risks associated with chlorine in our water supply.   Chlorine is far from the safest way to disinfect our water, yet because it’s cheap, people continue continue to use it.  It has been discovered that you absorb more chlorine from taking one bath or shower than you do drinking water all day.  Hence the need to purchase a Premium Shower Filter and Splish Splash Bathtub Filter.

Below are a few reasons to purchase bath and shower filters:

-Cancer risk among people bathing in chlorinated water is 93%  higher than those bathing in filtered water.

-Chlorine dries out the skin and hair.

-Warm water opens up the pores of the skin, thus allowing more chlorine to enter the body.

Needless to say, switching from bottled water to home water filtration is one of the quickest, easiest ways to save money and improve the environment. Home water filtration is 1/10^th the cost of bottled, and is far more convenient because it’s straight from the tap. Additionally, it’s virtually pollution free, unlike plastic water bottles that happen to be filling up landfills at an astonishing rate.

But the message that’s most pertinent to your personal health is that water filters simply provide better quality water. It has been estimated that bottled water companies spend hundreds of millions of dollars a week to give customers the perception that their water comes from some natural, untouched mountain spring. Yet because the FDA only requires that bottled water be as good as tap water, many of these companies don’t actually strive to provide filtered, pure water. Filtering out such chemicals as chlorine and lead from your tap water is the best way to know for sure that you’re consuming pure, healthy water.

Many people are unaware of what minimal exposure to chemicals do to their bodies, because modern toxicology usually doesn’t test for what chemicals do at low levels.  However, top researchers from Environmental Health Sciences have affirmed that such endocrine-disrupting chemicals as BPA and Pthalates are, indeed, toxic in low doses.

It has been a popular belief that humans are exposed to various chemicals daily that are only harmful at very high levels.  Yet unlike most chemicals, BPA and Pthalates do not fit this description.  The EPA recently learned of this announcement and has taken initial steps into further examining the detrimental impact of these chemicals in low levels.

We will keep you posted!

The New York Times recently conducted extensive research on the nation’s water pollution records, and concluded that the number of polluters violating the Clean Water Act has steadily risen over the past few years.  A recent test in Charleston, W.Va, revealed the town’s water is contaminated with arsenic, barium, lead, manganese, and other chemicals that are known to cause cancer and damage the kidneys and nervous system.  Additionally, many of the town’s nearby residence have had damage to their teeth and superficial burns as a result of being exposed to the toxic water.

Unfortunately, it’s difficult for individuals to detect traces of chemicals in water, as most of today’s water pollution has no scent or taste.  And with the Clean Water Act having been violated close to 500,000 times, the chance of exposure to American residents is pretty high, especially in major cities.
