This show aired a couple months back but a new installment will be on the Dr. Oz show tomorrow.
Here Dr. Oz talks a little bit about how shower water filters are super important to remove chlorine and other contaminants. He is fine with these little filters as shown in the video. While these will remove chlorine and work for a while, they need to be replaced often. And for most people this is a pain in the neck. People are too busy to be buying filters every 3 to 6 months. They just don’t do it and therefore the filters aren’t effective after a while. The replacement of filters tends to get costly over a long period of time. A better option for solving your water quality issues is the whole house filtration and conditioning system.
I totally advocate using chlorine shower filters. My family has been using them since 2006. I absolutely love taking a fresh clean shower especially without the stench of chlorine. I only have to replace my filters once per year.
For those people who live in apartments, and cannot apply a whole house filtration system, just keep a calendar handy that indicates when the next filter replacement is scheduled to make sure filters are purchased in time.
