My New Bath Water Filter

 Ok, so are you thinking I’m crazy because I’ve got a filter on my bath faucet?  Well, maybe you won’t after reading this.  You see, just as the lotion and other body products you put on your body need to be safe, so does your bath water.  Because, yep, your skin is soaking it up, just like anything else you put on your body.

According to Dr. Mercola, here’s what’s in your tap water:

Tap water – High in disinfection byproducts (DBPs), chloroform, and fluoride. Chloroform and other DBPs are formed when chlorine is added to water. This is the most common form of water disinfection in the U.S. Unfortunately, chloroform can cause cancer, potential reproductive damage, birth defects, dizziness, fatigue, headache, liver and kidney damage.

Another byproduct of water chlorination is trihalomethanes (THMs), which are Cancer Group B carcinogens, meaning they’ve been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals. They’ve also been linked to reproductive problems in both animals and humans.

Fluoride is another serious danger silently lurking in most people’s tap water. Fluoride alters your endocrine function, especially in your thyroid, increases your risk of bone fractures, and can lower IQ.

Filtering the water in your home (including the water in your shower) with a reverse osmosis filter is your best option here.

So, after reading that, I guess you can understand why I want a bath water filter!  If that didn’t convince you, then please look at these articles or videos as well.

Just as soon as we can, we will be installing a whole house Reverse Osmosis water filter so that we aren’t exposed to unfiltered tap water in our own home anymore.  In the mean time, I love that my Bath Ball will last me 1 year and that I can buy replacement filters for it.  And, Johnny is also using his shower head water filter. I hope you found this information helpful!
