The Aquasana Shower Filter features a unique 'up-flow design' which prevents media channeling, clogging and/or decreased water pressure.

Showering in warm or hot water opens the pores of the skin and allows a high rate of absorption of chlorine and other chemicals into the body. Not only do we absorb these chemicals through the pour of our skin but also through the steam we breathe in during showering. In fact, the steam we inhale while showering can contain up to 20 x the level of chlorine and other synthetic chemicals than tap water. This is because these toxic chemicals found in tap water vaporize at lower temperatures and at a much faster rate than water. It is this toxic combination of both inhalation and skin exposure that has such a negative impact on our body. A report by the American Journal of Public Health found that "up to 2/3 of the harmful exposure [to chlorine] was due to skin absorption and inhalation while showering".

Chlorine dries the skin out and sunsequently causes sebaceous glands to overproduce sebum (oil) which can clog pores and cause breakouts and acne causing bacteria. This "drying out" of the skin can cause irritation, redness and sensitivity resulting in or inflaming psoriasis or eczema. By reducing the skin's exposure to chlorine and chemicals, you skin will be more moisturised and less irritated.

Inhalation of chlorine and chemical vapors is known to be a strong irritant to the tissues in our lungs and is suspected to be a leading cause of asthma and bronchitis.

When chemicals are inhaled into our lungs, they enter directly into our bloodstream and the adverse effects are magnified, compared to ingested chemicals which are partially filtered out by the liver and kidneys.
