I
confess that not being a shower person myself (people
from the UK often prefer baths), I have often looked
askance at the real benefit of shower filters in shower
heads. Do they really provide a benefit? I was not sure,
although I did know that statistically some people each
year die of chlorine asphyxiation in their shower.
I was finally convinced when someone on
our staff who has been testing out a shower filter at
home for six months remarked, "Boy, those shower
filters really do make a difference!" I was
curious, how did she know?
"My shower water now really smells.
Time to buy a new
filter!" Turns out she had got used to the
feel and smell of filtered shower water coming from
her shower head, and now the filter had worn out she
could tell the difference. Even made a difference with
washing her hair. OK I am now convinced! My husband
is now getting a new shower filter. From $39.99
