Why should I be concerned with filtering my shower water?

Used universally to treat public water supplies, chlorine is present in the untreated water you drink, bath in, etc. When you shower or bathe in chlorinated water, the pores of your skin open up and absorb the chlorinated water like a sponge. Also, chlorine-filled steam enters your lungs. People can actually experience more exposure to chlorine during the average shower than by drinking a whole day’s worth of chlorinated water. Chlorinated shower water causes or worsens skin irritations and rashes, dries the skin, can irritate eyes leaving them red, itchy and burning, and inhaling the steam can aggravate the sinuses and lungs. Using a shower water filter, like one of Sprite's shower head water filters, will remove chlorine from the water you bath in and provide protection from the chemical.
