Depending on the region that you live in, your house may receive hard or soft water. The frequent use of hard water, which contains high levels of calcium and other minerals, can be associated with an increased risk of atopic dermatitis, skin irritations, dryness, and hair damages. One very popular way of making hard water soft is the use of shower filters that have bioactive mineral balls that filter the water and remove impurities, acting as a water softener and an ionic filter.
They have high pressure, which may help you save water, and are very easy to install at home. Also, water with negative ions is associated with decreased blood pressure, relaxation, more energy, and focus, improvement of sleep cycles, reduced oil secretion on the skin, and cell renewal.
The difference will be visible if you live in a hard water area and are noting excessive dryness and irritations on your skin. A shower filter may be the solution for you. This affects adults but can be especially harmful to babies, as their skin is more delicate. Even pets can suffer from hard water damage, so it might be a great investment for the whole family.
If you live in a region, where water is naturally soft, a shower filter can improve your shower experience. Although the health improvements might not be visible, it can still feel better during your routine. Depending on the model you choose, more extra features are available such as different shower modes and the possibility to add other substances to the water, like Vitamin C.
