The smell of chlorine is both reassuring and soothing when it’s present at the community pool. Chlorination helps keep germs and bacteria at bay, and you never know where your neighbors and acquaintances have been before taking a dip. Chlorine doesn’t retain the same charm when pouring through your shower head at home, however. Besides lending its unpleasant, permeating odor to the water, chlorine can be detrimental to styled hairdos.
While you always have the option of showering after swimming in the pool – allowing you to rid your body of chemicals immediately – that option doesn’t exist at home. Luckily, a shower head filter can weed out 75 percent of chlorine immediately, restoring most of your water’s natural purity. Harmful chemicals and unpleasant odors just come along with the territory when you’ve got city water; it takes a concerted effort to cut chlorine and hydrogen sulfide off at the pass.
