Mostly unknown is that your body/skin ingest approximately between 3 – 5 cups of water any time you take shower and respectively the chlorine in water as chemicals can damage and dry your skin and hair, and may give off an unpleasant odor. Many water filtration systems for homes filter out chlorine and reduce the harmful affects to your hair and skin but they does not protect your house water system from sediment and mineral build up especially if the filter is meant to filtrate only chlorine.
