Chlorine in Water

Many people are aware of the importance of removing chlorine from drinking water. Few know that removing it from bathing water is even more important. In fact, the Europeans refused to compete in the Olympic pool in Los Angeles during the 1984 Olympics until the chlorine was removed and an alternate purification method was installed. Ozonation, being the method of choice in this instance.

Every time you step into a hot, steamy shower, the pores of your skin open to the sensation of heat and water. Your body acts as a giant sponge and absorbs chlorine and other contaminants present in municipal water supplies. Likewise, the water vapor and mist created by the hot shower water is inhaled through both your mouth and nose, depositing any toxins present in your water along your entire respiratory system.
