			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody">
<p>Bathing is an integral part of human life and it is an activity which is entangled with the very mode of human existence. It is the means by which it is possible for every individual to keep oneself clean and maintain proper hygiene. Bathrooms are separate zones available in every house or apartment which is dedicated to this ritual of bathing and at present all modern bathrooms are provided with the facility of taking a bath with the aid of showers. Showers are the commonest modes used for bathing in the contemporary world and showers are devices through which the water is ejected in the form of a spray to reach the different parts of the body. Showers may contain warm or cold water and taking a bath in a shower is usually accompanied by the usage of soaps, shampoos or shower gels which are used along with water to keep the external part of the body clean and free of infections and ailments.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>It is interesting to note that there are various historical evidences that prove the usage of showers in ancient times. Prominent examples include the murals and vases belonging to the Greek civilizations. It is also necessary to point out that in the contemporary world, the act of bathing in a bathtub has been greatly replaced by the practice of showering as a form of bathing. One of the reasons that have contributed to this may be because modern day apartments always have space crunch and under such conditions the shower is a better and efficient arrangement compared to a bathtub which may occupy larger area. Showers are not only used for bathing and rinsing the body but also for leisure and wellness. Moreover, for the elderly people and also for those who suffer from physical disabilities, showering for bath is an easier option. Showering involves the pouring of water in different parts of the body. This is followed by the usage of various supplements like shower gels and shampoos to remove the dirt and then again shower the body to complete the bathing procedure.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Showers may be of various kinds. Some showers are attached to the bathtub while free standing showers are very common. Usually, each bathroom has a separate zone dedicated to showers and it is separated from the rest of the bathroom by means of a shower curtain. The shower head contains various nozzles through which the water ours out in the form of a spray in the different parts of the body.</p>

<p>Is tap water safe for bathing and showering is an increasingly common question as more of us realize the contamination in our supplies may not only affect us when we drink it. So just how safe is taking a shower these days?</p>
<p>Unfortunately not that safe anymore as we have literally thousands of toxic chemicals in the water like chlorine, weedkiller, lead and prescription drugs with samples of pesticides showing up across the country.</p>
<p>When you take a 20 minute shower you can absorb more toxins than by drinking 2 liters of unfiltered water as the chlorine is converted into chloroform in the vapour.</p>
<p>The American Journal of Public Health links chlorine to &#8220;significant increases in certain types of cancer, asthma and skin irritations&#8230;&#8221; and stated that &#8220;up to two-thirds of the harmful exposure was due to skin absorption and inhalation of chlorine in shower water&#8221;.</p>
<p>So in answer to the question, is tap water safe for bathing and showering, the honest answer is no.</p>
<p>Removing chlorine and other volatile chemicals with a quality shower filter offers great health benefits, if a whole house filter is too much. As the situation looks likely to get worse, some kind of home filter is fast becoming necessary.</p>
<p>The sad fact that our tap water is not safe for bathing and showering anymore shows just how bad things have become and children are especially vulnerable with studies showing that each year in the US, lead in drinking water contributes to 480,000 cases of learning disorders in children.</p>
<p>Some companies do make high quality shower filters as well as the regular countertop or whole house system to protect all your water. These offer the perfect solution and you will not only feel healthier but notice differences within weeks like softer hair and skin.</p>
<p>With the risk so great and the solution so simple, why take the chance?</p>
<p>Then the question of, is tap water safe for bathing and showering will not affect you as you will have the peace of mind of knowing it is safe and pure.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody">
<p>There are no two ways about it. That tap water is not safe for drinking, is a known fact now. But is tap water safe for bathing and showering? If you are not drinking the water, can it still cause harm to your health? Let’s find out.</p>
<p><strong>Is tap water safe for bathing and showering?</strong> <br />To know the answer to this question, first let’s quickly go through the contaminants that you can find in tap water.</p>
<p>The biggest contaminant in our water is a chemical added in it to make it safe for drinking! This chemical is <strong>chlorine</strong> and is used as a disinfectant to kill the bacteria in the water. It is pretty effective too while the water lies in the reservoirs of the water company.</p>
<p>But what happens when this water passes through the old, rusted pipes of the distribution network? These pipes are themselves loaded with all kinds of bacteria and other germs and contaminate the water again.</p>
<p>When you shower in this water, you are directly exposed to all these harmful microbes. The heavy metals present in the water do not pose a risk as long as you are just using the water for showering and not drinking it without filtering.</p>
<p>But the chemicals like chlorine are still a threat to your health. These chemicals evaporate while you bath and then you ingest their vapors unknowingly.</p>
<p>Any other chemicals present in the water like pesticides and herbicides can also add to the cocktail of vaporous chemicals that you are inhaling while showering and can cause serious health problems.</p>
<p><strong>So, what’s the solution?</strong> <br />There are two ways you can handle this risk.</p>
<p><strong>One</strong> – You setup a <strong>shower filter</strong> that purifies the water while you bathe. This is a pretty effective and quick to way to purify the water supply in your bathroom. Of course, you would already have a separate water purifier in your kitchen to purify your drinking water too – Doesn’t make sense to bathe in clean water and then turn around and drink contaminated water.</p>
<p><strong>Two</strong> &#8211; Instead of opting for separate filters for your bathroom and kitchen, you opt for a <strong>whole house water filter</strong>. This type of purifier is installed at the point where your house is connected to the water supply, and purifies the water at its entry point only.</p>
<p>The obvious advantage of this setup is – you do not need to buy separate filters for each bathroom and the kitchen. Just one filter to take care of them all is enough.</p>
<p>So, is tap water safe for bathing and showering? No. But you can make it safe by filtering it first. Go now and find out a good filter for your home.</p>

<p>The biggest contaminant in our water is a chemical added in it to make it safe for drinking! This chemical is <strong>chlorine</strong> and is used as a disinfectant to kill the bacteria in the water. It is pretty effective too while the water lies in the reservoirs of the water company.</p>
<p>But what happens when this water passes through the old, rusted pipes of the distribution network? These pipes are themselves loaded with all kinds of bacteria and other germs and contaminate the water again.</p>
<p>When you shower in this water, you are directly exposed to all these harmful microbes. The heavy metals present in the water do not pose a risk as long as you are just using the water for showering and not drinking it without filtering.</p>
<p>But the chemicals like chlorine are still a threat to your health. These chemicals evaporate while you bath and then you ingest their vapors unknowingly.</p>
<p>Any other chemicals present in the water like pesticides and herbicides can also add to the cocktail of vaporous chemicals that you are inhaling while showering and can cause serious health problems.</p>
<p><strong>So, what’s the solution?</strong> <br />There are two ways you can handle this risk.</p>
<p><strong>One</strong> – You setup a <strong>shower filter</strong> that purifies the water while you bathe. This is a pretty effective and quick to way to purify the water supply in your bathroom. Of course, you would already have a separate water purifier in your kitchen to purify your drinking water too – Doesn’t make sense to bathe in clean water and then turn around and drink contaminated water.</p>
<p><strong>Two</strong> &#8211; Instead of opting for separate filters for your bathroom and kitchen, you opt for a <strong>whole house water filter</strong>. This type of purifier is installed at the point where your house is connected to the water supply, and purifies the water at its entry point only.</p>
<p>The obvious advantage of this setup is – you do not need to buy separate filters for each bathroom and the kitchen. Just one filter to take care of them all is enough.</p>
<p>So, is tap water safe for bathing and showering? No. But you can make it safe by filtering it first. Go now and find out a good filter for your home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Any TV viewer has seen advertisements for some sort of transdermal patch. Normally that patch contains a medication. The person who wears that patch receives a slow and steady administration of that medication. Yet the TV viewers who are familiar with such ads seldom think to ask this question: &#8220;Is tap water safe for bathing and showering?&#8221;</p>
<p>Few people ask that question, although few people pass-up the chance to enjoy a hot shower. During a hot shower, the pores in the skin allow into the body any chemicals that might hit the skin. If the water from the tap contains any harmful chemicals, then those chemicals can enter the body while some human takes a hot shower.</p>
<p>The above paragraph highlights the reason that every homeowner should ask this question: &#8220;Is tap water safe for bathing and showering?&#8221; After all, even some of the chemicals that are meant to make water safe to drink can damage the body, if they enter the body through the pores of the skin.</p>
<p>Exposure to chlorine, for example, can cause cancer. The time that most humans spend in a bath of shower allows a generous amount of chlorine to enter the body. In fact, the body can get more chlorine through the skin than it can by having chlorinated water sent down the esophagus.</p>
<p>Moreover, chlorine represents only one of the thousands of chemicals that are in the typical sample of tap water. A showerhead or bathtub faucet allows water with at least 2,100 different chemicals into the tub or shower stall, if it has not been equipped with a suitable filter</p>
<p>In addition, a hot shower causes the formation of huge amounts of water vapor. That vapor contains all of the chemicals that are in the water that passes through the faucet or showerhead. If that water contains chemicals that have gone undetected in a municipal treatment plant, then the person who steps from the bath or shower inhales those same chemicals.</p>
<p>When chemicals are inhaled, they pass immediately from the air sac into the blood stream. The inhalation of chemicals poses a greater danger than the drinking of water that contains those same chemicals. That fact illustrates the significance of the question &#8220;Is tap water safe for bathing and showering?&#8221;</p>
<p>This question, &#8220;Is tap water safe for bathing and showering?&#8221; calls attention to a less than obvious reason for purchasing a water filter. Too often, a homeowner simply buys a filter for the kitchen faucet. Too often, a homeowner thinks only about the water that residents and guests are apt to drink. Too few homeowners ever find it necessary to ponder this question: &#8220;Is tap water safe for bathing and showering?&#8221;</p>
<p>Once a homeowner has realized the importance of that question, then that homeowner appreciates the value of a well-designed filter on a showerhead or a bathtub faucet. If a homeowner should chose to purchase such a filter, then that homeowner ought to consider buying an activated carbon filter</p>
<p>When used in combination with ion exchange filtration and micron filtration, the activated carbon filter does the most effective job of removing unwanted chemicals from the water in a home plumbing system. That combination of filters creates water that is both safe to drink, and also safe enough to stream into a shower stall, or to flow into a bath tub.</p>

<p>Is tap water safe for bathing and showering?</p>
<p>A lot of people never ask the question. It&#8217;s a great question just the same. While most of us are concerned about the quality of our drinking water, many of us take a shower in tap water every day without giving it a thought.</p>
<p>But two things happen when you shower:</p>
<p>&#8211; You run warm water all over your yourself, opening up the pores of your skin. That water penetrates into the skin and is absorbed.</p>
<p>&#8211; You inhale the mist of the shower water, along with the chlorine used in tap water from all municipal water supplies. You also inhale the trihalomethanes (THMs), a group of four nasty chemicals that are byproducts of chlorine use. Chlorine and all four THMs are carcinogens.</p>
<p>Pure water is very beneficial and hydrates the skin. Chlorinated water, however, tends to do the opposite: it dries out the skin. </p>
<p>And you may well inhale more chlorine in shower water than you ingest by drinking it. That chlorine goes to your lungs, which are extremely sensitive to the harsh, inflammatory effects of chlorine and THMs.</p>
<p>If your skin is dry, or you have any skin disorder, it&#8217;s especially important that you bathe in pure water.</p>
<p>Small children are especially sensitive to impurities in drinking water. Asthma and bronchitis are growing problems, and chlorine is known to aggravate both conditions.</p>
<p>Finally, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that the dangerous chemicals called Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are present in one-fifth of the nation&#8217;s water supplies. </p>
<p>Here are some of the commonly detected VOCs you could be inhaling in the shower: </p>
<p>&#8211; Benzene, from gasoline spills;</p>
<p>&#8211; Methylene chloride, an industrial solvent; </p>
<p>&#8211; Trichloroethylene, used in septic system cleaners; </p>
<p>&#8211; &#8220;Perc,&#8221; the abbreviation for the foul-smelling stuff used in drycleaning.</p>
<p>So is tap water safe for bathing and showering?</p>
<p>Many of us don&#8217;t think so. </p>
<p>That&#8217;s probably why shower filters are growing rapidly in popularity. A good shower water filter will effectively remove chlorine, its THM byproducts, and VOCs as well.</p>
<p>The most effective shower filters will typically use a two-stage filter process that takes out chlorine and balances the pH in one step and filters out harmful VOCs and THMs in a second stage.</p>
<p>For more specifics and recommendations, see my website.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When was the last time you thought about this?  If the answer is never or it has been awhile, you may be endangering yourself and, most importantly, your family.  So you need to inform yourself on the topic.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re wondering is tap water safe for bathing and showering, you&#8217;re not alone. Scientists have looked at the question and revisited it. There are specific health problems that are associated with it and many that are aggravated by it. Here&#8217;s what you need to know about taking a bath in chlorinated water.</p>
<p>Thousands of other chemicals are found in publicly treated water-supplies, due to industrial spills, farm run-off and other sources. Treatment facilities do what they can to reduce those contaminants, but after all is said and done they add the one with the most potential to do harm after other purification processes are done.</p>
<p>Chlorine is added by the majority of treatment facilities throughout the world to kill pathogens (bacteria, viruses, etc) and to control algae-growth in the pipelines. Chlorine is toxic to the nervous system, but it does an effective job at killing bacteria and clearing cloudiness. When boiling is not possible, adding unscented household chlorine bleach is recommended for emergency situations, in which drinking water has been contaminated.</p>
<p>Many years ago, scientists wondered is tap water safe for bathing and showering. At that time, they said that at levels present in publicly treated supplies, chlorine exposure during the shower is only hazardous to people that are allergic to it. Chlorine filters for the showerhead were originally developed for people that have chlorine allergies.</p>
<p>As time went by, hairdressers began to recommend them for their clients with dry hair and particularly for models. If models did not have a showerhead filter, they were told to wash their hair in bottled spring-water, before an important shoot.</p>
<p>Eventually, dermatologists wondered is tap water safe for bathing and showering, especially for their patients that had dry skin, eczema or psoriasis. It is a harsh chemical and people with skin conditions are particularly sensitive to it. Now, many dermatologists recommend a showerhead filter for all of their patients.</p>
<p>Finally, scientists revisited the question, because the original studies were not conducted using hot water. If you&#8217;re wondering is tap water safe for bathing and showering for anyone, the answer is no. When the water is heated, cancer-causing chemicals are released and we inhale them. They are absorbed through your skin and enter the bloodstream by two separate routes. They are known as THMs and they are actually byproducts of chlorine. Scientists originally believed that the only risk of exposure was from drinking, but now, they know better.</p>
<p>The increased incidence of cancer among people with chlorinated water was originally thought to be due to chlorine, itself. When, in fact, it is actually the byproducts produced when chlorine interacts with bacteria that are the problems. THM exposure greatly increases a person&#8217;s risk of developing cancer at some point in his or her life.</p>
<p>Most showerhead filters on the market remove chlorine, but do nothing to reduce THM content. Read the performance data carefully, before you buy a product. It&#8217;s the only way to be sure that you are actually protected.</p>
<p>Your goal?  To start utilizing this information your have just learned.  If you buy an effective product, you will not have to wonder is <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pure-safe-clean-water.com/" target="_new">tap water safe</a> for bathing and showering. You&#8217;ll know that you and your family are protected and safe.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody">
<p>Even people that seem to understand that our water is not sanitary enough to be drinking can sometimes be heard to ask is tap water safe for bathing and showering?  The primary reason that it is not is because of the chlorine that is present, along with the THMs that the chlorine disinfection process produces.</p>
<p>The biggest danger that comes from taking a bath in chlorinated water is that the chemical will be absorbed by your skin.  Now if you like to spend time taking long luxurious baths then this could become a problem because the longer that you are sitting in the bath the more chlorine that your body will absorb.</p>
<p>When people ask me is tap water safe for bathing and showering I always point out that one of the most unhealthy things that you can do is sit in a tub of chlorinated water for an hour or more.  Medical professionals have stated that spending a lot of time swimming in chlorinated water greatly increased your risk of developing cancer.</p>
<p>The reason that I bring that up is that the maximum amount of chlorine that is legally allowable in a swimming pool is three parts per million, while in your drinking and bath water the allowable limit is four parts per million.  This means that the amount of chlorine typically found in your water at home is enough to shut down a public pool.</p>
<p>Is tap water safe for bathing and showering if you don’t spend an inordinate amount of time in the water?  For a bath I would say that it was “safer”, but for a shower there is really no safe amount of time.  If you are in the shower long enough for the water to produce steam then it is not safe for you to be in there.</p>
<p>Once steam has been produced you have to realize that what you are then breathing in is primarily chlorine.  Chlorine vaporizes at a far faster rate than water does, and chlorine inhaled into the lungs goes almost immediately into the bloodstream.  You take in about 6,000 times more chlorine this way than if you were to drink water all day.</p>
<p>When someone asks is tap water safe for bathing and showering I always make sure to tell them that there is really no safe contact that we can have with chlorine because it is this very chemical that many scientists and medical professionals pinpoint as the number one cause for the incredible increase in cancer over the last century.</p>
<p>What I tend to advise people to do if they want to keep their families safe is to either invest in both high quality water filters and showerhead filters.  Some showerhead filters even have removable wands so that filling up the bathtub is a breeze.  You might even opt to simply get a whole house filter to remove all doubt.</p>
<p>Is tap water safe for bathing and showering?  You are most welcome to do your own research.  For me, the answer is no, it is absolutely not safe I’m afraid.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody">
<p>I don&#8217;t know a thing about you, but I&#8217;ll bet that you&#8217;ve heard the stories about water contamination by drinking, but is tap water safe for bathing and showering? Find out the truth here, and not the hype our suppliers give us.</p>
<p>Studies have revealed that we have over 2100 toxic chemicals coming out of our faucets, including herbicides, pesticides, chlorine and prescription drugs! Not a pretty mixture I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll agree.</p>
<p>So is tap water safe for bathing and showering as opposed to the contamination we get by drinking it? No is the straight answer.</p>
<p>The American Journal of Public Health confirms that up to two-thirds of the harmful effects of chlorine are due to inhalation and skin absorption while showering. When we shower or bathe, the pores in our skin open up and absorb the steam.</p>
<p>When chemicals like chlorine are vaporized, they are over 20 times more concentrated than in water, and so our exposure is even higher.</p>
<p>Bear in mind also that researchers at Rutgers University confirm that we take in the same amount of chloroform (vaporized chlorine) from a 10 minute shower as we would if we drank over 2 liters of water.</p>
<p>Why should we be exposed to this and other people&#8217;s medications? The treatment plants use outdated techniques and just add tons of chlorine to disinfect, but the new phenomenon of pharmaceuticals getting into our supply is too much for them to cope with. And it&#8217;s getting worse.</p>
<p>Is tap water safe for bathing and showering when we filter it would give a more acceptable answer. And some companies even do specific shower filters which are great if you don&#8217;t want to invest in a whole house system to purify all of your water.</p>
