Although the water supplied to homes goes through a purification process at treatment plants, it can become recontaminated on its way to your faucet or shower. Common causes include:

  1. – Added to disinfect water, but in high amounts it can cause skin and hair dryness, unpleasant odor, and eye irritation.
  2. – Originates from aging pipes, especially in older buildings and infrastructure, and can affect the color, taste, and smell of the water.
  3. – Can enter through damaged pipes or poorly sealed water systems, leaving particles that settle on skin and hair.
  4. – Such as lead and copper, often leaching from old pipes, which can be harmful to health over time.
  5. – Can develop in stagnant or poorly maintained water systems, especially in water heaters.

What This Can Cause

  • – Chlorine and hard minerals strip away the skin’s natural protective barrier.
  • – Minerals, chlorine, and heavy metals damage the hair structure, leading to split ends and color fading.
  • – Especially for those with sensitive skin, eczema, or psoriasis.
  • – Continuous exposure to heavy metals and biological contaminants can affect the immune system, liver, and kidneys.
  • – Caused by chlorine residue, rust, or organic contamination.

Daily Impact in the Shower

  • – Skin becomes dry, itchy, and irritated, while hair loses shine and elasticity.
  • – Sensitive skin issues may worsen.
  • – The water feels and smells less pleasant, reducing the overall shower experience.
