Anyone who has ever swam in chlorinated water for an extended period of time knows the damaging effects of chlorine on skin and hair. Chlorine can leave skin feeling dry and itchy and leave hair dry, brittle, and prone to dandruff. It can cause or further aggravate rashes and other skin irritations and it leaves eyes feeling sore and itchy. Fortunately, most people do not swim very often and thus are free, for the most part, from the destructive nature of chlorine, right? Wrong. The fact is that most municipal water systems contain chlorine, and, depending on the presence of contaminants in the water, levels of chlorine can be quite high.

The use of chlorine in water systems began in the late 19th century as a way to combat diseases like cholera and typhoid, a task at which it was quite effective. As the levels of such diseases began to drop, municipal water systems began a veritable love affair with chlorine and inserted more and more of into the water.

Chlorine is a powerful combatant against many parasites and disease-causing pathogens because of its harsh nature. Chlorine, though, is also a poison. Just as its harshness attacks pathogens and parasites, it attacks delicate body tissues when breathed or absorbed through the skin.

Most people recognize the effect of chlorine on the taste and health of drinking and cooking water, but what about the water they bathe in everyday? Chlorine is present in this water, as well, and can cause the same damaging problems to skin and hair as the chlorinated water in swimming pools. When showering, the heat of the water causes pores to expand and these enlarged pores absorb chlorine instantly. Of course, costly cosmetic products are available to counteract the effects of chlorine on skin and hair, but wouldn't it be so much easier and cost-effective to just bathe in cleaner water and prevent these problems in the first place?

The same technology used to filter contaminants and chemicals out of drinking water can be used to filter chlorine and other harmful chemicals out of bathing water. Shower filters promise great cosmetic benefits by providing clean, pure water in which to bathe. Showering in filtered water leaves you with soft, luxurious skin and stronger, healthier hair. Using a shower filter also cuts back on the cost of lotions, moisturizers, and hair products.

By eliminating chlorine from the bathing experience, a shower filter can reduce fading of color-treated hair, making dyes last longer and decreasing the need for expensive visits to the hair salon.

Besides the damaging effects on skin and hair, chlorine can cause health problems when inhaled. Inhaling shower water also allows exposure to volatile organic chemicals (VOCs). Combined with chlorine, these chemicals can be incredibly dangerous to the delicate tissues in the lungs. The hot water and confined nature of a shower vaporizes chlorine and VOCs and this chemical vapor is then taken into the lungs. Inhalation of such chemical vapor causes great problems for asthmatics, and it can cause similar lung and sinus problems even for those with healthy respiratory systems.

In fact, inhaling chemical-laced steam during a shower actually provides more exposure to dangerous chemicals than drinking that very same water! Shower filters provide the solution to these health problems. By using a shower filter to eliminate the presence of chlorine and VOCs in bathing water, costly trips to the doctor can be avoided. With its valuable health benefits, showering in filtered water leaves you breathing easier and feeling healthier.

Chlorine can be a dangerous enemy that not only dries and damages skin and hair, but, when combined with VOCs, causes permanent respiratory problems, as well. Because so few people know about the chemicals present in the water they bathe in everyday, these chemicals attack swiftly and anonymously. The power to combat this enemy lies in pure, filtered water, though. Our skin and hair no longer needs to be chlorine's victim, and we can breathe easier knowing our lungs are free from the violent nature of VOCs. Shower filters can be valuable allies in our battle against these chemicals. Just imagine the wonderful, clean feeling of showering in fresh, naturally pure water!

just to let you all know.you can use a cap full of zerochlor in your water tanks at your home.1 litre will last u maybe 1 year if used for your water reserves at your home.



the diffrence in the water that you will shower with is amazing.



of course you still wont drink this water until you have boiled it .



but the feel of the water is so diffrent once treated with a capful of zerochlor.



1 litre is enough for around 80 tons of water. working on 1000 litres as a ton of water

No question, chlorine is a very effective disinfectant. Nevertheless if used inappropriately it can be hazardous. Once added to the water, it is no longer dangerous...Not chlorine but its reaction products with organic compounds in your water. How much organics are in the municipal water system? Depends on its design, purification efficiency, contols etc. Try to ask them about their sampling frequency and what is the typical TOC or BOD content.

When the system is poorly balanced or overchlorinated you get a large variety of chlorinated toxic compounds. One of the least dangerous but most frequent is chloramine (responsible for red eys), then chlorform, carbon tet. They are commonly known as "disinfection by-products" (most of them are proven carcinogens) Again, ask your council representative about total THM content. The number should be lower then 80 ppb. Well, not sure they are aware.

Msg 26,

I asked zerochlor this question about my 12 x 5 pool.

See here: - http://www.cyprus44.com/forums/13313.asp

Yours should be about 20% less, given equal useage / conditions.

Bear in mind the requirement to keep 'PH' and 'Total Alkalinity' within specified limits - just as you do with any other sanitizer, chlorine included.

Havn't seen any posts on here recommending the stuff just plenty of free advertising by the person trying to sell it and yes what you have put on here maybe true but customers want to make up there own minds not be scared into buying a product.

Hi doughnuts40





To change over from chlorine to zerochlor ,cost would be 1 bottle of zerochlor,thats if all your TA and PH is correct in your pool.



1 bottle of zerochlor = £22



if you want your pool sparkling like a diamond we recomend you use a oxodizer. regen.

The email was sent to your website email info@zerochlor on the 22/04/2009 at 18.36. No point in having an email address on your site if it dont work. Just think how much business you have lost. When i dont get an email from my web address i check it but as i have emails every day from it i dont need to check mine to see if its working.

Sienna, I know this might sound completely stupid but an ex girlfriend of mine had the green hair problem and her stylist told her to wash tomato ketchup through her hair for 20 minutes and then rinse it out. I thought she looked bloody ridiculous and was annoyed that she used all my ketchup but it actually bl**dy worked.

Just in case it ever happens again, thought it might be useful.

proger1 - I have heard about this rather bizarre sounding 'cure' before and, as you rightly say, it does work. I do think Sienna was being a bit "tongue in cheek" when she said her "naturally" blonde hair went green when it came into contact with chlorine!!! Point being, I think, is that bleached hair turns green when it comes into contact with chlorine

Should you fart in a pool saturated in chlorine, be concerned.

H2S ammonia resurrection are compounded.

Escape methods are futile. Grin and bear it.

Pinch your nostrils and escape to a diluted atmosphere with speed.

Good luck.

Thanks for all the fone calls and visitors to the shop regarding zerochlor to put in your water tanks.



ok.to save some of you the fone calls.



zerochlor in your water tanks kills the bacteria and also kills the algea.or prevents algea!



also if your away from your home for long periods of time it will keep the water in your tanks in alot better condition.

i hope this explanation helps you and saves you on fone calls
