How Water Softeners and Filters Can Help Prevent Skin Conditions

A dependable and efficient way to reduce exposure to harmful chemicals, pollutants, and minerals in tap water is by investing in a water filtration system and a water softener. You may enjoy filtered water wherever in your house, including in the shower, with a whole-house water filter.

Chlorine and other skin-harming chemicals and pollutants may typically be removed from water by a whole-house filter using a variety of screening techniques and technologies. The system can aid in the prevention and treatment of skin conditions by eliminating chlorine from your body, enabling your body’s natural healing processes to function properly.

To deal with hard water, you’ll need to adopt a different strategy. Salt-based water softeners and salt-free water softeners are your two main options for removing hardness minerals from your water. Although there are some distinctions between the two varieties, both can greatly lessen water hardness so that your skin will once again be smoother and healthier.

However, if you want both the benefits of water softening and a whole-house filter, you might prefer the simplicity of a dual water filter softener system. In this hybrid configuration, the water first flows through the whole-house water filtration system to get rid of undesired chemicals, pollutants, and impurities, and then it passes through the water softener to get rid of hardness minerals, producing clean, filtered, softened water.

It is simple to place the blame on a new food item you recently added to your diet or a certain skin product you recently started using if you have a skin condition or have skin irritations after taking a shower or bath. However, something in your tap water can be to blame for those bothersome skin issues. Hard water contains hardness minerals that can also be harmful to the skin, while unfiltered water often contains chemicals and toxins that can have various negative effects on the skin. Fortunately, installing a water softener, a whole-house water filter system, or a combination unit with both can help prevent and treat eczema and other common skin disorders.
