No More Chlorine: RainShow’r Dechlorinator
Thursday, March 26th, 2009
This ASOG blogger feels better knowing that her shower water is filtered with one of the Rainshow’r Dechlorinators we carry. In fact, it gets rid of 90% of the chlorine pouring through a showerhead.
What’s the fuss about chlorine? Most municipal water, including ours, has chlorine to act as a disinfectant, something that’s ruled out a lot of disease over the years. However, the by-products of chlorine could have some health risks, including cancer, as well. And since many of us are filtering it from our tap water, absorbing it through our skin and inhaling it into our lungs in a warm shower isn’t too enticing either.
According to Rainshow’r, “chlorine… attacks your hair, skin, and lungs… and can leave your hair dry and brittle and make your skin flaky and itchy. It can also trigger negative reactions in children, the elderly, and people with chlorine-sensitivity.”
I know from my time spent in chlorine-heavy pools that this particular disinfectant is not for me. And I can attest that now my hair and skin are softer and less dried out with my filter.
Come check out the Rainshow’r dechlorinator specially chosen by our in house sustainability coach for your safety (and your future softer, silkier hair).
Plus, you can easily use it with a low-flow showerhead to save water while you suds up in your efforts to reduce your use and green even your shower time.

Clean, Chlorine-Free Showers
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008
For the last day of April and the end of our water theme, we wanted to share with you how you can have a cleaner, healthier shower year round.
Easy to install Rainshow’r filters dechlorinate the water drizzling overhead for safer showers. They remove 90% of any chlorine present and unlike many filters, don’t use carbon to do the job. Here’s how they work:
Chlorine is often added to city water supplies as a disinfectant, and if you don’t want to drink it, you probably don’t want to absorb it through your skin and lungs in a shower either. Other benefits? Since using my Rainshow’r filter, my skin and hair feel much softer and less dried out: an added bonus.
These can easily be refilled with replacement filters (we carry those, too) and are compatible with low-flow showerheads–an absolute must!
We’ve also got Rainshow’r crystal ball bath dechlorinators, which are perfect for protecting kids during baths. You just drop one in the tub at bathtime, and it lasts a whole year before you need to replace the filter pouch inside.
