What Does Chlorine in Tap Water Do to Your Skin and Hair?

Protect your family and your home with better-quality water from every tap, every day.

Chlorine is commonly used to disinfect tap water and protect public water supplies. While it plays an important role in keeping water safe, many people find it causes dryness, irritation, and discomfort — especially when showering.

Chlorine exposure can strip natural oils from your skin and hair, leaving your hair feeling rough and your skin feeling tight or itchy. This is often worse for children and people with sensitive skin.

A whole house water filtration system can help reduce chlorine before it reaches your shower, making your water feel softer and more comfortable for everyday use.
