Easily & Affordably Green and Clean Your Shower & Bath Water

Skin is our largest organ yet it's one of the most neglected. If your water is not purified you are absorbing toxins through your skin every time you shower & bathe. Chlorine can leave your hair dry and brittle, make your skin flaky and itchy and can cause acne. It also causes scale and discoloration to tubs and showers. Have a healthier shower, get softer, clearer skin and great hair by simply using a water filter.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

No special tools or professional help is required

Step 1

Shower Filter

FOR YOUR SHOWER: Install a low flow shower head with a point-of-use shower filter. Multi-Pure shower filters are recommended, they reduce 90% or more of chlorine from water.
Step 2

Replacement Filter

Replace your shower filter every 6-12 months (depending on your consumption), if your water pressure lessens it's probably time to be replaced.
Step 3

Reduce

Reduce your water consumption by taking shorter showers.
Step 4

Bath Filter

FOR YOUR BATH: A Multi-Pure Bath Ball is recommended to remove Chlorine, it's good for up to 200 baths or one year.
Step 5

Bath Tea

Remember to always dechlorinate your bath before adding organic bubble bath, oils, salts, etc.
Step 6

You're on your way to a healthier, younger looking you!

Turn off the water while washing and conditioning your hair and shaving.
