The filter is removing the chlorine just before it hits you in the shower, hardly time for the safety benefits of chlorine to be negated but it keeps your body from having to absorb it. IOW, this device doesn't increase the risk to the levels of having a totally non-chlorinated water supply as you are suggesting. Tanya, there are LOTS of things that you can't 'drink straight' that are otherwise benign or beneficial in smaller quantities. You can die from drinking too much water! Dose makes the poison.

I don't care what any chemical council or health nut wants to tell me. From my perspective, its simply a matter of common sense-- if I can't drink chlorine straight, I don't want to inhale or absorb it in my shower or drink it in my water. At all. Again, I know we're smart enough to find ways to make our water safe without making it hazardous again. When it comes to my shower, a filter works for me.

The cancer "risk" is highly overstated - the risk you run by bathing in and consuming non-chlorinated water is MUCH higher than utilizing non-chlorinated H20.
