Hard water minerals cling to hair and skin, creating buildup that clogs pores and weighs hair down. Chlorine strips away natural oils, leaving hair brittle and skin dry, tight, or irritated. And during hot showers, disinfection byproducts (DBPs) evaporate into the steam - meaning you can inhale them. Research suggests long-term exposure to certain DBPs may be linked to health issues, including increased cancer risk.
In short: poor water quality doesn’t just affect your home - it affects your hair, skin, and overall wellbeing.
