Wellness shower filters are one of the most popular brands, but they are also one of the most expensive. You may be happy to hear that you can find chlorine removing shower filters that cost a whole lot less and do the same job. We did some research and some comp-shopping for you. Here's what we learned.

First, you should know that scientific research has confirmed that chlorine removing shower filters are better for your health. That's why Wellness Shower filters chose the name. You may already know that showering in filtered water is better for you skin and hair, but according to Rutgers University, "we take in about the same amount of harmful chemicals from showering as we do from drinking water."

Some experts say that we take in more, because not only are the chemicals absorbed through our skin, but they are vaporized in the shower, so we inhale them, too. Chlorine vapors, for example, trigger asthma attacks. The swimming pool industry has known it for years.

Researchers believe that showering in chlorinated water is a factor in several types of cancer, including rectal and breast cancer. There are over 2000 chemicals in tap water that are classified as possible, probable or known carcinogens (cancer causing agents). That fact was brought to our attention by Ralph Nader and Consumer's Digest.

Consumer's Digest has rated a couple of chlorine removing shower filters, but the Wellness shower filters have not been rated. At a cost of $249.00 initially and $189 for replacement cartridges, they are the most expensive models on the market.

Wellness shower filters are effective, unlike some models which simply do not have enough filter media to perform well or as claimed. You probably know that you cannot always believe the sales pitches. Many manufacturers make exaggerated claims about their chlorine removing shower filters.

You should make sure that you are dealing with a reputable company and that they have documentation to support their claims. Chlorine removing shower filters are relatively new and the industry is largely unregulated. If you're not sure, don't buy it.

At a cost of $95, Jonathan Beauty Water costs less and does a better job at reducing lead and copper than Wellness shower filters. Plus, Wellness shower filters reduce the flow rate more than Jonathon. Shower Wise, on the other hand costs around $89, costs more per month to use than Jonathon and does not reduce VOCs, THMs, lead or copper.

In fact, the Shower Wise chlorine removing shower filters only reduce the amount of chlorine in your water by about 50%. You want at least a 90% reduction in chlorine; else it's probably not worth the investment.

So, Jonathan sounds pretty good, but there is one brand that is even better. At a cost of $67.99 initially and $7 per month, our favorite chlorine removing shower filters block 90% of the chlorine, VOCs and THMs and 70% of the lead and copper. Here's a clue, Wellness shower filters are not our favorites.
