Hello everyone! I need some guidance concerning our bathing water. My boyfriend,

Danny, has synovial sarcoma. We use Culligan for our drinking and cooking water

because our home has a deep well. The well water is treated with both chlorine

and salt. I know that I can remove the chlorine with a good carbon filter and

the salt can be removed by reverse osmosis. Are there any reasonably priced

products that anyone knows of that combine the two and can be used in the

bathroom or a way that the two could be combined to do the job. I have searched

online and all I seem to find are whole house systems which are very expensive.

We rent our home and cannot afford to purchase a whole house system that would

essentially be a donation to our landlord. Thanks for your help. Best of health,

I purchased a shower filter at Lowes for $20 with replacement filters at $10.

They are rated for approx 6 months but I change them at 5.

They are effective with showers being worse as regards chlorine absorption

because of the mist it throws up.

This is a touchy subject for me because chlorine is a 'known' and active

carcinogenic involved with bladder cancer. It tells me that it simply needs to

be avoided.

Bathing is not as bad nor is pool swimming as bad as an Indoor Pool. Again, it

is the breathing in of chlorine and it's elements that is worse. However it

would be better to avoid it.

I'm not at home so I don't have the shower filter name handy. It is easy to

install and when I tested it for chlorine in the water I did not find any that

could be detected. My information about the cancer/chlorine connection was

found on a number of studies I found on PubMed.
