I hadn't thought about the acidic effects of (toxic) chlorine on calcium. I realized many years ago that chlorine brought on bronchitis symptoms, so I avoid it, including a de-chlorinating shower filter. People should realize chlorine doesn't need drinking to get into the body. The vapors are inhaled and the skin absorbs it. I highly recommend that people with chlorine in their water invest in a de-chlorinating shower filter or, better yet, a filter for the entire house. I use this shower filter: www.gaiam.com/retail/product/01-0406 though they have many other shower filters. We have a basic filter on the main water pipe coming into the house. I believe the company making the system has an optional de-chlorinating filter cartridge.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Thanks, Jeff. I've been aware of this for a while, but don't have funds to do filter for whole house.
