JUST SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF SHOWERING IN FILTERED WATER TO CONSIDER

Should you shower in filtered water?

Your home’s tap water likely contains a mix of naturally occurring minerals, chemical additives, and contaminants, many of which can affect sensitive skin, hair, and even your overall health.

While small amounts of these substances are often considered safe to drink, they’re not always great for your skin or hair when absorbed daily through showers.

Common signs your shower water may be affecting you:

Dry, cracked skin

Brittle nails

Dull, lifeless hair

Itchy scalp

Eye or lung irritation from chlorine vapours

Lingering odours on skin and hair

If you’ve been trying product after product — from the “best body wash for dry skin” to expensive hair treatments — but still aren’t seeing results, the real problem might be your water.

Switching to filtered shower water can:
✅ Soothe sensitive skin
✅ Help maintain natural skin moisture
✅ Improve hair softness and shine
✅ Reduce irritation from chlorine and chemicals
✅ Minimise dryness after showering

The first step to healthier skin and hair isn’t always in the bottle, it’s in your water.

Why It’s Worth Testing Your Water

A quick understanding of your home’s water quality can help you decide if a Jila Water Whole Home Filtration System is the right choice and how switching to filtered water could benefit both your health and your home.

In Brisbane and across Queensland, water authorities regularly use chlorine and other chemicals to treat public water supplies. While this keeps water safe to drink, it can trigger irritation for those with sensitive skin and may also affect your hair and health when used for daily showering.

Ideally, you should be able to access your water quality report online but in reality, many local councils and water companies don’t make this information easy to find.

That’s why Jila Water offers free, no-obligation water testing by one of our experienced technicians. We’ll tell you exactly what’s in your water and whether a Whole Home Filtration System could make a real difference.

People with sensitive skin.

Healthier Skin Starts with Filtered Water

Showering in filtered water can greatly reduce common skin and scalp conditions from eczema, rashes, and dry, itchy skin to dandruff and irritated scalp. A Whole Home Water Filtration System is a smart choice for:
✅ Anyone with sensitive skin or scalp sensitivity
✅ Children and infants (who are especially vulnerable to chemicals in water)
✅ Families looking to reduce skin irritation and dryness

One of the biggest culprits? Chlorine.
Chlorine is added to public water to kill bacteria but it’s also harsh on skin, hair, and lungs. When heated (as in a hot shower), chlorine vapours become even more irritating, triggering dryness, itching, and flare-ups for those with skin sensitivities.

Installing a Jila Water Whole Home Filtration System means every shower, bath, and wash uses clean, chlorine-free water, helping your skin stay hydrated and healthy. It’s like using the best body wash for dry skin but starting with the right water makes an even bigger difference.

Protect Your Skin, Hair & Health with Cleaner Water

Remove More Than Just Chlorine Protect Your Skin, Hair & Health

It’s not just chlorine. Other water contaminants, including dissolved minerals, can strip your skin and hair of their natural oils, leaving the skin dry, brittle, or itchy, and causing hair to feel rough or dull.

With a Jila Water Whole Home Filtration System, your shower water is filtered to remove not only chlorine but also a wide range of minerals and contaminants so your skin, hair, and nails feel softer, smoother, and more comfortable after every wash.

Filtered water also helps reduce the potential for:
✅ Dry, sensitive skin
✅ Worsening asthma symptoms (irritation from chlorine vapours)
✅ Itchy scalp or dandruff
✅ Brittle nails and hair

A healthier home starts with healthier water, and that starts with Jila Water.

Chlorine Vapours Another Hidden Problem

When unfiltered water is heated whether for a shower or bath it produces chlorinated steam. Inhaling this vapour can aggravate the lungs and airways and worsen skin sensitivities. For people with asthma, eczema, or other skin conditions, showering in unfiltered, chlorinated water can contribute to flare-ups and discomfort.
