    Thanks, Bill. This has been an eye-opener, particularly regarding the absorption of chlorine into the skin! We don't drink tap water but will definitely get the shower head filter.

    Thanks Bill. Another great video. It surprised me actually how many chemicals are used to treat water to get it to your tap.

    This video should go viral, well done Bill, and thank you. Chlorine is very dangerous and should not be taken lightly because we dont see immediate effects we take no heed. There was a recent study published that indicated a lower iQ in male children in countries in which had chlorinated drinking water. Dont cheap out on filters especially if your planning on having children.

    I want to try that shower head filter too. I'm pretty sure there's a lot of chlorine in my water. I have an under sink filter for my drinking water thankfully.

    • @billshowto

      Try the testing tablets and check your chlorine levels 👍👍👍

    Wow, that’s WILD! Thanks so much Bill for the extensive research for us and education. I just purchased 2 of the shower heads on Amazon for my showers. 👍 I use Brita water jugs with the Target filters for our drinking water, I can taste the difference yet wonder now. 🤔 I also wonder what it will do to our skin and hair not having chlorinated showers. Alas, thanks, Mate.

    The last bowl using your filtration system has a s.light pink glow also.

    Great video Bill!
    Have you noticed any drop in water pressure running all your water through the ‘whole of house’ filtration system ?

    • @billshowto
      @billshowto  Před 5 měsíci +1

      I was worried about that so I got the larger unit to reduce any chance of pressure dropping. I have lost maybe 2% in pressure only when a secondary tap is opened. May look into installing a pump down the track

  • @andymagney4082
    @andymagney4082 Před 5 měsíci +1

    Hi Bill, great video. I'm not sure for your selves but acceptable cl level in spain is up to a maximum level of 0.60ppm free cl. Also we use for combined we use dpd 3.

    • @billshowto
      @billshowto  Před 5 měsíci +2

      Every country has different amounts that are allowed. Some countries have zero chlorine in their water

    Billshowto I'm looking at having a Complete Home Water Filtration system installed at my home in the near future. Can I ask you why you went with that particular brand for your new house please. Thankyou.

    • @billshowto
      @billshowto  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Hi, they are the Biggest and most reputable brand in Australia. Other companies may be just as good and will most likely be much cheaper however I wanted to see exactly what the biggest company has to offer and the complete process. When I get some time I will look into cheaper alternatives that offer the same 👍

    Will the shower head water filter reduce the water pressure?

  • @giacomoalessandrodeluca

    I live in notrthen Italy and i tried the same tests, as we have a swimming pool and we frequently check for chlorine. Where i live tap water is basically chlorine free

    great video, but there’s no way those filters last a year? Do they give you an idea of how many litres?

  • @Kergosis
    @Kergosis Před 5 měsíci +1

    Hi bill, when you stick your hand in the bowl, the chlorine is reacting with the organics and converting to THMs. If you did the test with dpd4 (total chlorine) you’d find that the chlorine is still there.

    • @billshowto
      @billshowto  Před 5 měsíci +3

      I am pretty sure I tested both tablets and had the same results ( not in the video) . Next job I go to I’ll test it out again and confirm. Hopefully I remember 👍👍👍

      I’ll add it to my list 👍

    How much is it to change the complete filtration filters after a year?

    • @billshowto
      @billshowto  Před 5 měsíci +2

      Depending on the filters you choose between $300-500.

    the shower head does not work.
    i have fitted shower head and it does not remove the chlorine, i brought the tablets and ran the test as you said and the water turned pink.
    I thought that if i use it for a few days it might start working so i just retested today after coming home from work and first test was done with the tap running for about a minute and the results was clear water, great i thought but when I let the shower run for a few minutes the water turned pink.
    So i think the shower head works for about a minute then what ever is in side the head can not keep up with the water flow, so it can not remove the chlorine from the water.
    I brought the shower head and testing tablets from the link you put in your video.
    Wish i was wrong but probably better to get the whole house system.

    • @billshowto
      @billshowto  Před 5 měsíci

      Hi, I have noticed some people have been purchasing cheaper alternatives to the one tested in the video. I have not tested these and don’t know if the cheaper and lesser stages of filtration filers work.

      That’s not good, either it’s faulty or they are hit and miss batches. Can you exchange or refund it through Amazon?

    Onya, Bill. Don't listen to the haters, people who've done no research love their calcified pineal gland and will never understand, they'll fight for their right to be able to make fun or call names on people wanting to live cleaner and better because they've been told what to believe, they've become very good at running the scripts they're programmed with while failing to see every bit of convenience given up leads them further down their path of no return.
