CLOSEOUT: Water by Omica Complete Shower System (Shower Filter + Hand-Held Shower System, Brass with 4 ft hose)

Omica Organics Shower Filter
We know that whatever touches our skin can absorb into the body and that city water is loaded with many harmful additives such as chlorine and other pollutants. In fact, your skin absorbs the same amount of chlorine in one shower as drinking 8 full glasses of chlorinated water. With the Omica Shower Filter, you’re filtering the water of inorganic substances, making for a healthier you.
Brass has long lived up to its reputation as one of the best plumbing materials available, having outperformed other metals for centuries. This durable metal is highly resistant to corrosion (very important in areas where salts, minerals, and/or acids are found in the water), plus brass doesn’t rust, staying strong against these two main causes of plumbing wear and tear. Our durable solid brass pieces come with your choice of a Natural Brass or Chrome finish.

Food-grade silicone, rather than plastic or PVC, forms the inner lining of our 4 ft Stainless Steel hose. We don’t use plastic because not only does plastic affect the memory of the water, but all plastics are petroleum-based. Flexible plastics, such as hoses, are made pliable by adding chemicals such as phthalates during manufacture. These chemicals aren’t bonded but just mixed in, which allows all plastics to leach at some level.

Plastics will eventually stop leaching over time, however, the other often-used hose lining, PVC, will not, instead leaching chemicals throughout its entire lifetime. PVC is also the only common plastic that contains chlorine, listed by the US Federal government as an “extremely hazardous substance.” Vinyl chloride, the building block of PVC, is considered to be a carcinogen by the US Government National Toxicology Program.

Silicone is the safest option, which is why we use silicone to line our shower tubing, and the reason we provide silicone washers with all of our components.
