“I believe one of the most important but least appreciated water filtration needs is for showers. This is because once water is heated, chlorine will off gas from water, which results in people frequently breathing it significant amounts of it in while showering. In turn, I and many others have found a subset of patients (e.g., singers or those with a sensitive throat) find certain chronic symptoms improve once they get a chlorine shower filter, and likewise that it feels much better for the skin and hair if they use a dechlorinated shower. Given that shower chlorine filters cost very little and last for a long time, I believe they are an excellent health investment.”

I’ve installed a reverse osmosis filter for my entire house at the public water inlet, and chlorine levels are near undetectable.
But now you’re making way more wastewater than the water you’re actually using. Could you use a carbon filter instead?
There is no need to filter the water. Usually there is 0 chlorine in water. Sometimes 0.1mg/l is added (at max) if the system is infected with something, but this comes with massive warnings. Filtering water is a great scam. The water in our pipes is actually better than bottled water most of the times.
