The Truth About Chlorine in Dubai’s Water And How It Affects Your Family

Chlorine keeps municipal water safe to drink, but frequent exposure in hot showers can be harsh on children’s delicate skin, people with eczema, and allergy-prone households. This guide explains what chlorine does in Dubai’s water system, the potential effects on skin and hair, and how SOAH Vitamin C filtration helps you shower safely without compromising comfort.

Why Chlorine Is Added To Dubai’s Water

Chlorine protects the water network from harmful microorganisms as it travels to your building. It is effective and widely used worldwide. The trade-off comes in the bathroom: hot water and steam increase chlorine’s impact on skin, hair, and eyes, especially with daily exposure.

How Chlorine Exposure Shows Up At Home

Signs on Skin and Scalp

• Tightness, dryness, and post-shower itch on kids and adults
• Flare-ups for eczema-prone and reactive skin
• Frizzy, brittle hair and an irritated or flaky scalp

Why Children and Sensitive Skin Need Extra Care

Children’s skin barrier is thinner and loses moisture faster. Repeated exposure to chlorinated steam can disrupt barrier function, leading to discomfort and redness after bathing. Minimizing chlorine at the point of use is a practical, family-first step.

SOAH Vitamin C technology helps neutralize free chlorine in the water stream before it touches your skin. You keep the convenience of city water while reducing harshness for kids and sensitive skin. Every model is designed for easy installation and strong, satisfying water pressure.
