Singapore’s tap water is treated with chlorine to keep it safe, but that same chlorine can dry out skin, strip moisture from hair, and leave a noticeable smell in the shower. This category covers what’s actually in your water, how treatment works, and how filtration, including Suhae’s Vitae™ Vitamin C infusion, neutralises chlorine before it reaches your skin.
Quick answer: The chlorine smell in shower water comes mostly from chloramine, the disinfectant residual PUB deliberately maintains so treated water stays protected all the way to your tap. Heat and droplet spray push it into the air far faster than a running kitchen tap does, and a small enclosed bathroom then traps it. A […]

Heat makes chlorine more volatile, so more of it leaves the water and enters the air of a closed bathroom, and warm water sits on softened skin for longer than cold water would. Hot shower chlorine exposure is therefore different in kind from drinking the same water, though […]
Quick answer: Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, reduces the chlorine left in treated tap water and converts it into chloride, a far less reactive form of the same element. A vitamin c shower filter puts that reaction at the point of use, in the second or two between the pipe and your skin. It helps […]
