These Are the Products I Use for Cleaner Air, Filtered Water, and Peace of Mind at Home

Summer is here, and while my family and I try to spend as much time as possible outdoors, factors like extreme heat and poor outdoor air quality have me paying a little more attention to my home environment this time of year.
As a parent, I find myself thinking more about things I never used to worry much about, like indoor air quality and the water my family drinks every day. Over time, I’ve come to rely on a few products that make me feel more confident about both. From air quality monitors and air purifiers to water filters, these are the products I rely on most to help create a healthier home for my family.

Culligan with Zero Water Technology 10-Cup Water Filter Pitcher
I’d been using a water filter pitcher of some kind or another since college, but I always wondered how well they worked. Were they really removing anything at all? The Culligan with Zero Water Technology Water Filter Pitcher gives you that peace of mind by monitoring the water quality in real time. As the water filters through the pitcher, the water quality monitor displays the total dissolved solids measurement in real time. You can remove the monitor to see the difference between the unfiltered and filtered water — mine showed quite a difference. This comes in larger sizes too, such as the 12-cup pitcher, a 22-cup dispenser, and a 32-cup dispenser.

Canopy Handheld Filtered Shower Head & Scalp Massager
While I’d been filtering my drinking water for years, I never put much thought into the safety of my shower water. My cousin, who had worked as a hairdresser for years, told me about the importance of showering with filtered water for hair health, and since using the Canopy Showerhead Filter, I’ve definitely noticed the difference in my hair. It’s shinier, stays clean for longer, and I’ve even noticed some new growth. The company makes a bathtub filter as well.
