Hello steemit community! Today I would like to bring up Steem Rooms, and talk about if they are beneficial or not. Personally I have been going to Steam Rooms off, and on for years. I have noticed both benefits, and side effects. Benifits such as my body loosening up, and feeling more relaxed to my skin, and eyes getting irritated. ![main-qimg-a4b5d27512f3335cfb42914e4011c5e6.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZ9u1vvuEvdsUqAMznCjfUiZ5k5cTkqAzmzuQSivAcEZg/main-qimg-a4b5d27512f3335cfb42914e4011c5e6.jpeg) [Source](https://www.google.com/search?q=steam+room+benifits+&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjokdL12-TfAhUDmIMKHTSOAgwQ2-cCegQIABAC&oq=steam+room+benifits+&gs_l=mobile-gws-wiz-img.3..0i13i30j0i13i5i30.7717.11626..12328...0.0..0.192.2474.3j15......0....1.........0i24j0j0i5i30j0i10i24j0i13.REgHzlcB6q4&ei=PQQ4XKj_IoOwjgS0nIpg&prmd=nisv&biw=412&bih=766#imgrc=F7OdZTlCL_qdbM) Right away I felt like I knew what was causing my skin, and eyes to feel irritated. It was a irritation that felt very familiar to me before with the same irritation I would get after swimming in the pool at my local gym for 30 minutes. So I asked my Gym, and a few other Gyms if they were using city water for their water source to fuel their Steam rooms. Yes they all replied so knowing that city water was clorinated I asked these Steam Room hot spots if they were using a special filter to remove the chlorine from their water, and they all said no. ![chlorine-hazards-2009-17-728.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaE4dRDRRtDderxGu32LxfuuMfvsdvZ8vykVWphLs3gbR/chlorine-hazards-2009-17-728.jpg) [Source](https://www.google.com/search?q=health+effects+of+chlorine&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjar83l2eTfAhVJxoMKHZ4mAUMQ2-cCegQIABAC&oq=health+effects+of+chlorine&gs_l=mobile-gws-wiz-img.3..0i24l5.63128.68777..69666...0.0..3.298.2683.0j15j3......0....1.........0i7i30j30i10.BlsB1Uw8eVs&ei=AwI4XJqiBMmMjwSezYSYBA&prmd=nisv&biw=412&bih=766#imgrc=ytT-4epvngFBWM) After finding out such information I felt the need to do more research on Chlorine in the health effects that could be involved. ![dangers-of-chlorine.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeFZE2ST4YNJtWdQQWkUVmxVRLMVS5GkfZWH2VRLeFHJP/dangers-of-chlorine.jpg) [Source](![dangers-of-chlorine.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeFZE2ST4YNJtWdQQWkUVmxVRLMVS5GkfZWH2VRLeFHJP/dangers-of-chlorine.jpg)) After researching this topic I began to feel disappointed that a filter wasn't being used at my gym to remove the Chlorine. After all.. the Gym is suppose to be a place of health, and if I am going to be blunt.. I want the purist water being misted upon me as possible while using their Steam rooms. ![water-chlorine-filter-lot-spa-bath-water-shower-filters-remove-chlorine-baby-healthy-skincare-bathroom-water-best-water-filter-to-remove-chlorine-taste-water-filter-tastes-like-chlorine.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXtq3fGbcHbUSqf9ok9o4a8G3yarvmwHDSFFPNzVdUhao/water-chlorine-filter-lot-spa-bath-water-shower-filters-remove-chlorine-baby-healthy-skincare-bathroom-water-best-water-filter-to-remove-chlorine-taste-water-filter-tastes-like-chlorine.jpg) [Source](https://www.google.com/search?q=shower+remove+chlorine&prmd=sivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjU6LjK5OTfAhWdnoMKHW2sC7cQ_AUoAnoECAwQAg&biw=412&bih=766&dpr=2.63#imgrc=najSuCbm19S_IM) After all.. I use filters in my home to remove Chlorine, and I make it a habit to not drink Clorinated water as I am aware of the side effects of ingesting it. However what is the point of all that effort if I am going to get a good dose of chlorine through my skin? So I ask the steemit community this.. Does the benefits of a steam room outweigh the risk if the Steam rooms are comnected to city water without a filter? I would love to hear the mixed comments on this topic. -Adam3030
