Yes, if you wish to remove chlorine. When ammonia and chlorine are introduced simultaneously into water they combine to create a chloramine compound. However, the chlorine that has not bonded to ammonia or organic matter in this water treatment process is residual (free) chlorine. The shower filter removes this toxic free chlorine from the shower water that has been treated with chloramine.
