Chlorine and Chloramine which is now used in NY water is
a carcinogen, that is it breaks down into carcinogenic substances. As
for the shower: chlorine gas is poisonous and in a hot shower I suspect
the gas is released.
You are partailly right in believing the price for the filter
was too high, but it is not a bad idea to obtain a filter. Reverse
osmosis filtration is best and cannot be purchased for 19;95.
