| Removing Chlorine from Your
Bath Water 
Every day more and more information
is being gathered about the harmful effects of exposure to
chlorine. Chloramines damage our skin and hair and are absorbed
through our skin. As oxidizers, chloramines damage the
operation of cells and higher order biological functions.
This information is well known by health officials, but because
an equally effective alternative has not been discovered,
chlorine is still used by water purveyors to keep the presence
of life-threatening contaminants at safe levels. Unfortunately,
as urban centers get larger, so does the amount of chlorine
used, and one problem perpetuates the other. Many companies
are in the business of removing chlorine and other harmful
contaminants from drinking water. However, as one article
in the research has pointed out, our skin is our biggest organ
and we expose it every day to large amounts of chlorine when
we bathe and shower.
Did you know that it is actually
more important to remove the chlorine from your shower or
bath than from your drinking water? Chlorine in your shower
is harmful in several ways:
- Your skin absorbs as much
chlorine during a regular shower as is absorbed from the
water you drink in one day
- Chlorine is inhaled from the
shower steam, adding more harmful chemicals to your body.
Research indicates that others may also be affected. (Similar
to second hand smoke.)
- Chlorine often causes skin
scaling and irritation .
- Chlorine affects the protein
in your hair, making it drier and more brittle. It can even
affect hair coloring.
- Chlorine is especially harmful
for infants, the elderly, and those with respiratory disorders.
Trihalomethanes (THM's) occur
when chlorine comes in contact with organics in the water.
(A common THM is chloriform.) THM's have been linked to pregnancy
loss and certain cancers, especially bladder cancer.
Organics in your shower water
cause residue on the bathroom walls, which is a common cause
of mildew and mold.
The media in the Crystal Ball
for the bath is an extra fine KDF filament which provides
an extremely large and highly efficient surface area for the
rapid reduction of chlorine as well as the destabilization
of chloramines (chlorine and ammonia). During the five
to eight minutes required to fill the tub with hot water,
the agitation of the water flow and the movement of the Crystal
Ball being pulled through the water, combine to enable the
CB to remove up to 100% of the chlorine from the water in
bath tubs, bathinettes, pails, etc.
The Crystal Ball for the Bath is attractive and provides chlorine-free
filtered bath water that is safe for babies and tender skin.
It prevents dry skin by dechlorinating the water in just minutes.
Chlorine-free water restores a healthier, younger looking
skin.
