 I will now ALWAYS have a bath / shower filter!!! November 15, 2007

I have CONSIDERED bath / shower filters in the past but never really looked into the issues with chlorine in water you bathe / shower with until recently. It may seem logical but I was shocked when I learned that your skin can absborb more chlorine through your skin than what you would by drinking chlorinated water! Here I was concerned about the water we drink so we got a Kangen Water system and yet I did nothing to the water we clean our bodies and soak in.
The FIRST time I used this, I noticed a difference in the water. Even my son noticed a difference in his skin, telling me that it was no longer itchy from the 'hot' (warm) water. It's hard to conceptualize if you've never experienced it before but it turns bath water into 'silky', smooth bath water. As I was swirling the ball around before my children got in their bath, I noticed that just by sticking my hand in the now dechlorinated water, that my hand was SMOOTH and soft without any residue or oiliness.
If any of you have ever drank 9.5 alkaline Kangen water, water spun for an hour in a Vitalizer Plus machine or even bottled EON water, you'll know the difference in the 'texture' and 'feel' of the water. It's silkier, smoother, sweeter and 'thicker'...almost like a fine, full bodied wine. The TEXTURE (obviously we didn't drink it) of this water is almost identical.
It makes your hair and skin totally smooth and silky! In fact, I loved it so much that the very next day after using this for the first time, I bought myself a shower filter!! And now, I'll be buying a shower filter for every shower head in our home.
I have used both (shower filter and bath filter) now and personally, I THINK that the bath filter creates a smoother, silkier and thicker water because you can leave the ball in for longer vs the water simply running through the shower at a much faster rate. With that said, I still do love both and will NEVER go back!!! :-) In fact, if we travel, this ball is coming with us!!
For interested individuals: I bought an Aquasana shower filter...I bought the version that ALSO removes chloramines as well as chlorine. It's my UNDERSTANDING that some cities use both chlorine AND ammonia to create chloramines because it's cheaper than using all chlorine. It's also my understanding that chloramines are more toxic for our bodies than just plain chlorine, although I am not thrilled at the prospect of chlorine leaching into our pores either!
YES, you DO have to take a few minutes to swirl the ball around in the water but it's no big deal...I swirl it, then my children take turns swirling it then they get in. The directions DO say that you have to swirl the ball around for 5-8 minutes and is not effective if you try to simply hold it under the water spout because the water passes through it too quickly but considering the difference in our skin, it's worth it!!!
I was in a hurry today and I put the ball in the water as the bath was filling up then we started swirling it in the water when the water was almost full. No biggie.
Get it, you will NOT regret it!! Oh! and this vendor ships fast too!! :-)
If you want healthy skin in a dry climate....... May 8, 2008

As a chemist and applied mathematician in private practice for 25 years working with sufferers of environmental toxicity exposure, I work on the cutting edge of environmental chemistry and toxicology. Many revolutionary products are dismissed as quackery because of some people who use these products don't understand the theory behind the product so they don't appreciate or understand the product's use or benefit. This product delivers..the chlorine smell of our bath water in LA is dramatically reduced, our skin is no longer dry from chlorination of our bipolar lipid membranes of our skin cells and because of the unique quantum principles caused by phased arrayed crystals in the product, the water actually becomes slicker. It actually reduces electrostatic potential in the water which causes the water molecules to move in a less entropic fashion instead of random Brownian motion. The water molecules then no longer create the same density of polarized fat colloids in the water. Reduced electrostatic potential of the water means smaller fat colloids. Soap is fat and fat and water don't mix, fat is insoluble in water. Fat won't dissolve in water but you can reduce the colloid size of the fat just like lipoproteins in the blood stream keep cholesterol in a fatty suspension. Fat suspended in water forms colloids which then can leave "lumps" of fat on the skin. The water now has a detergent effect and reduces the fat colloid size and allows the soap to actually move in a more slippery fashion. This leaves a layer of consistent density lubricant on your skin instead of clumps of greasy fat. This aids in skin cleaning without causing dehyration because the water is actually trapped in the skin by the fat which helps keep your skin moist and smooth. Chlorine disrupts this process and allows your skin to dry out. Your skin has normal oil secretions that are broken down by soap in order to clean the skin surface and hair follicles out. The soap and shampoo now replace that oily layer after hydrating the skin which is the desired result. I have used products like this in the past because other than breathing and eating, the number one source of toxicological absorption is dermal contact and bathing and showering are the number one form of dermal contact you have that actually has a chemical effect on your skin. Living in dry LA it is essential to keep your skin moisturized. If you are a sick or poorly nutrified person, which many Americans are, nothing you can do on the outside can replace proper nutrition such as antioxidant and essential fatty acid intake that enhances skin cell metabolism , but this is definitely a product that should be a required hygiene strategy for maintaining health integrity in the toxic world we live in if you take baths. I have used dechlorinating shower heads for years with phenomenal results and this takes care of the bath equation. I highly recommend this product for anyone who has a chlorinated water supply and/or lives in a dry climate like the southwest US.
Save Your Skin by Getting Rid of Chemicals in the Water March 14, 2007

Since I bought a shower filter to save my hair from being dried out (it worked wonders, my hair has never been shinier)and I have very hard water - I began to worry about bathing in the unfiltered water from the faucet. I chose this bath water filter because instead of hanging over the faucet you simply drop it into the tub for five minutes before getting in. This way, the water pressure stays strong enough so my bubble bath really bubbles. This filter is not refillable & since I was just trying them out - I didn't want to spend the extra money for the refillable one. But I will probably go for the refillable version now since my skin definitely feels softer.
Wow! What a ball. January 18, 2008

I had been smelling chlorine each time we turned on our water and decided that even though expensive, I'd break down and buy this ball. Wow! You can actually feel the change in the texture of the water. And our skin is now very soft (it's winter and we'd been having to use a lot of lotion, but not anymore!). My daughter thinks it's another fun step in taking a bath--she helps swirl it around in the water.
I'm only a bit sad that it won't stay on my faucet as my faucet doesn't have the typical shower knob on it to hold the tie in place.
Highly recommended for every household!
It really works December 15, 2008
After moving to a new town and discovering the water here to be very stinky with chlorine I decided I needed a filter. By the way, not just the stink but my skin and scalp were so itchy and my hair just didn't seem that great anymore. One bath with this and I seriously had the best hair day since moving to town. My hair was soft and luxurious after blow drying it and my skin felt much better too. I have ordered a filtered shower head from Amazon also and am looking forward to recieving that.
