The American Chemical Society estimates that "we could receive from 6 to 100 times more chlorine by breathing the air around showers and baths than we could by drinking water."

The skin is our body's largest organ and is entirely chlorine absorbent. Chlorine chemically bonds with the protein in our skin and hair, making hair brittle and dry, and making skin itch, dry, and flake. One half of our daily chlorine exposure is from showering. Not only is chlorine absorbed through the skin, but it also vaporizes in the shower, is inhaled into the lungs, and is transferred directly into the blood system. In fact, chlorine exposure from one bath is equal to an entire day's amount of drinking the same water. Therefore, drinking filtered good water addresses only half the problem. Our crystal bath dechlorinator offers the answer for the complete solution.

Features of the Crystal Ball Bath Water Filter

When water comes in contact with the media filaments inside the fabric pouch, the chlorine ions in the water are converted into harmless zinc chloride. The toxic effects of chlorine, chloramine, and chlorine gas are eliminated with the aid of KDF Formula 73. More chlorine is removed faster if there is adequate circulation of the Crystal Ball in the water. The quartz crystals mixed with the media reduce the molecular structure of water into smaller clusters, thereby allowing enhanced sudsing and lathering of soap, and, the internal filter is replaceable! This is also a quick and easy way to get some chlorine-free water for any usage.

90% or more of your chlorine and chloramine are removed!  The media this US made product uses is an extra fine KDF filament. The 1 1/2 oz of filament provides an extremely large and highly efficient surface area for rapid dechlorination of water in bathtubs, pails, etc. and has a range of applications beyond bathtub use.  The Bath Ball also contains 1 oz. of high energy virgin American crystalline Quartz. Crystal has the effect of reducing surface tension of water and increases suds and lather.  The 18" chord is also useful to hang the ball on a hook or fixture to dry between uses. The Bath ball has a flat bottom so it can be placed on a flat surface without rolling. The Bath ball is not a toy and while it is completely safe and non-toxic we do not recommend using it as an infant or child's bath toy.

How to use the Crystal Ball Water Filter:

This bath ball dechlorinates the water by placing it into the tub and pulling through the water a few times with the use of an 18" lanyard attached to the top of the crystal bath ball water filter.

Benefits for chlorine free water:

Healthier, younger-looking skin.
Relief from dry, itchy skin.
Improved lathering and sudsing.
Safer for infants, adults and pets.
No skin and eye irritation.
Prevents asthma attacks.

Care instructions for Crystal ball:

The unit should be kept as clean as possible to maintain a long filter life. After about 200 baths or 12 months usage we suggest replacing the filter pouch that came with the ball by unsnapping the plastic housing, removing the old filter and replacing it with a fresh one.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BATH BALL

HOW IS IT USED?
The Crystal Ball for the Bath dechlorinates the water by placing it into the tub and pulling it through the water with the attached 12-inch cord for a few minutes. The 12-inch cord is also used to hang the ball on a hook or fixture to dry between uses. Please remove it from the bathtub before using the tub to avoid the possibility of stepping on the plastic ball. If you add more water to the tub while bathing you may swirl the Crystal Ball through the water for another minute or so to remove any new chlorine.

WHAT IS THE MEDIA USED TO DECHLORINATE AND TREAT THE WATER?
1. 1 1/2 oz. KDF Formula 73 Copper-Zinc filament.
2. 1 oz. Virgin American Crystalline Quartz.

WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THE KDF FORMULA 73 FILAMENT?
KDF Formula 73 (F-73) is a specially processed alloy of 70% copper and 30% zinc. The filament is processed by special machinery, which produces a fine, hair-like strand of brass only 60 to 80 microns in thickness, about the same as a human hair. Each Crystal Ball for the Bath contains 1 1/2oz. of F-73 strands, which if laid end to end would extend over 4000 feet. This provides the Crystal Ball with a great surface area, which in turn accelerates the electro-chemical action of the F-73. The Crystal Ball for the Bath is absolutely unique. There is nothing with which to compare it.

HOW DOES KDF FORMULA WORK IN REMOVING CHLORINE?
As chlorinated water flows through the filament the dissimilar metals in KDF, (copper and zinc), create a galvanic or electrolytic reaction which causes the two chlorine ions to combine with a zinc ion to form a harmless zinc chloride (ZNCL2). KDF does not hold the chlorine. It changes the chlorine from an element into a harmless compound.

WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF CRYSTALLINE QUARTZ?
Our specially washed and sun dried quartz crystals help to "energize" the water by reducing the water's surface tension. This allows for an increase in sudsing and lathering of soaps and shampoos. The water has a "lighter" feel, similar to the feeling of softened water.

ARE ANY MATERIALS USED IN THE CRYSTAL BALL FOR THE BATH EITHER HARMFUL OR TOXIC?
No. KDF media is widely used in drinking water and water treatment systems. It also conforms to the U.S. Drinking Water Act (PL99-399 of 6/19/86). Our crystalline quartz is pure American mined silicon dioxide (S102) specially washed and sun cured. It is chemically inert.

The Crystal Ball for the Bath is completely American made including all components and raw materials.
