CuZn Bath Water Filter Ball That Hangs from Bath Faucet

Bath Ball Water Filter Removes Chlorine and Chloramines from Bath Tub Water

CuZn Bath Water Filter Ball Hangs from Faucet and Removes Chlorine and ChloraminesCuZn Bath Water Filter Ball hangs on your bath tub faucet and lasts significantly longer than other brands (15,000 gallons - 300 baths in a 50 gallon tub)). If you use unfiltered water, every time you step into a hot, steamy bath, your body soaks up chlorine like a sponge. You absorb more chlorine when you bathe than you do from your drinking water.

Most people regard a hot shower or bath as one of life's little pleasures. However, what many people don't realize is the danger of chlorine in the water. Although chlorine is universally used to disinfect water, it is not safe for drinking, showering or bathing.

"Chlorine is so dangerous" according to biologist/chemist Dr. Herbert Schwartz," that it should be banned. Putting chlorine in the water is like starting a time bomb. Cancer, heart trouble, premature senility, both mental and physical are conditions attributable to chlorine treated water supplies. It is making us grow old before our time by producing symptoms of ageing such as hardening of the arteries."

Chlorine is a poison that attacks organic matter. It bonds with the protein in your body. It is harmful to your hair, your skin, your eyes, your nose and mouth membranes and your lungs. Chlorine leaves your hair brittle and dry. It burns your eyes and makes your skin dry flaky and itchy.

CuZn Bath Tub Faucet Filter

The CuZn™ Bath Ball™ is for people who want a quick, messless way to fill their bath with clean, filtered water. The Bath Ball utilizes the new PowerDisk™ patented FilterFoam™ technology, designed exclusively by CuZn™ for water filter applications. The new PowerDisk™ will eliminate dirt, sediment, odors and chlorine that causes dry, itchy, flaky skin, brittle hair, eye, lung and sinus irritation. Added PowerDisk™ benefits are your bathtub will stay cleaner longer because the filter reduces lime scale, mold, and mildew deposits and helps to soften your water naturally (without salt!!) leaving your skin supple and smooth and your hair soft, silky and manageable.

What Is the Difference Between KDF®55 and KDF®85? 

KDF®55 media remove a significant amount of water-soluble heavy metals like lead, mercury, nickel, chromium, copper, arsenic and other dissolved metals. KDF®85 media removes iron and hydrogen sulfide. Both are effective in controlling the buildup of bacteria, algae, fungi and scale, even in hot water, making them ideal for use in GAC (granulated activated carbon) beds, ion exchange resins, carbon block filters and inline carbon filters.

Additionally, KDF®55 significantly reduces free and combined chlorine, and KDF®85 reduces chloramine, iron and hydrogen sulfide. KDF®85 also removes free and combined chlorine, but about 20% less effectively than KDF®55. Read more about KDF filters

NOTE: Chlorine in water may be present in two forms, free and combined. Free chlorine does the hard work of killing bacteria and oxidizing contaminants. When you add chlorine to water, you are actually adding free chlorine. When the free chlorine combines with contaminants, it becomes combined chlorine or chloramines. In water, this form of chlorine has very little sanitizing ability, and no oxidizing ability. Total chlorine is just the sum of both combined chlorine and free chlorine.

CuZn's KDF®55 filter removes about 95% and the KDF®85 removes about 75% of both free and combined chlorine as a new filter and diminishes in capability as the filter is used, as do all water filters. There is only one accurate water test that is capable of measuring both free and combined chlorine -- DPD#1 Test. Unfortunately, because of the nature of the beast, false readings are common.

On Home Testing of Shower Filters

Chlorine in water may be present in two forms, free and combined. Free chlorine does the hard work of killing bacteria and oxidizing contaminants. When you add chlorine to water, you are actually adding free chlorine. When the free chlorine combines with contaminants, it becomes combined chlorine or chloramines. In water, this form of chlorine has very little sanitizing ability, and no oxidizing ability. Total chlorine is just the sum of both combined chlorine and free chlorine.

CuZn TurboShower Filters are designed to remove free chlorine (CL) from water. Because of how Copper-Zinc works, OTO (orthotolodine pool testing kits that measure chlorine in water) tests do not give accurate readings. Copper and Zinc ions recombine with the chlorine molecules to produce cupric chloride and zinc chloride. Therefore, any test that measures the CI ion (such as OTO and some DPD tests) will show positive in the presence of cupric chloride and zinc chloride. The test may show positive when testing the TurboShower even though the TurboShower is working perfectly to remove the harmful chlorine. The DPD #1 Test, which tests only for CI2 is the only way to accurately measure the TurboShower's effectiveness.

However, even DPD #1 will not accurately test chlorine's removal from water in the presence of chloramines. Chloramine is produced when a municipality injects both chlorine and ammonia simultaneously into the water supply. This is done to reduce CI2's ability to combine with organic matter in the water and thereby produce potentially harmful trihalomethanes (THMs). Because chloramine has less disinfecting ability than free chlorine, a higher concentration of chlorine in usually used to get the same bacteria kill rate. 1

Additionally, the presence of iodine ions in water will magnify the chloramine interference when using the OTO and DPD test methods. Also, oxidized manganese in the water may interfere with the DPD procedure. 1,2

To get accurate readings of CL2 levels, an amperometric titration method should be used because it is least likely to reflect interferences.

CuZn's KDF®55 filter removes about 95% of free and combined chlorine; CuZn KDF®85 removes about 75% of free and combined chlorine as a new filter and diminishes in capability as the filter is used, as do all water filters. There is only one accurate water test that is capable of measuring both free and combined chlorine -- DPD#1 Test. Unfortunately, because of the nature of the beast, false readings are common, as described above.

For practical purposes, a person's body will tell him or her when the filtration media is exhausted and is letting chlorine through. Besides one's nose noticing the disagreeable chlorine smell, one's skin and hair will become dry, flaky, and itchy in the presence of chlorine.

  • The patented FilterFoam® PowerDisk™ is a non-carbon filtration media that's non-toxic and recyclable.
  • The compact design is easy to install; just hang it from the tub spout.
  • Refillable with a replacement filter.
  • PowerDisk™ Filter Media utilizes the new patented FilterFoam® Media Technology, which uses an all natural process that works by catalytic action and the redox (reduction/oxidation) principal of dissimilar metals. These controlled releases of ions are carried into the filtered water where they kill bacteria and provide hostile conditions for algae and fungus growth.
  • Flow Rate is 4-5 gpm.
