We previously noted that we consider Vitamin C to be the best way to remove chlorine from your shower water. But what about baths? Surely soaking in chlorinated water is just as harmful. Indeed it is — especially for children.
If you have a shower filter, one way to avoid this is to fill your bath with the water from the shower head.
However, there is also a company that makes dechlorinating tablets called “Vitabath”. Each tablet can dechlorinate 100 gallons of water. The tablets consist of a mixture of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), citric acid and sodium bicarbonate. As Vitabath dissolves, the vitamin C will become effervescent and begin to fizz. When it is done, the chlorine will be neutralized.
You can also use them to dechlorinate spas, jacuzzis and fish tanks.
These tablets are less expensive and more effective than the Crystal Ball, featured previously.

If it works because of the effervescense than I wonder if a packet or two of EmergenC drink would work? It has C and it fizzes and would be lots cheaper……just a thought!
