Remove Chlorine From Your Bath

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.

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!

In fact even a partial packet of Emergen-C will work. It’s the ascorbic acid which does the trick. Go to this website for more details.
