Product Reviews of Rainshow'r Crystal Bath Ball Dechlorinator - bath water filter great for bathing
Product Review: crystal ball directions
Summary: 3 Stars
The important thing to note about this product is how it
is used. You have to first fill your bath tub, and then
pull the unit back and forth through the water to filter
the water. This may take a few minutes and if you are patient
it may work, if you get impatient or don't want to take the time,
don't bother with buying this product.
Product Review: Chlorine Free Baths for me and my family
Summary: 5 Stars
Now we can take a hot hot bath together and not smell the stinkin' chlorine. This Bath Ball really works!
When I use it, I simply toss it in the water as the bath fills up and I leave it in the bath while we are playing in the tub - kids love it as a toy.
I forgot to put it in the water once when I was drawing a hot bath, I opened the door to the bathroom and BLAM - I smelled the chlorine thickly in the air. That was one of only a few times that I forgot to put it in the bath when I fill it. That mistake proved to me though that the Crystal Bath Ball works - and works well.
I highly recommend it.
Product Review: Wow! What a ball.
Summary: 5 Stars
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!

Product Review: I will now ALWAYS have a bath / shower filter!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
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!! :-)
EDIT TO REVIEW / UPDATE on Jan 17, 2009. Since posting this, I have learned a lot about water filteration systems for drinking and bathing. While I still do love this bath filter, I don't feel that it provides ADEQUATE filteration from the chlorine. Since approx 70-80% of chlorine disappates into the air when it comes out of the faucet, it turns into a toxic gas that quickly spreads but is slow to degrade. So although your water now has approx 20-30% chlorine that it had that this bath filter could take care of, you are now breathing fumes from the chlorinated water. So although I still like this bath filter as it makes the water super soft, I no longer feel that it's adequate to rely on to filter out gaseous chlorine vapors. If you have any questions regarding drinking & shower filters, feel free to contact me.
