Vitamin C is also a great way to get rid of chlorine in your drinking water. It's especially important for kids since they tend to be more sensitive to this. You can buy a 1lb tub of Vitamin C for about $10 and that should last a year or two. The rate of vitC needed is about 1gram per 50 gallon tub ... so just a tiny pinch should do the trick per pitcher of drinking water assuming your water company is using the standard 1ppm of chlorine / chloramine

Thank you for the information. I have one question regarding this method for the creator of this film. When we shower the water is touching our body very short time after leaving the filter. While in the glass the Vitmain C + Chlorine are staying together for several seconds till the indicator shows the Chlorine presence. The question is if the reaction is fast enough to occur within the short period of the water leaving the hose till washing the body.
Regards

okey thats a nice video but the shower itself is damn expensive! :(
200$ is a lot.
also you must change the c vitamin several times a year i guess, (extra money)
can you recommend any other model equally effective and cheaper?

@Tjapukai2 thanks

@Tjapukai2 I don't really care how a hot-tub works i just thought it was funny.

@mizzbahamas88 Plain English - most water supplies contain chlorine and a sanitation agent, chlorine is bad in repeated doses, vitamin C filters neutralize chlorine removing 99.9% of it from your water in your shower which mean better health, softer skin, and healthier hair - that simple.
Also people who suffer from dry skin, asthma, dandruff, and a host of other issues have stated relief from using a vitamin C shower filter.
Hope this helps :-)
Na, the vitamin C combines with the yellow test chemical. The Chlorine is still there!

@lizardfirefighter110 Also I had replied to a previously to a similar comment asking about the chemical reaction of Vitamin C and Chlorine. There are plenty examples of state park officials that use chlorine to store water in their systems during the winter and then use vitamin C to neutralize the chlorine before they release the water back into the ecosystem - so these engineers use vitamin c to protect the fish and other wildlife.
I will also re-post the chemical reaction here

@lizardfirefighter110 The report cites the following reactions that effectively neutralize the chlorine
The reaction (Tikkanen and others 2001) of sodium ascorbate with chlorine is shown below:
C5H5O5CH2ONa + HOCL → C5H3O5CH2OH + NaCl + H2O
Sodium ascorbate + Hypochlorous acid → Dehydroascorbic acid + Sodium chloride + water
And
C5H5O5CH2OH + HOCL → C5H3O5CH2OH + HCl + H2O
Ascorbic acid + Hypochlorous acid → Dehydroascorbic acid + Hydrochloric acid + water

and the "hot tub" water is not hot?

@SChoolsFaOl The hot tub overflows into the pool by design when not in use. This makes sure that the water in the tub is fresh and filtered. A lot of custom pools have this feature, I am sure you can find a lot of information on this if you look into pool design.
In our application, the filter would draw water from the pool, filter it, and then return the to the hot tub.
Only when we are using the hot tub would the valves change, isolate the tub, and then heat it in about 12 minutes
