Guest guest Posted February 17, 2001 Report Share Posted February 17, 2001 , Consider getting a dechlorinator. S -------------------------------------------------------------- Gee, Bob, I've been doing this for five years and never noticed any sulfur smell. Do you suppose I'm nose deaf? I do notice the smell of chlorine in our water, however, right out of the tap!

But, here is more food for thought (in case you need more stuff to toss around!): if you leave water sitting in an open container for hours, the chlorine will leave on its own. I think overnight is long enough? I have not done this a lot, but every year I go to a campout where they make an announcement about this (because the tapwater is chlorinated there). (They also have filtered water, which I drink!) Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 It should work fine. Does it say what the active ingredient is?

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2002 Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 Hi, We got our shower head filters from Allergy Asthma Technology ( www.allergyasthmatech.com . It reduced my daughter's post-bath hyperactivity and sniffle problem. It made my hair softer, too. It gets rid of pollutants in the water as well as the chlorine. If you want a good discussion of water pollution, see the book titled " Living Downstream " by a former Illinois resident who developed cancer early in life. The author says we get as much pollution exposure in a 5 minute shower as from drinking 1/2 gallon of unfiltered water. (By the way, I can't recommend this book enough - it is informative and poetic - a good read). See http://www.steingraber.com/ who will be on the Moyers show this Friday. I have had good success with the Rain Show'r filter. We must not have a soot problem here. K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2002 Report Share Posted May 12, 2002 No it doesn't, but I will ring the two companies tomorrow and find out. One bottle says, " Aquarium Science Complete Water Treatment and Conditioner eliminates and removes Chlorine, Chloramine and Ammonia. Contains Electrolytes to prevent dehydration and Vit B to reduce stress. It detoxifies and binds up heavy metals. " !! Pretty interesting. Will get back to you with the ingredients. - In @y..., " andrewhallcutler " <AndyCutler@a...> wrote: > It should work fine. > > Does it say what the active ingredient is? > > Andy . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . .

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 Hi Carol, You don't need to have chlorine on the pool. They have an ionizer attachment that can be put on the pool even after it has been built, that eliminates the use of chlorine. My next door neighbor had to have this attachment put on her pool because she was allergic to chlorine and could no longer use her pool.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 Wow, Deb. I didn't know that! Thanks for the info. If we talk about it again, I'll be sure to mention it to Stan. Love you, Lucy!

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Hello, Here is some information on chlorine. Hope this helps, Kay Dr. Mercola's Comment: Swimming is a wonderful sport. Many people enjoy exercising in the water. The best place to swim is where many of our Paleolithic ancestors swam, in the ocean. The salt water actually serves to kill many of the parasites that live on our skin and in our nasal passages and eyes and takes a huge stress off our immune system. Additionally, we tend to absorb many of the valuable minerals from the water. Unfortunately, a chlorinated swimming pool is a far inferior alternative. The chlorine in most pools is rapidly absorbed through your skin and can contribute to some major disruptions in your biochemistry. If you don't drink unfiltered tap water, you will certainly want to avoid swimming in pools as you can absorb more chlorine after one hour in a pool than you will from a week of drinking tap water. There are many alternatives. The simplest one would be Baquacil (most pool stores have this in stock), which is a form of hydrogen peroxide. One could also use ozone. Both of these approaches are oxidative therapies that will kill the organisms in the pool similar to chlorine (which also is an oxidative agent).
