I purchased these Vita Sea Salt Vitamin C Dechlorinating Bath crystals from Vitamin Shower Filter USA a few months ago , and now I am due to buy more. I had to investigate all my options further so it was illumination time.
Here is a list of the most common dechlorination options:
KDF-Kinetic Degradation Fluxion, this is a true filter that is a combination of zinc and copper. The water temp needs to reach above 84ยบ F to activate this filter. My only worry is that you can be adding both copper and zinc to the bath.
AC-Activated carbon filters should only be used with cold water as the hot water can break down the carbon very easily.
Vitamin C- Although it is not a true "filter" it is more of an additive that binds with the chlorine and neutralizes both free chlorine & chloramines instantly upon contact though simple chemistry.
I read a bunch of different articles, and specs on products and this article had some good points. I mean as far as all the "bads" of KDF and AC I would take all that with a grain of salt (hee hee ha ha) I mean as far as I am concerned the more simple and natural the better. So after all that I bought us bathers in my house another tub. It lasts a LONG time and we bath everyday so that says something....

Came across your blog because of this post. My daughter has some eczema spots on her legs that just don't go away. I'd noticed they became red when we visited a pool or fountains with high concentrations of chlorine. Now, we've just come home from camping at the beach, and her spots are nearly gone. Long story short... I'm definitely buying these bath salts right away! Thanks for posting.
