ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CRYSTAL BALL

HOW IS IT USED?
The Crystal Ball for the Bath dechlorinates the water by placing it into the tub and pulling it through the water with the attached 30cm cord for a few minutes. The 30cm cord is also used to hang the ball on a hook or fixture to dry between uses. Please remove it from the bathtub before using the tub to avoid the possibility of stepping on the plastic ball. If you add more water to the tub while bathing you may swirl the Crystal Ball through the water for another minute or so to remove any new chlorine.

WHAT IS THE MEDIA USED TO DECHLORINATE AND TREAT THE WATER?
1. 1 1/2 oz. KDF Formula 73 Copper-Zinc filament.
2. 1 oz. Virgin American Crystalline Quartz.

WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THE KDF FORMULA 73 FILAMENT?
KDF Formula 73 (F-73) is a specially processed alloy of 70% copper and 30% zinc. The filament is processed by special machinery, which produces a fine, hair-like strand of brass only 60 to 80 microns in thickness, about the same as a human hair. Each Crystal Ball for the Bath contains 1 1/2oz. of F-73 strands, which if laid end to end would extend over 1,220 metres. This provides the Crystal Ball with a great surface area, which in turn accelerates the electro-chemical action of the F-73. The Crystal Ball for the Bath is absolutely unique. There is nothing with which to compare it.

HOW DOES KDF FORMULA WORK IN REMOVING CHLORINE?
As chlorinated water flows through the filament the dissimilar metals in KDF, (copper and zinc), create a galvanic or electrolytic reaction which causes the two chlorine ions to combine with a zinc ion to form a harmless zinc chloride (ZNCL2). KDF does not hold the chlorine. It changes the chlorine from an element into a harmless compound.

WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF CRYSTALLINE QUARTZ?
Our specially washed and sun dried quartz crystals help to "energize" the water by reducing the water's surface tension. This allows for an increase in sudsing and lathering of soaps and shampoos. The water has a "lighter" feel, similar to the feeling of softened water. Please see " Quartz crystal - A technical discussion " for our in depth technical report on the use of electromagnetic crystal in our dechlorinating bath and shower filters.

ARE ANY MATERIALS USED IN THE CRYSTAL BALL FOR THE BATH EITHER HARMFUL OR TOXIC?
No. KDF media is widely used in drinking water and water treatment systems. It also conforms to the U.S. Drinking Water Act (PL99-399 of 6/19/86). Our crystalline quartz is pure American mined silicon dioxide (S102) specially washed and sun cured. It is chemically inert.

The Crystal Ball for the Bath is completely American made including all components and raw materials.
