Is this for real? The Bath Ball tap filter has got to be the easiest, least hideous looking filter we've seen for the bath. Though we definitely prefer filtered drinking water, here in Seattle unfiltered water doesn't taste too bad. The number done on skin is another matter altogether.
The ball hangs from the tap by a vinyl strap, and as water runs through it, 95% of the chlorine is filtered out. It's $89 here, and replacement KDF filters are $49. So the cost leaves something to be desired, but we like how it doesn't require screwing-on.

Looks like this was designed for faucets where you couldn't intall a water filter if you wanted (such as those in my Sis's home) - so for that the price seems fairly reasonable.

How in the world does $89 sound reasonable for a cheap poorly designed piece of plastic??

Doesn't chlorine just evaporate if you let the water sit? I just keep a jug in my fridge.

I own this same bathtub filter. I have had the "cheap poorly designed piece of plastic" for about seven years now. The filter is designed, based on use by a family of four, to be replaced once per year.

Melissa A, I'm afraid not much chlorine is going to evaporate like that... a refrigerator has no air circulation, cold temperatures, and I imagine your jug only has a small surface area for the water and the water is still, not moving... all of those retard chlorine evaporation. I would go with a water filter if I was you.

I can't imagine how long it would take to fill a bathtub with one of those things attached...
