Bath Filters Explained: How a Bath Ball Filter Works and Why It Matters

Ever Wonder What's Really in Your Bath Water?

If you're like most people, you probably run a bath without giving the water a second thought. It looks clear, it’s warm, it smells fine—so it must be clean, right? But what if we told you that same water could be loaded with chlorine, heavy metals, and other things that aren’t exactly skin-friendly?

To make matters worse, when hot water hits your tub, it turns chlorine into vapour—yep, the stuff you’re breathing in while you soak. Those fumes can irritate your lungs and make your relaxing soak a little less zen.

That’s why we love the Bath Ball Filter. It’s a simple little gadget that helps clean up your bath water before it even hits the tub, giving your skin and your senses a much-needed break.

What’s Lurking in Your Tap Water?

Even though it’s safe to drink, tap water often comes with a few extras you probably don’t want soaking into your skin:

  ❌ Chlorine – great for killing bacteria, not so great for your skin or lungs
  ❌ Heavy metals – things like lead or mercury can sneak in through older plumbing
  ❌ Hard water minerals – calcium and magnesium can leave your skin feeling dry and itchy

Warm water opens up your pores, which means your skin can absorb even more of these not-so-nice extras. That’s where filtering your bath water makes a real difference.

Meet the Bath Ball Filter

The Bath Ball is made specifically for baths (not showers), and it’s designed to let water flow through fast—because nobody wants to wait 20 minutes for the tub to fill. It hangs under your tap and quietly filters the water as it pours in, without slowing things down.

It’s ideal for anyone who wants to make their bath time healthier and a little more indulgent:

  ✅ People with sensitive skin or eczema
  ✅ Parents bathing babies or young children
  ✅ Anyone trying to cut down on daily chemical exposure
  ✅ Bath lovers looking for a spa-like experience at home

So, How Does It Work?

Inside the Bath Ball is a clever bit of tech called Chlorgon™—a patented mix of copper, zinc, and calcium sulphite created by the team at Sprite. It’s designed to work in both hot and cold water and helps:

  ✅ Turn chlorine into a harmless salt before it hits your skin or lungs
  ✅ Filter out “used” chlorine that’s already reacted with stuff in the water
  ✅ Cut down on heavy metals like lead and mercury (depending on your area)
  ✅ Soften the effects of hard water, so your skin feels less tight and dry

Quick and Easy to Use

Getting started couldn’t be simpler:

  ✅ Use the included universal harness to hook the Bath Ball under your tap so the water runs through it.
  ✅ Got a funky-shaped spout? No problem. Just hang the Bath Ball below the tap and let it dangle in the stream.
  ✅ It’ll keep working even while it’s floating in your bathwater.

Why It Actually Matters

A lot of us don’t think twice about the water we bathe in—but if you’re already choosing gentle skincare or natural products, why not start at the source?

Here’s what you might notice with the Bath Ball:

  ✅ Softer skin and smoother hair
  ✅ Less itchiness and irritation
  ✅ A safer, gentler bath for babies and kids
  ✅ Natural bath oils that actually work—filtered water lets them blend better and soak in fully

A Tiny Upgrade That Feels Like a Treat

Swapping in a Bath Ball Filter is one of those small things that makes a big difference. Your skin will notice. Your nose will notice. Your bath will feel a whole lot more luxurious.
