I have not heard about the Sprite filters.

I have a child with pretty severe eczema so I have been forced to start filtering out the chlorine (it wasn't in the budget and really still isn't.) We haven't got the shower filter yet (that is next when the funds are there.) I did buy a bath ball. It does work if you have time to swish it for 5-8 minutes. In a house full of 6 kids and a busy bedtime routine, there is not time for that. I had a naturopath recommend Vitamin C tablets. WOW!!! They are awesome. They work fast and they are fizzy. My 2 yod always asks for his "bubbles". My dh splits them in half because a full tablet is meant for a very large tub of water. They are called VitaBath Vitamin C Bath Tablets (for can google that.) I can see the difference in the water before and after and can feel it when I use them. Sorry for the late post here.

It definitely wastes less - heat too. If you fill from above, the water is pretty cold by the time it hits the tub. I had incredibly high hopes for our filter, which we rec'd for Christmas. My son has a touch of eczema that I was just sure would disappear...but it didn't. It does get worse if he has a bath at Grandma's house across town, though, so maybe our filter is keeping more at bay than I realize. I do feel much better about giving the babies baths...now to clean up the soap issue!

I've been thinking about trying to filter our shower head for a while but hadn't really done any research on how to do it. But we're expecting a baby in a couple months and that's the motivation I need to get going. Plus we had money set aside to fix a plumbing issue that ended up getting resolved another way so I think I can go ahead and get a shower and/or bath filter! Thanks for mentioning it :) I’m so glad to see this. I’ve been thinking about trying to filter our shower head for a while but hadn’t really done any research on how to do it.

I have been thinking about buying one of these since I heard Dr. Oz talk about it on Oprah. I color my hair and I'm thinking it would last a whole lot longer w/o being literally bleached each time I shower LOL! Thanks for the link to your filter.
