THE ION SHOWER SPA
The skin is the bodies largest organ.
It easily absorbs contaminants, which enter our blood stream.
WHATEVER YOU PUT ONTO YOUR SKIN ENDS UP IN YOUR BODY.
Whatever we put down the drain - ends up in the ocean.
It's time to become conscious of what your body is consuming.
Did You Know?
Chlorine was first added into our water in the 19th century to combat disease such as typhoid and cholera. As a result, people began dying from heart disease, respiratory disease and cancer.
Chlorine in our tap water is a health hazard to both children and adults. The risk of developing cancer is 93% higher in people who drink, or are otherwise exposed to chlorinated water.
Your body absorbs more toxic exposure from showering in tap water than from drinking it. During the course of one 10 minute long shower, you absorb more chlorine than you would when drinking 10 glasses of tap water.
Yikes.
Your skin is your body largest organ, and we absorbs hundreds of chemicals just from our showers.
When we enjoy hot and steamy showers in chlorinated water, we inhale + ingest chemical gases.
RESEARCH AT BOSTON UNIVERSITY SHOWS THAT WE ABSORB UP TO 6X MORE VOLATILE CHEMICALS THROUGH OUR LUNGS AND SKIN WHILE BATHING, THAN FROM DRINKING CHLORINATED WATER.
The dangers and risks of chlorine exposure are serious — including, but not limited to…
Irritation of the eyes, sinuses, throat, and skin
Aggravation of the lungs
Excessive free radical formation, which results in accelerated aging
Hardened arteries
Difficulty metabolizing cholesterol
Higher vulnerability to genetic mutation
Development of cancer
In a recent article in The American Journal of Public Health, chlorine was linked to measurable increases in certain types of cancer. The article also reported that up to 2/3 of our harmful exposure to chlorine is through absorption by the skin during showering.Showering is the primary cause for elevated levels of chloroform in the average American home.
GOT CHLOROFORM?
The most current findings from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) indicate that virtually every home in America has a detectable level in the air of chloroform gas — a derivative of chlorine and a known carcinogen — due to chlorine and showering.
Remember, chloroform is a carcinogen, and it’s also linked to excessive free radical formation, cell mutation, and the oxidation of cholesterol.
Even if you can’t detect the presence of chlorine in your water via smell or taste, that doesn’t mean you’re safe from the consequence of exposure.
Experts used to believe that ingestion was the primary method of chlorine intake, but new studies show that inhalation and skin exposure intake are even higher.
The use of chloroform in medical procedures is no longer allowed, since 2017.
Chlorinated bathing water is also attributed to hair loss & dry scalp/dandruff.
As Dr. Mercola explains, when we inhale chloroform, it goes directly into our bloodstreams without any kind of preliminary detoxification. So unless you are regularly taking minute-long showers in cold water, “your body is like a sponge for these airborne toxins every second you spend in the shower,” says Mercola.
The Shower Spa removes chlorine from your shower and bath water. Its dual cartridge system contains therapeutic ingredients that have a relaxing hot spring effect. The water is broken down which makes it easier for your body to absorb the healthy and clean mineral ion water. The spa filter contains a blend of natural hot spring ingredients and minerals that makes the water slightly alkaline and very relaxing. A shower filtration and re-mineralization machine ensures that our skin stays healthy, clean and hydrated by filtering out all chlorine, and adding back in the minerals that our skin and hair truly need.
More than just a filter.
Let’s dive into what makes this device so special…
The Filter ~ Protect your delicate skin from the harmful effects of tap water.
The filter contains a layer of ceramic, about three times higher than other conventional products. It contains ceramic balls that generate negative ions, producing a relaxing effect and more importantly, preventing oxidation.
Ensures removal of virtually 100% of residual chlorine.
The cartridge purification system effectively removes chlorine and bacteria, leaving you with a fresh, invigorating feeling.
Effective against skin-deterioration and freckles.The Shower Spa comes with an internal chlorine filter but it is much much more than just a chlorine filter. It has an active charcoal filter and produces mineral ion water.
Before and after shot of a used and unused filter. Yikes!
The main value comes from the TUFA MINERAL STONE.
“Tufa” is a mineral stone taken directly from the Futamata Radium Hot Spring in Hokkaido, Japan. It gives the water the same gentle and relaxing effect of a hot spring. You can expect each shower and bath to feel like a luxurious spa experience in your own home.
Additional Mineral Stones:
MIC Stone - Generates activated mildly alkaline water
Power Stone – generates strong negative-ions

HOW THE SHOWER SPA CREATES MINERAL ION WATER
The system produces slightly alkaline ionized water (pH 6.8-7.5) having the effect of a hot spring. It is used for shower or bath tub. The mineral-rich water produced gives a young skin and helps in keeping a smooth skin. The mineral ions in the water feed the skin.
1. External Filter
The first task is to filter out harmful components of the water: chlorine, trihalomethanes, phenols, sediment, odor, taste, and organic waste.
This is achieved by the use of a multistage activated carbon filter containing antibacterial granular activated carbon and Calcium Sulfite.
Water purification cartridge Tourmaline is a semiprecious crystal with a variable chemical structure, a complex silicate of aluminum and boron. The feature of tourmaline is to enable water through its use of the negative ion effect. It removes all impurities, such as organic compounds, using the activated carbon fiber. It turns tap water into good quality water and improves the efficiency of the ceramic balls.
2. Neodymium magnet
The Neodymium Magnet (or a super-magnet), represents a new generation of magnets which are based on rare metals. This highly qualitative magnet can decompose water molecules into smaller groups to activate water. At the same time, it helps promote better absorption of minerals.
3. Ceramic cartridge
The cartridge has a layer of ceramic filling. The layer of ceramic filling is about 3 times thicker than other products on the market. Ceramic balls of both Futumata Radium Hot spring are comfortably filled in a single cartridge.
4. Relaxing water
The Spa Filter creates abundant flow of hot water; 15 liters per minute (~4 gallons/minute). The massaging shower head adds to the relaxing effect.
