10,000 litters of water. The life time is independent on the temperature and pressure of water. Vitamin C hand shower is
capable of working continuously up to 10 hours and the corresponding KDF shower filters is only able to work continuously 3
to 4 hours. The life time of Vitamin C hand shower is 200% to 300% longer than that of KDF shower filter. The flow rate of
the shower head is roughly the same before and after the Vitamin C shower filter is installed. It works universally as long as
the regular shower head can be used.

The Basic Mechanism of Vitamin Shower Filter VCF-01

Many natural antioxidants such as L-ascorbic acid is its redox behaviour. Especially, ascorbic acid and some antioxidants rapidly
reduces oxidizing chlorine compounds, and it has the advantage of producing inorganic halides and de-hydro ascorbic acid as
opposed to halogenated organic molecules as byproducts. In addition to L-ascorbic acid will form chelate complexes with
transition metal ions.

Dichromate Vitamin C

The research demonstrated that the removal efficiency was apparently affected by the concentration of vitamin
C and the reaction temperature but only slightly affected by oxygen concentration. The disappearance of
Cr(VI) in the initial five minutes satisfies pseudo-first-order kinetics. During the reaction vitamin C is oxidated
to dehydroascorbic acid. The stoichiometry of Cr(VI) to vitamin C is 2:3. The results denoted that vitamin C can
removed Cr(VI) effectively in the exposure condition and normal temperature. The reaction products,
dehydroascorbic acid, can be degraded by microorganism in groundwater or soil.

Therefore, vitamin C is a good choice for the remediation of groundwater or soil

Cr2O72- contaminated by heavy metals.

FIR cause resonance with water molecules. It ionizes and activates water molecules in our cells and blood thus
improving our blood circulation and health condition. The human body contains more than 70% water by weight.

Anion

The reason the body feels refreshed in the forest or waterfall hot spring is from the negative electric charge from
the air, which is the anion, and when the atom loses an electron, it becomes a positive ion and when an atom
gains an electron, it becomes an anion. The anion promotes the metabolism of cells and increases one’s vitality,
refreshes the blood, relieves fatigue, increases appetite and brings stability. Thus, it is even called the vitamin of
oxygen. With the pleasant state of nature as the standard, the distribution of anion per 1cc of forest, hot spring,

Tab Water

Chlorine has been used in water purification for a very long time. For most of the 20th century chlorine contributed to improved
water quality by dramatically reducing water-borne illnesses. The purifying agent - chlorine - has been responsible for the
development of our present standard of living, because of the reduction of illnesses which caused better health and productivity.
In countries where the water is not treated effectively the economic development of those countries has directly suffered. Sick
people, stricken with stomach cramps and diarrhea, after consuming unsafe water, are not productive as they need to get well
first.
However, many pathogens have become resistant to chlorine. Cryptosporidium is one such pathogen. Thanks to its size it can
be filtered out with an adequately configured water filter.
Developments like these make the use of chlorine questionable, but it is still the most widely used water disinfection agent in the
world. The main reason: it is the cheapest way to disinfect water. But, it also has strong residual disinfection capacity . This
means that chlorine is used everywhere to keep the municipal water free from any re-contamination.

Tab water is sterilized with HCLO sodium chlorine. The first chlorine is added into the water at filtration plant, in order to disinfect
the water and to eliminate organic chemicals, and then second addition of chlorine is completed so as to preserve its chlorine
level in the water, prior to water supply to each household. It should be maintained to keep germs and virus away from the end
user. (economically efficient in relation with its effectiveness)

Chlorine is a toxic chemical element of halogen family, which is used for production of oxidizer, bleaching agent, and
sterilization-related goods. Chlorine in the tab water can also be reacted by a combination of organic elements to yield a
combination of organic chlorine (i.e. environmental hormone) that harms our environment and health.

Cl₂+ H2O → Cl- + HCLO + H+

Cl₂+ H2O → ClO- + Cl- + H2O

Chlorine and Chloramines

To better appreciate the power of using a vitamin as the dechlorination agent in the Vitamin Shower
Filter, the hazards in our water supplies must be better understood. These dangers are real and
should not be overlooked or accepted by the general public.
Chlorine is universally used to chemically disinfect public water systems because of its toxic effect
on harmful germs, bacteria and disease-causing organisms. As defined above, chlorine is a toxic
gas. With greater exposure to toxic chlorine contained in water supplies, the potential health
dangers we face become more real.

During the bathing process, the chlorine evaporates out of the water and is inhaled. This toxic gas
can also spread through the house and be inhaled by others. Some reports claim that as much
chlorine enters the body by inhaling steamy chlorinated shower vapors or through the open pores of
the skin as that which enters the body by drinking chlorinated water during the entire day. This
increased exposure to the adverse effects of chlorine by household residents can be from 6 to 100
times more than medically recommended.

Chlorine also attacks the skin and skin oils, creating a dermal drying effect. Shower water can also
cause or worsen skin irritations and rashes as well as drying the skin. Showering and bathing in
chlorinated water will also result in the breakage of hair shafts. Because chlorine is absorbed into
the body through the skin, additional physical problems can ensue. Chlorinated water can also
irritate eyes, leaving them red, itchy and burning. Inhaling the toxic steam can aggravate the
sinuses and lungs. Chloramines, although a more stable compound, contains chlorine and
ammonia and is also used to control bacteria in water systems. Its harmful effects cause the same
dangers as pure chlorine.

Chlorine: Added to all municipal water supplies, this disinfectant hardens arteries, destroys
proteins in the body, irritates skin and sinus conditions, and aggravates asthma, allergies, and
respiratory problems.

Chloroform: This powerful by product of chlorination causes excessive free radical formation
(accelerated aging!), normal cells to mutate, and cholesterol to oxidize. It is a known carcinogen!

 Chlorine is one of the causes of dry skin

Chlorine is a serious irritant and creates carcinogenic by-products. Persons with sensitive skin, skin rashes, specific skin allergies, very dry skin
need the most efficient shower filter to reduce their exposure to the aggressive effects of chlorine to the maximum extent possible. Chlorine dries skin
out significantly faster than chlorine free water.

Human skin is made up of protein that protects you from stimulus, irritation and evaporation, and plays other important roles. But chlorine is reacted
to destroy protein, which roughens and ages your skin, and causes various troubles to your skin. It worsens atopy-skin disease particularly.

Preliminary research suggests that the ingestion of harmful chemicals from drinking water may
not be the primary route of exposure. Both skin absorption and inhalation have been studied.
Skin versus oral absorption rates for toxic chemicals in both children and adults show much
higher rates of chemical absorption from skin than from oral ingestion for toluene, ethyl
benzene, and styrene . Inhalation from showering for TCE (trichloroethylene) was 6 to 80 times
greater than from drinking.

Advantages of Vitamin over Traditional Technologies

Vitamin C dechlorination has a lengthy history. It has been used in EPA and APHA methods for the dechlorination of lab samples. In the medical
industry, it is the standard for critical applications such as dialysis, where the introduction of chlorinated water or toxic chemical would be
catatrophic. Breeders of rare fish also choose this method of dechlorination. Very recently, Vitamin dechlorination is being used in the treatment
of water. It fully neutralizes both chlorine and chloramines. There are several powerful arguments for using Vitamin instead of KDF, activated
carbon or sulfur-based compounds as dechlorination agents. Vitamin utilizes ascorbic acid chemistry for dechlorination. It is made with an essential
vitamin for humans and many animals, which is known to boost the immune system, improve skin and hair of humans. It is also the safest and least
toxic of dechlorination agents. The research by US EPA found that L-Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) reacts rapidly and stoichiometrically with active
chlorine and has limited interactions with disinfection byproducts. They found no interference from L-ascorbic acid or its oxidation product
(dehydroascorbic acid) in mutagenicity assays of chlorinated NOM using Salmonella typhimurium TA100, with or without metabolic activation.

*Urbansky ET, Freeman DM, Rubio FJ, JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING 2 (3): 253-256 2000, United States Environmental

Activated carbon filtration (AC) is effective in reducing certain organic chemicals and chlorine in cold water. Chlorine is attracted to and held
(absorbed) into the surface of the carbon particles. However, the efficiency of absorption is quickly nullified when the water becomes warm. The
lifetime of an activated carbon shower filter is very short. An activated carbon shower filter gets clogged very quickly by the dirt it is meant to stop. As
soon as that happens, it immediately starts to supply dirty water.

KDF, another widely used dechlorination media, is comprised of copper and zinc. It removes free chlorine by reversing the electrochemical process
that originally separated the chlorine from sodium in a brine solution. It can't, however, remove chloramines and, it's efficiency depends on water
temperature, it doesn't work well in cold water.

There are several other limitations using KDF as a de-chlorinating agent. KDF shower filters are also affected by water pressure. When the water
pressure is not high enough, water simply can't pass through the KDF powders. The major problem of KDF shower filters is that the lifetime of the
filter depends on the quality of the water passing through it. This is truly a cath-22. When the quality of the water is bad, that's when we need a
shower filter the most.

The dirt a KDF filter removes from the water quickly covers the surface of the KDF that in turn makes the filter ineffective very quickly. When the
quality of the water is clean, we don't need a shower filter and KDF shower filters works great and will last a lot longer.
Other shower filter manufacturers use sulfur-based compounds such as calcium sulfite or sodium sulfite (or sulfate) as de-chlorinating agents. These
sulfur-based compounds can be toxic to humans. The addition of excess sulfite and sulfate chemicals to our water supplies has always been a
concern.
