Purenex Aquasplash - Manual (Page 2)

5. The Aquasplash should be kept as clean as possible to
maintain a long filter life. The Aquasplash is not a toy and while it
is completely safe and non-toxic, it should not be used as a child
or infant’s toy. We remind you again ALWAYS remove the ball
before stepping into the tub to avoid slipping.
6. Replace the filament pouch with a fresh pouch after a
year’s usage or about 200 baths. Service life could be longer
depending on water conditions. Important: Use and remove the
Aquasplash from the water before adding bath treatments such
as Espom salt, bath oils or bubble bath. These additives interfere
with product performance.
For Infant Bathing
The Aquasplash is very effective for bathing babies in small tubs
or basins (approximately 3 to 5 gallons). A baby’s delicate skin is
greatly benefited by removing toxic chlorine. Follow these steps:
1. Fill your tub or basin with the bath water at your required
temperature.
2. Place the Aquasplash into the water swirl the ball through the
water about 5 minutes. If you need more hot water just swirl the
Aquasplash for another minute.
3. Important: Remove the Aquasplash from the tub or basin
before placing the baby in the water. While completely safe, the
Aquasplash is not a tub toy.
4. Hang the Aquasplash up to dry after using.
Hot Tub And Spa Use
The Aquasplash may be used to remove chlorine from hot tubs
and spas, but it may take longer or require two plastic balls
How does KDF F-73 formula work in removing chlorine?
As chlorinated water flows through the filament, the dissimilar
metals in KDF, (copper and zinc), create a galvanic or electrolytic
reaction which causes two chlorine ions to combine with a
prevalent metal ion to form a harmless chloride. KDF does not
hold the chlorine. It changes the chlorine from an element into a
harmless compound.
Please explain how KDF F-73 works in removing chloramines from
the bath water.
Chlorine can combine with ammonia and nitrogen compounds
to create chloramines. These chloramines smell bad and are
body irritants. The smell of chloramines is most often associated
with the smell of indoor pools. But, chloramines are also created
by water treatment districts by adding ammonia to the water in
order to disinfect water supplies and to comply with the Federal
Safe Drinking Water Act.
Treatment plant chloramines (NH2CL) reduce chlorine’s ability
to combine with organic matter which, when it occurs, can
create a series of carcinogens called THM’s or Trihalomethanes.
Chloramines are relatively stable and cannot be removed by a
bath filter without the use of chemicals because the flow rate
is too fast. This is not regarded as a dermal problem because
exposure time to chloramines in a shower is very short. But, this
is not the case in a tub bath where the user can deep soak
for 20 minutes or more. KDF allows us to break the connection
between chlorine and ammonia, liberating the free chlorine
and allowing it to combine with some prevalent metal ion. This
instantly converts the free chlorine into a harmless chloride salt.
This very simple and safe use of science’s age old knowledge of
dissimilar metals technology enables us to remove up to 100% of
total chlorine at elevated bathing temperature (105-110 degrees
F) in about 5 to 8 minutes from the time the faucet is turned on.
because the volume of water is greater than that of a bath tub.
Very Important: Once you have removed chlorine from a hot
tub or spa, you must follow the hot tub or spa manufacturer’s
instructions on sanitizing the tubs/spa between uses. If you fail
to re-disinfect the tub/spa you could encourage unwanted
bacteria or fungus growth.
Frequently Asked Questions
How it is used?
The Aquasplash dechlorinates the water by placing it into the
tub and pulling it through the water with the attached 12-inch
cord for a few minutes. The 12-inch cord is also used to hang
the ball on a hook or fixture to dry between uses. Please remove
it from the bathtub before using the tub to avoid the possibility
of stepping on the plastic ball. If you add more water to the tub
while bathing you may swirl the Aquasplash through the water for
another minute or so to remove any new chlorine.
What is the media used to dechlorinate and treat the water?
1. 2-1/4 oz. KDF Formula 73 Copper-Zinc filament.
2. 1 oz. Virgin American Crystalline Quartz.
What is special about the KDF formula 73 filament?
KDF Formula 73 (F-73) is a specially processed alloy of 70%
copper and 30% zinc. The filament is processed by special
machinery, which produces a fine, hair-like strand of brass only
60 to 80 microns in thickness, about the same as a human hair.
Each Aquasplash contains 2-1/4oz. of F-73 strands, which if
laid end to end would extend over 5000 feet. This provides the
Aquasplash with a great surface area, which in turn accelerates
the electrochemical action of the F-73.
