Can Vitamin C Remove Chlorine and Chloramine from Shower and Bath Water?

September 19, 2019 1 min read

1000 mg of Vitamin C dissolved in bath water will instantly neutralize chlorine or chloramine in a medium size bathtub.
Vitamin C is the most effective medium to use in shower filters for removing chloramine from shower water.
Vitamin C will decrease the pH of water which is an added benefit for bathing purposes as skin and hair require a slightly acidic pH (4.5 – 5.5).
There are various forms of Vitamin C including ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbate.
Vitamin C is effective a neutralizing chorine and chloramine but will not remove disinfection by-products such as THMs and HAAs. A whole house filter containing the appropriate media is the best way to intercept these disinfection by-products.
