Here’s the deal: The chemicals we use in our hot tubs and spas are all harsh and very toxic. It’s in the water we soak in and the air we breath while in the tub. So when you’re sitting in your hot tub without a care in the world and all of a sudden you start coughing and sneezing or eyes burn or get asthma attacks or itchy skin or or rashes or faded suites or any number of unpleasant side effects.
Unfortunately, this happens more than you think and the cause is typically from the same culprit. A gas called Chloramine.
The reality though is that there’s a better option now. By harvesting the free copper ion and suspending it through our patented process, we can eliminate the need for the toxic levels of Chloramine and enjoy a natural, rejuvenating soak in water we can be comfortable in and WITHOUT the chemicals or smells.
What is Chloramine?
Chloramine is released from your tub when chlorine is combined with nitrogen and ammonia, all elements that are present in your hot tub. When this happens, it releases the strong chlorine odor you typically smell from a hot tub or swimming pool. This gets in your eyes, down your throat, and into your lungs.
Why is it in my Hot Tub?
There are a variety of factors that cause Chloramine to gas off and “hover” over the waterline. Chloramine gases can form when there are contaminants added to the water, this happens when people get in the hot tub and any skin and hair products, lotion, sunscreen, sweat, etc get released into the water.
Chloramine gases can also form because of interaction with other compounds found in traditional sanitation methods, such as using chlorine, bromine, and chlorine-free shock tablets. High concentrations of traditional chlorine-based sanitation methods along with higher water temperatures and “jetted” water movement/bubbles also cause the emission of Chloramine gases.
The Dangers of Chloramine
Not only does Chloramine smell bad, it also can cause harmful repertory side effects. I can make your eyes burn, make your skin itch, give you rashes, make you cough and sneeze and feel otherwise terrible. Some people, including my daughter, actually have allergies to these chemicals. That’s why we created iONRx®.
Here’s the deal, as the gas hovers above the water line, anyone in the hot tub will be exposed to the gas and will breathe it in. The Chloramine gas contains evaporated chemicals that can be inhaled and cause irritation to the respiratory tract, which causes throat irritation, coughing, and sneezing. Other side effects may include watery eyes and skin irritation.
There you have it, the next time you start feeling a throat irritation, coughing, and sneezing, it’s because Chloramine gas has been released from any of the above factors.
How Do You Remove Chloramine and Stop All the Coughing, Itching and Lung Problems?
There’s only one all-natural hot tub treatment solution that requires little maintenance and helps reduce up to 90% of the use of harmful chemicals. iONRx® is a revolutionary hot tub cleaner that requires only the lowest amount of chlorine (the same amount found in drinking water) to help oxidize the water and does NOT emit any harmful gases when combined with other compounds.
When you typically use chlorine and other sanitizers to treat your hot tub water, it’s more prone to release the harmful Chloramine gas because it encounters other contaminants and the ammonia and nitrogen. iONRx® is eco-friendly, non-toxic and will help reduce the chances of you breathing in Chloramine. If you want to safely treat your hot tub water, order iONRx® today!
