How to filter bath water??

[2rubies]

We have a very strong chlorine smell in the bathroom during bath time for the boys, and I'm wondering how I could filter it. We use a faucet filter in the kitchen for drinking water, but I never thought about the tub! Any ideas? DH won't agree to anything costly right now.

Thank you!

i saw on a home improvement show (this old house i think) where they put a filter on their entire house... like at the source of the water to the house.... for the house on the show it was in their garage by their water heater...
i hope that made sense....
but i was a a filter that was supposed to filter all water coming into the house...

i have no clue how much it costs or how much replacement filters would cost though

Thanks! I guess I didn't even know you could do that. But I'm hoping to find something smaller, that won't involve a plumber for now.

Usually bathroom filters are designed for the showerhead, but here is one for the bathtub:

Thank you for the link! Doesn't look like it got very good reviews, but at least I know I can find one!

A small amount of Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) or Sodium Ascorbate will neutralize chlorine completely.

Scroll down to see a water filter chart comparing regular filters with one that uses vitamin C to neutralize the chlorine and chloramines:
