This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEA curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Greywater.

Municipal water often has chlorine in it.  Let's see how showering in non-chlorinated water goes...



Minimum requirements:
  - Use non-chlorinated water to take a shower
        - May be purchased, properly filtered, off-gassed, collected, etc

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 mins) and text as appropriate:
  - Describe your water and how you know it's chlorine free
         - If off-gassed, report the type of chlorine your municipality uses (chlorine, chlorine dioxide, hypochlorite, chloramine, etc) and how you know you resolved it correctly
  - Your showering apparatus
  - Taking the shower
  - Report any up or downsides to using cleaner water

Clarifications:
  - "Showering" under a clean waterfall is acceptable
  - Taking a bath in a lake, river or stream is not

Hello!
Am I doing this right?
This is my first time trying to submit for a BB.
I’ve installed two of these shower filters from hydroviv on our showers, and they’re under the sink filter on our kitchen sink too to replace our berkey filter.
Let me know if I’m missing anything!
Thanks.

Ok take two.
In addition to the above photo of the installation, I believe my missing BB application info is:
- I took a shower! (No pics or video please)
- this screenshot of my filter website is how I know the filter eliminates chlorine

Thank you for your consideration.

Note: Getting closer.  Need a pic of showering.  Could just be the water on and your hand getting splashed in the stream if you want
