Where do the other particles that ions attach to come from?
They can come from the small amount of salt needed to start a bath. For example, if the operator used some Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate), then that would be a source of sulfate particles and we would expect to see some blue color. Other particles can also come from the natural minerals already present in the water. Therefore, we always recommend running a bath alone without anyone in it to see what colors form naturally. The other source of compounds in the water comes from the wastes and toxins of the person with their feet in the bath. This is what accounts for the wide variation in color we have observed in some Detox sessions.
