Sprite Chlorine Reducing Shower Filter

Dr Oz, from the Oprah show says the best thing you can do for your hair is to install a carbon shower filter to rid your shower water of CHLORINE.

World's best seller, holder of 14 patents.The Sprite Shower Filter combines patented high strength construction with an exclusive patented filtration media which is extremely effective when using hot water. The high Output Sprite Shower Filter removes chlorine for over one year or 15,000 gallons - replacement cartridge are easy to fit.

Chlorgon & KDF - The only non-carbon filtering media to remove:

• Free Chlorine (Cl^-)
• Combined Chlorine (Sodium Hypochlorite)
• Hydrogen Sulfide (rotten egg smell)
• Iron oxide (rust water)
• Dirt, sediment
• Odors
• Plus, it's pH balanced

In the shower environment, chlorine can either be in liquid or gas state. At higher water temperatures in the enclosed shower stall, free-chlorine moves from the liquid to the gas state, where it vaporizes and subsequently, inhaled. The United States regulates all showerhead flow at 2.5 gallons per minute. Thus, the science behind shower filtration must take into account the unique situation in the shower, including temperature, flow rate and volume.

Sprite shower filters work on a similar principle to a Catalytic Converter in an automobile. In shower filtration free-chlorine is converted into a harmless chloride. The scientific name for this chemical reaction is known as "Reduction-Oxidation", commonly referred to as Redox.

Redox reactions can be chemically complex. Simply stated, during a Redox reaction electrons are transferred between molecules, creating new elements. For instance, when free-chlorine comes in contact with the filtration media, it is changed into a benign, water-soluble chloride. This reaction changes free-chlorine to a larger chloride element. Too large to evaporate or be absorbed by the skin. It is then carried harmlessly through the water supply.

Redox Filtration Medias
Chlorgon is one type of Redox filtration media. Researched, developed and patented by David Farley, CEO of Sprite Industries, Inc., Chlorgon converts free chlorine and some combined chlorines, such as sodium hypochlorite (liquid swimming pool chlorine), to a harmless chloride. Chlorgon also works well in a variety of temperatures from hot to cold. Chlorgon is also the active ingredient for Sprite's Mediterranean Blue: De-chlorinating Bath Salts.

Kinetic Degradation Fluxion, or KDF, is another type of Redox filtration media. Researched, developed and patented by Don Heskett, founder of KDF fluid treatment, KDF converts free chlorine to a harmless chloride. This media of high-purity copper-zinc formulations is used in pretreatment, primary treatment, and wastewater  applications. Patented KDF process media are 100 percent recyclable and contain no chemical additives. Hospitals, restaurants, municipal water treatment facilities, and homes rely on KDF process media to safely reduce or remove  free chlorine, iron oxides and hydrogen sulfide.

All Sprite filtered shower products contain both Chlorgon, and KDF filtration medias.
