If you have a low pressure or 'gravity' system with a low 'head', you can easily alter your Sprite Shower Filter to allow more water to pass through it.
WARNING: The warranty is made void if you tamper with the shower filter!
The following must only be undertaken by a competent handy person!
|
- Step 1: Undo parts as follows... (Take note of the "O Ring" at each end of the actual filter, inside parts 1 and 3. Do not damage or lose these. Make sure they are properly seated when you reassemble the filter.)
|
 |
- Step 2: There will now be four parts. Put an arrow on the actual filter showing the direction that the water flowed through it, so it can be put together correctly.
|
 |
- Step 3: Remove rubber washer from part 1. (Note: If you remove this washer, you may require plumbers threading tape to prevent water leaking past the pipe and filter housing.)
|
 |
- Step 4: Temporarily remove rubber washer from part 4, then remove actual water flow restrictor as shown below.
|
 |
- Step 5: With the washer and restrictor removed (see below), you can now see the tiny hole in the shower rose (part 4) that the water must pass through. If you require even more pressure / water flow, carefully drill this to a larger size, 8mm maximum.
- WARNING: The warranty is made void if you drill this hole or return shower filter with parts missing!
- If you drill the shower rose, rinse with water and make sure all swarf comes back through this hole, so as not to clog the rose jets.
|
 |
- Step 6: To put the filter together again, hold part 1 in your hand and make sure "O Ring" is in place.
- Insert shower filter (part 2) downwards into the housing (parts 1 & 3), making sure "O Rings" are intact.
- Connect the rose head (part 4)
- Install assembled filter in shower and test. You may need plumbers threading tape on the inlet thread if you removed the original washer.
