Chlorine is universally used to chemically disinfect water. It kills germs, bacteria and other microorganisms. Chlorine readily passes through cell walls, and attaches to fatty acids in the cell, disrupting life-sustaining functions. The human body is composed of billions of similar cells, which also absorb chlorine. It may be necessary to disinfect our tap water with chlorine, but with today's technology, we do not have to be exposed to it.

The quality of our drinking water can be improved, by filtering chlorine from the tap water or drinking bottled water. However, only part of the problem has been addressed.

One half of our daily chlorine exposure is from showering. Not only is chlorine absorbed through the skin, but also vaporizes in the shower, inhaled into the lungs and transferred directly into the blood system. In fact, chlorine exposure form one shower is equal to an entire day's amount of drinking the same water. Therefore, drinking filtered or bottled water addresses only half the problem. Sprite Shower Filters offer the answer for the complete solution.

Sprite Industries Incorporated is a 27 year-old manufacturer of electronic water test instruments and filtration products. From the beginning, Sprite recognized that even though carbon was an excellent filtration media for drinking waters, it could not effectively perform at the higher temperatures, flow rates and volumes found in the shower.

In 1987, Sprite introduced, "Shower-Mite," the first non-carbon shower filter. Sprite has earned more than 15 U.S. and International patents and is the premier authority in shower filtration technology. Today, with a complete line of shower filtration products, Sprite continues to set the pace and lead the way.

Shower Chlorine-Free with Sprite: Chlorine is universally used to disinfect water, killing bacteria and other microorganisms. But once it arrives in your home, chlorine can negatively affect you family's long-term health, comfort and even personal appearance. Sprite Shower Filters with patented Chlorgon non-carbon media - outperform other filters for chlorine removal in hot shower conditions. The world leader in shower filtration technology since 1987, Sprite has earned more than 18 U.S. and international patents.

For Softer Hair and Smoother Skin: Millions own water filters to remove chlorine from drinking water. But 50% of chlorine exposure occurs in the shower. Unfiltered shower water can double their exposure to chlorine by absorption through the skin and by inhalation of chlorine vapours. Sprite filters chlorine for softer hair and smoother skin. Now you can fight brittle hair, dry skin and dandruff - where health and beauty begin - right in your shower.

Breathe easier with Sprite: Chlorine vaporizes in hot shower water and, when inhaled in the lungs, is transferred into the blood stream. Scientific studies have linked chlorinated water to potentially harmful by-products that can, over time, contribute to such health-threatening conditions as cancer of the bladder, liver, stomach and colon. Heart disease, high blood pressure and allergies have also been linked with chlorine. Sprite Shower Filtration helps reduce these risks - so you can breathe easier.

For Today's Healthy Home: Shower filtration by Sprite is a logical addition for people concerned about home environmental issues including the quality of water and air in their homes. Help protect your home's personal environment and entire family with a Sprite filter in every shower.

• The High Output Sprite Shower Filter removes chlorine for 12 to 18 months or 60,000 litres (15,000 gallons.) After which time, simply fit a replacement cartridge and be set for another 12 to 18 months or 60,000 litres!
• Helps dry and brittle hair become softer and more manageable.
• Low flow showerhead design saves money.
• Lasts ten times longer than most other filters.

Kinetic Degradation Fluxion (KDF) is a high-purity copper-zinc formulation that uses a basic chemical process known as redox (oxidation / reduction) to remove chlorine, lead, mercury, iron, and hydrogen sulphide from water supplies. The process also has a mild anti-bacterial, algaecitic, and fungicitic, effect and may reduce the accumulation of lime scale.

KDF process media is used in pre-treatment and primary treatment applications to supplement or replace existing technologies in order to extend system life and to reduce heavy metal contamination, chlorine and hydrogen sulphide. It is often combined with other technologies to achieve superior overall results. Because of its effectiveness at higher water temperatures, it is often used on shower water filtration systems to remove chlorine and other contaminants.

The technology was developed by KDF Fluid Treatment, Inc. in the mid 1980s and was patented in 1987. KDF filter media meets EPA and Food and Drug Administration standards for levels of zinc and copper in potable water, and is certified by NSF International to its Standard 61 for drinking water.

Different from carbon’s limited adsorption capability, KDF creates an electrochemical environment. This galvanic action allows for the reversal of the original chlorine creation process. This electrochemical reversal converts Free Available Chlorine to a harmless and soluble calcium chloride. For those not familiar , KDF™ media is a brass alloy (copper and zinc). These dissimilar metals allow for the creation of the galvanic action. This principle allows for long term usage impeded only by sediment or particulate matter that might occlude the surface, thereby reducing the media’s ability to generate electricity.

Activated carbon filters contain particles of carbon that have been treated to increase their surface area and increase their ability to adsorb a wide range of contaminants. Coconut shell carbon and bituminous (coal) carbon are the most common sources of carbon in activated carbon filters. The raw carbon source is slowly heated in the absence of air to produce a high carbon material. Passing oxidizing gases through the material at extremely high temperatures activates the carbon. As the water passes over the positively charged carbon surface, the negative ions of the contaminants are drawn to the surface of the carbon granules. This is known as ADSORPTION [to adhere] and can be closely compared in principle to magnetism.

As a general rule the adsorption ability of Activated Carbon depends largely on a number of factors. They are as follows:

TURBIDITY: How clean is the water from fine particulate matter. The cleaner the incoming water, the greater is the ability to adsorb.

FLOW RATE: Gushing water is not filtered as well as water flowing at slower speeds. Example, if you were to throw a nail past the head of a magnet the odds of it adhering would be slight. Carbon is primarily used in drinking water filters which have a lower flow rate of ½ to 1 GPM (Gallons per minute) Water entering a shower filter is usually at a higher flow rate of approximately 2.5 GPM.( 5 time faster than through a water filter), far too fast for proper adsorption. Even using cold water, a minimum of 5 times the amount of carbon would be necessary to filter the shower water.

CONTACT TIME: Water must be in contact with the activated carbon for a sufficient period of time to allow the activated carbon to effectively adsorb the contaminants. With a cartridge size of approximately 2.5 to 3 inches, shower filters containing carbon do not contain sufficient media to adsorb at the above mentioned 2.5 GPM flow rate. Most drinking filters produce .5-1 GPM but shower usage ranges from 2 - 2.5 GPM. (2 - 5 times greater).

TEMPERATURE: Carbon is a cold water media. It is most effective at temperature ranges of 50° - 80°(F). At higher temperatures, carbon becomes ineffective. Tap water, where carbon works best, has temperatures ranges from 60°- 75° (F). Showering temperatures typically range from 85° - 105° (F). Hot water should NEVER be run through a carbon filter, because hot water will tend to release, or “off-load”, trapped contaminants into the water flow potentially making the water leaving the filter more contaminated than the water going in.

Bacterial Concerns with Carbon Shower filters

The major problem associated with carbon in any form is bacterial contamination. Wet activated carbon, richly infused with trapped organic matter, provides an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. High bacterial levels occur when the carbon is fully saturated and then let to stand [e.g., overnight]. As the water temperature inside the carbon cartridge rises, as with warm shower water, bacteria breeding escalates. Activated Carbon cannot hold onto bacteria, so when water flow is reintroduced a contaminated sample can be output. Bacteria gets into the activated carbon filter in the first place because disinfection at the water treatment plant does not guarantee the destruction of all bacteria.
