The Sprite High-Output Shower Filter is the strongest shower filter available on the market. Chlorine is universally used to disinfect water, killing bacteria and other microorganisms. But once it arrives in your home, chlorine can negatively affect your 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 for 15 years, Sprite has earned more than 18 U.S. and international patents. Millions own water filters to remove chlorine from drinking water. But 50% of chlorine exposure occurs in the shower. Unfiltered shower water can increase their exposure to chlorine by absorption through the skin and by inhalation of chlorine vapors. 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. Scientific studies have linked chlorinated water to potentially harmful health conditions. Chlorine vaporizes in hot shower water and, when inhaled in the lungs, is tranferred into the blood stream. Sprite Shower Filtration reduces harsh chlorine vapors -- so you can breathe easier. Shower filtration by Sprite is a logical addition for people concerned about home envireonmental issues including the quality of water and air in their homes. Help protect your family's personal environment with a Sprite filter in every shower. As an added benefit the conditioned water leaves hair more manageable. Less soap or shampoo is required and perms and hair color treatments last longer.

Sprite High Output KDF Chlorine Massaging Shower Head and Filter

This fitler works great. It has made a big difference to our skin and hair, and so I am sure our overall health as well. I have one in each shower in my house.

However, after only two months the nut which joins the shower head to the filter unit broke on both. I contacted the seller who asked me to send them to him to see. I did all the way from Oregon to Rhode Is. at my expense. He looked at it and told me I must have smashed it somehow and that was that. All I asked was for a new shower head, as the filter was fine. I not only had to spend my own money to send the item back, but I then had to go out and buy new shower heads! I was very unhappy and so I cannot recommended buying from this seller.

I also live in the DC area, and it's funny to me how many of the reviews are from DC people. My problem was a little different. There's a lot of iron, or iron bacteria in the water. It was staining my bathroom pink/red. Condensation would build up on the bathroom walls from the shower, and then red streaks would run down. It looked like the Amityville horror house! Also, the bathroom seemed particularly prone to mold, which required a lot of diligent cleaning.

I wasn't sure if this shower filter could solve problems like this, but I figured for $40 it would be worth it to not have to clean the bathroom constantly. (also it was kind of embarrassing to have guests over). Well, sure enough it stopped the red buildup. What I wasn't expecting was it also stopped the mold in it's tracks. I guess their was something in the water feeding it? I don't really know. With the filter you're supposed to turn it over after 6 months, and then after a year replace it. Well, for me it only lasted a total of 6 months, but I think that might be because I have such terrible water quality. It's still absolutely worth it and I highly recommend!

Same here, doubted it would work but wanted to try and bought a set of cholrine test strips along with it to check. Anyway, this actually does work!

The showerhead arrived even before the test strips and I could already breathe the difference in my bathroom, and started to be a believer.

After checking the results carefully though, I determined that it works very well for free chlorine, but NOT well for or in the presence of chloramines.

If you have high chloramine content, this isn't ideal for you. Vitashower is better in that case (no it's not a scam - vitamins really are used for real dechlorination, look it up online).

Even if you have chloramines and it doesn't remove everything, it does make the water feel better, so whatever else it is doing to the water feels good.
