Probably you have heard that you are likely to take more chlorine into your body from your shower than from the water you drink. The skin soaks up chlorine readily, and you breathe in much vapor from chlorine in the shower. A good shower filter protects you and adds to the pleasure of showering. Your skin, your hair, and your eyes will feel the difference.

Shower filter technology is a challenge. Filter carbon, which is the hands-down champion at chlorine removal in drinking water filters, has limited effectiveness in shower filters, where a small amount of the filtering agent is required to handle a large amount of water very  quickly. Another complication is the added challenge of hot water.

Because of these problems, most shower filter makers rely on a filtering medium called KDF.  KDF is a granular metallic substance that under  proper conditions converts chlorine to harmless chloride.  Shower filter sellers typically show impressive charts that demonstrate long-term removal of chlorine. However, if you read the tests carefully, you'll see that they apply to "free chorine" (chlorine that has not combined with with other constituents of water). However, many water systems  now use chloramines, a blend of chlorine and ammonia,  and there is no "free chlorine" at all in the water. Sprite adds a patented mineral salt medium called "Chlorgon"  to the KDF in its shower filters in an effort to deal with certain forms of combined chlorine, but no claim of chloramine removal is made.

We sell only one of the several Sprite filter styles--the one that seems to us the most effective and practical shower filter currently manufactured. It's the HO, or "High Output Shower Filter," which uses a replaceable filter cartridge.  The Sprite cartridge features a KDF/mineral salt combination whose lifespan depends on the ratio of free to total chlorine in the water treated, as well, of course, as the number of showers taken and other variables. The manufacturer recommends replacement after six to eighteen months. We've found that on our local water, eight to twelve months is a reasonable replacement interval.

Sprite avoids the pitfalls of some other shower filters. The case is sturdy and does not crack. We've had no problems at all with premature failure due to blockage and low flow--a common problem with many all-KDF units. It's also the easiest shower filter we've found to install and to service. 

We sell the filter only,  without a shower head, since we've found that people usually  throw away the plastic shower head that comes with shower filters  and replace it with their original shower head. This keeps our price low and lets you keep your present shower head or choose your own from the many styles available at hardware and home stores. It also gives you a choice between a standard or water-saving shower head. We've got a simple, straightforward deal on the Sprite HO shower filter.  It's $41 with shipping paid by us to Continental US addresses,  regardless of the size of the order.  It comes with a filter cartridge installed, but if you'd like to order an extra or two, the price is only $25, and we pay the shipping.  Best of all there's a volume discount of 10% for two and 15% for three or more on both the shower filters and the cartridges.  So combine your order with a neighbor and save a lot.

Our normal method of shipping is UPS ground, so that's how we'll ship your order unless you request an alternate method.  There's a $5 charge for Priority Mail shipping.   It also includes Alaska,   Hawaii, Guam,  and the Virgin Islands and other U.S. territories--anywhere Priority Mail goes.  We ship U.S. Express Airmail to Canada and charge the exact shipping cost.

Please Note: Sprite formerly called the "High Output Shower Filter" the "Replaceable Shower Filter."  It's exactly the same product, and the "High Output" cartridges offered here will fit your "Replaceable" model.   If your unit is called HO or RSF the current HO cartridge will fit it.

Virtually all shower pipes in the United States are a standard size--1/2 inch. Sprite shower filters are 1/2 inch.
