Chlorination is a long established public health practice necessary for the disinfection of drinking water. Consumers are aware of the health benefit drinking filtered water can provide. However, 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. Shower Filtration helps reduce these risks (by 99% chlorine removal) - so you can breathe easier.



In addition to health benefits of filtering water, there are cosmetic benefits. Symptoms of chlorine exposure are dry and/or flaking skin, dry brittle hair and red irritated eyes. Filtering the shower water reduces these symptoms. Skin and hair feel softer and eyes become less red and irritated. 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.

Sprite Shower X-Technology

All Sprite filtered shower products contain both Chlorgon, and KDF 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 Degreadation Fluxion or KDF: 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. (The chloride molecule is too large to evaporate or be absorbed by the skin and is washed away down the drain.) 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.
