Hi. I have also seen the claims about vitamin C and chloride creating hydrochloric acid. Through a link provided in a review on Amazon, I discovered what appears to be an INDEPENDENT (unbiased) report on this. Here’s the link to the report: http://www.swwrc.wsu.edu/conference/Papers/Greg_Peterka.pdf

It concludes that the Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) chloride filters are indeed safe, and that the combination does NOT create hydochloric acid. It creates “a milder and safer acid, dehydroascorbic acid.”

The article also states that, “Vitamin C was recently certified by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) for the Integra
Chemical Company as a recognized chlorine neutralizer. NSF certification is mandatory for every chemical that is used to treat water consumed by humans.” I found the article to be very helpful.

No response at all from that website, which means I will never order anything from them. Their site seems unprofessional and I guess their customer service matches it.
No reply, no buy.

Justin,
I did notice that. Apparently that VitaC Filter has essential oils in the cartdridge. Thats the last thing I want since I am fragrance sensitive. I don’t want to add anything to the water I just want to remove the bad stuff. I sent them an email to see if they can make it without the fragrance so lets see if they respond.

The Aquasana didn’t remove chloramines so back it went.
Tried a Sonaki Shower Filter. Leaked at the pipe no matter how much plumbers tape I used. The shower spray was really good though. Filter lasted only 2 weeks! That would cost $200/year-not good.
Get this, the second filter and the entire 5 pack of filters I got were all defective-no hole on the bottom! So, water was going around the filter not through it. Back it went.
This is very frustrating.

I would also like to know if there is a combo. I’ve used the vitashower filter and had problems with the last time I tried them. They all leaked and one of them never changed color in the clear window to orange so I didn’t even know if the vitamin c was released. They are made in China and the build quality is unfortunately very poor.
I am currently trying an aquasana filter and it doesn’t seem to be helping my dry scalp but the build quality is very good. I don’t think it can reduce chloramines however.

Does the Vitashower also have a filter to eliminate or reduce the VOC’s, heavy metals and such? If not, do you know of a shower filter with the dual Vitamin C filter and Ceramic or chlorogon filter to do such?
