You’re so right I absolutely HATE my sprite with an undying passion. The next one I’ll try the first one you had New Wave Enviro shower filter thanks so much!

My second the comments of Claudia above, on the Sprite Shower Filter. It was like no filter at all. The water even tasted and smelled like unfiltered. IMHO it is a product that should not be on the market. I wonder if the manufacturer knows the product sucks, but doesn’t care.

The Vitamin C shower filter did not work either. I suspected it was a joke. Filtering water without actually filtering it. Right. Recommend avoiding the Vitamin C ones. Anyways, we had much better results with Aquasana. That is our choice, so far.

I have tried the Paragon and the Srite shower filters. I have since found out that our local (NJ) water supply uses chloramines NOT free chlorine for sanitizing the water. The paragon filters did help to filter the chloramines,but didn’t last very long (approx 2 months with 2 people in the house ). The Sprite shower filter did not work on our water at all. I coukld tell this by the results on my skin (very dry and itchy). Of course, now I know why– the KDF mechanism dfoes not filter out chloramines. Since discussing this with others, I have been told to put in a whole house chloramine filter. Does anyone know if the whole house filters that are available actually filter out chloramines or do most of them just filter the free chlorine?

I wonder if anybody tries the ceramic ionic shower filters like kenrico or Saiseido that claim not needing replacement filter

Here are some facts for you: http://www.swwrc.wsu.edu/conference/Papers/Greg_Peterka.pdf

The author of the above paper states that hydrochloric is NOT created when dechlorinating with Vitamin C.

Where is the info on the vitashower sf-1 containing ceramic and other filters in addition to C coming from? It says nothing about that on their site and the filters don’t have water coming out from the bottom like this diagram shows.

I have a vitashower VS-1 which is from a few years ago when there was some dispute and the companies split apart. I will probably go with the SF-1 even though the form factor (hanging down in the way) and the plastic is a nuisance. You can’t just put any shower head on it. Since the plastic parts are thicker, and many shower heads are now full of plastic connectors spray painted chrome, things don’t fit together. Also, the one I have is cracked and sprays water everywhere from the connector to the pipe.

Oooops! I meant to say 100s of miles, not 1000s. Pardon me.

After dinner at a friend’s house a few days ago, we watched the documentary “Flow”. Water wars aren’t off in the future, they are taking place right now.

It seems as though nearly all of our water supply is contaminated now with one thing or another, if not multiple things. Some nasties travel 1000s of miles with water vapor and rain down again on us. If you are interested in water issues and your local library has it or it’s showing at the local indy theater, I recommend a viewing. If you are REALLY interested in water issues, you may want to rent it or buy it.

I am so glad I decided not to have children.
