Benefits of Using the Sprite High Output Shower Filter Chrome

Using the Sprite High Output Shower Filter Chrome offers numerous benefits for your health and well-being:

Healthier Skin and Hair

• Reduces Chlorine Exposure: Chlorine in shower water can strip natural oils from your skin and hair, leading to dryness and irritation. The Sprite filter effectively removes chlorine, helping to maintain the natural moisture balance of your skin and hair.
• Protects Colour-Treated Hair: Chlorine can cause colour-treated hair to fade faster. By removing chlorine, the filter helps preserve the vibrancy of your hair colour.

Improved Respiratory Health

• Reduces Inhalation of Chlorine Vapours: When chlorine is heated in the shower, it can vaporise and be inhaled, potentially causing respiratory issues. The filter reduces chlorine levels, making the air in your shower safer to breathe.

Enhanced Shower Experience

• Softer Water: The filter media helps reduce water hardness, making it easier to lather soap and shampoo and leaving your skin and hair feeling softer.
• Odor Reduction: The filter removes odours caused by chlorine and other contaminants, providing a more pleasant showering experience.

How to Install the Sprite High Output Shower Filter Chrome

Installing the Sprite High Output Shower Filter Chrome is a simple process that can be completed in just a few steps. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Prepare the Area: Ensure that your shower area is clean and dry. Gather the necessary materials, including the Sprite High Output Shower Filter Chrome, thread tape, and a wrench if needed.
2. Remove the Existing Showerhead: Use a wrench to unscrew the existing showerhead from the shower arm. Be sure to hold the shower arm steady to avoid damaging the plumbing.
3. Apply Thread Tape: Wrap thread tape around the threads of the shower arm to ensure a secure, leak-free connection.
4. Attach the Shower Filter: Screw the Sprite High Output Shower Filter Chrome onto the shower arm. Hand-tighten the filter, and then use a wrench to give it an additional quarter turn if necessary.
5. Reattach the Showerhead: Screw your existing showerhead onto the outlet side of the filter. Again, hand-tighten first, and then use a wrench to secure it.
6. Check for Leaks: Turn on the water and check for any leaks around the connections. If you notice any leaks, tighten the connections slightly until they stop.

Installation Tips

• Do Not Over-Tighten: Over-tightening can damage the threads and cause leaks. Hand-tightening followed by a slight turn with a wrench is usually sufficient.
• Use Thread Tape: Thread tape helps create a watertight seal and prevents leaks.
