This Sprite Shower Filtration system has been tested and Certified by
NSF International against NSF /ANSI Standard 177 for the reduction of
free available chlorine. The concentration of free available chlorine in
water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less than or
equal to the permissible limit for water leaving the system, as
specified in NSF/ANSI 177. This system has not been evaluated for free
available chlorine reduction performance in the presence of chloramines.
Free available chlorine reduction performance may be impacted by the
presence of chloramines in the water supply. Please contact your local
water utility to determine if chloramines are used in treating your
water.
Chlorgon.
Chlorgon converts free-chlorine and some combined chlorines
into harmless chloride. This is done using a chemical reaction known as
"Reduction-Oxidation", often called Redox. Redox reactions transfer
electrons between molecules of the filtration media and molecules found
in the water. A molecule of free chlorine is transformed to a larger
chloride, which is water soluble and unable to be absorbed through the
skin. The Chlorgon Redox reaction occurs at a wide range of water
temperatures, so it's an excellent complement to KDF-55, which works
best at warmer temperatures. Sprite shower filters use both KDF-55 and
Chlorgon filtration. This combination provides the most complete removal
of combined chlorine and free chlorine at the widest range of shower
temperatures.
