Vitashower SF-1 Vitamin C Shower Filter
Inspired by Mother Nature, this remarkable shower filter uses the antioxidant Vitamin C to remove 100% of the chlorine and chloramine from your shower water. Unlike most standard shower filters available today that rely on exotic metals or activated carbon, Vitamin C produces perfectly chlorine free water without any of the shortcomings seen with competing products.
Since Vitamin C is a natural antioxidant and chlorine is a known oxidizing agent, something miraculous happens when the two meet. The Vitamin C essentially sacrifices itself by giving up one of its electrons to the chlorine molecule. This simple chemical process is called reduction/oxidation reaction, or Redox for short, and occurs very quickly. By the time the water touches your skin, the chlorine has been changed into harmless saline and the Vitamin C has been converted into a beneficial type of dehydroascorbate that your cells may then convert back into usable Vitamin C. Both of these byproducts are considered to be harmless to humans, wildlife and the environment and may even aid in the rejuvenation of damaged skin cells.
Using Vitamin C to dechlorinate water is nothing new. In fact, it's been used since the 1970's as an EPA approved method for removing hazardous disinfectants from waste water prior to release back into oceans, rivers, streams and lakes. Most aquatic wildlife is extremely sensitive to chlorine. High enough concentrations of this disinfectant can place tremendous stresses on entire ecosystems. Environmentally, Vitamin C is favored because it produces no dangerous byproducts in properly treated and maintained water supplies and is even considered a benefit by many experts.
This is one powerful shower filter that has the potential to forever change the way you and your family take showers. No longer must you expose yourself to overwhelming chlorine fumes and odors while simply taking your daily shower. You don't have to be content with the dry, red and itchy skin as a result of chlorine exposure. Say goodbye to those red eyes, difficulty breathing and uncontrollable sneezing fits while in the shower. Do you have brittle, unmanageable, color treated hair that loses it's luster and shine almost instantly? It's not your shampoo or conditioner, it's the chlorine that's to blame. Stop trying to treat these symptoms with additive laden commercial products designed to minimize the effects of chlorine to your skin and hair. Give your body a break and make the Natural Choice!

Shower Filter Frequently Asked Questions
Will the vitamin c shower filter reduce my water pressure once installed?
Because this shower filter operates on the bypass principle, there should be no noticeable change in your water pressure or flow rate.
|
Is the performance of this shower filter dependent on water pressure or temperature?
The vitamin c shower filter performs equally well with any water temperature, hot or cold. It will also perform flawlessly with a water flow rate between 1.0 - 4.0 gallons per minute.
|
Will my existing shower head be compatible with this shower filter? What if I have a hand held shower fixture?
This shower filter is designed to be compatible with all fixed mounted and hand held units that conform to the 1/2" US standard. If you are in an older home with plumbing that is not up to current code, you may simply purchase an adapter at any hardware store that will allow your shower supply pipe to accept all modern plumbing fixtures.
|
About how long should each shower filter last?
We estimate a real world usage of up to 6 months in a two person household. This is based on taking two 10 minute showers per day at a flow rate that doesn't exceed 2.5 gallons per minute.
|
How do I know when to change the vitamin c shower filter?
There is a small, round, transparent window built into the bottom of each vitamin c shower filter. Through this observation window you can actually see the vitamin crystals inside the unit. These crystals look very similar in size and texture to regular table salt. Once you can no longer see any vitamin crystals through this window, you know it's time to purchase a new shower filter.
|
Are there any tips to help extend the life the shower filter?
As with any shower filter, your personal shower habits will play a major role in determining exactly how much mileage you can expect from each vitamin c shower filter. Aside from keeping your time in the shower to a minimum, the use of a 2.5 gallon per minute shower head will also help by regulating how much water is being moved though the shower filter. The use of a shower control valve may also help by allowing you to temporarily reduce the flow of water down to a trickle while lathering up.
