Product Features
You
absorb more chlorine through your skin in one shower than what you
typically drink all day. Chlorine can make skin dry and flaky. It can
make hair dry and brittle, and ruin hair coloring and permanents.
Chlorine often irritates the eyes and lungs.
The
Universal Water KDF shower filter by CanPro uses the patented KDF
copper-zinc alloy (manufactured by
KDF Fluid Treatment, Inc.), in a specially designed
back-washable, replaceable cartridge. With this technology, our shower
filter has been shown to effectively remove 97+% of this damaging
chlorine for up to 12 months for two people. It has been tested by an
independent lab to ANSI/NSF 42-2000 Class I to 10,000 gallons (click

to see laboratory test results). KDF can also remove low amounts of
iron and sulphur and control the mold and mildew in your
shower.
KDF
is extremely well suited for shower water filtration with an operating
temperature range up to 212º. In fact, as water temperature increases,
the efficiency of the KDF increases. Carbon, used in some competitive
brands, is most effective in water temperatures between 50º and 80º,
and in fact can start to "off-load" trapped contaminants in hot water.
With the typical shower water temperature of 95º to 105º, it is easy to
see why KDF is the best media choice!
The special interior design of the filter causes the KDF to be
"swirled", enhancing contact with the water which improves efficiency.

the height 1 1/2", allowing for more head room compared to other
filters.
A unique feature is the "Quick Flush" back-wash.
Simply twisting the cartridge to the "Flush" mark will reverse the flow
"back-wash" to release the sediment that can cause other filters to
fail prematurely. A good example of this benefit is New York City,
where century-old pipes contribute to excessively high sediment levels.
While non-backwash shower filters were clogging up in less than two
months, this shower filter is providing the full year of service!
Must
be used with a 2.5 gpm (or less) showerhead for best results (we offer
a great 2.0 gpm water-saver
showerhead as an option). Replacing the cartridge is a snap,
too. Simply unscrew the holding ring and remove and replace the
cartridge!
