Sprit uses Chlorgon and kdf media in their shower filters
What is chlorgon?
Chlorgon is one type of Redox filtration media. It was researched and developed and patented by David Farley, CEO of sprite Industries, Inc.
Chlorgon converts free-chlorine into harmless chloride. This is known as Reduction-Oxidation (Redox). During Redox reaction electrons are transferred between molecules, which create new elements.
When free-chlorine comes in contact with chlorgon it is changed into a water soluble chloride. The reaction is free-chlorine is changed into a larger chloride element that is to large to be absorbed by your skin or evaporate. So it is harmlessly carried through your water supply.
Chlorgon works well in a variety of temperatures from hot water to cold water.
What is KDF?
Sprite shower filters also have KDF media in them another type of Redox that was researched and patented by Don Heskett, founder of KDF fluid treatment.
KDF also converts free chlorine into harmless chloride. KDF media is a high-purity copper-zinc formulation, it will also reduce or remove iron oxides, (Rust water) hydrogen sulfide (rotten-egg odor), heavy metals and control microorganisms.
KDF is 100% recyclable and has no chemical additives, many hospitals, restaurants, municipal water treatment facilities and homes rely on the KDF process to remove contaminants from their drinking water. Read more on KDF
With a Sprite Shower Filter you will have softer and smoother skin and you can fight brittle hair and dandruff. You will also ease your mind by knowing you and your family is not at risk of health problems, from inhaling chlorine into your lungs which is transferred into your blood stream.
In fact, chlorine exposure from one shower is equal to an entire day's amount of drinking the same water. And you may very well inhale more chlorine in shower water than you ingest by drinking it. So, drinking filtered water addresses only half the problem.
The EPA believes there is a measurable level of chloroform gas in most homes around the country. They believe the cause is showering in chlorinated water. When vaporized in hot water, it is also an irritant to the lungs, eyes, throat and sinuses. Scientific studies have linked chlorine to cancer of the bladder, liver, stomach, rectum, and colon, as well as heart disease.
So why take that risk? For the small investment a shower filter is, you will know you and your family are protected from chlorine and other contaminants that might be in your shower water.
