The Sprite Handheld is a few inches higher than that of standard handhelds so taller people can enjoy a comfortable shower without bending. It can also be used as a filter for bath water by taking the detachable head out of its cradle to become a handy tub filler providing chlorine-free water for baths. The Hand Held also has multiple flow settings, plus ‘Spray’ and ‘Massage’ functions. A study by the University of Colorado found that showerheads are a breeding ground for bacteria – a warm, dark haven to grow and multiply. An analysis of 50 showerheads from nine U.S. cities found about 30% contained high levels of a strain of bacteria that can cause lung infections when inhaled or swallowed. The researchers found that the levels of harmful bacteria were 100 times higher in showerheads than in typical household water. This means that when you shower without filtration, you are inhaling chlorine and other gases into your lungs and skin (causing hardening of the arteries, dry skin and hair), and bathing in a cascade of germs. The Filtration Media of Chlorgon with KDF Reduces and Removes Chlorine and Sodium Hyporchlorite, Iron Oxide (rust), Dirt and Sediment, Odors, and helps to Balance the water pH. The High Performance Massage Showerhead can be adjusted from soft to strong output. Sprite''s Handheld uses a smaller filter cartridge than the High Output. Thus cartridges should be changed more frequently at suggested three-month intervals. Replacement is simple. The filter handle opens easily and the cartridge slides in. Suggested Maintenance: The cartridge is reversible. It can be easily rotated to operate in either direction. Although rotating the cartridge is not necessary, periodically reversing the cartridge backwashes the cartridge as it is filtering, ensuring balanced filtration, and reduces the possibility of channeling of the filter medium. Cartridge Life: 3 months.
