What is the Effect of Chlorine in the Shower?
Chlorine is a toxic gas which attacks living cells. It was used during World War I as a chemical warfare agent. It is used today as a additive to drinking water to kill harmful micro-organisms. While this can be an important health benefit, Chlorine itself is far from beneficial: it attacks organic material, such as the skin and skin oils, which dries out the skin and hair. Because Chlorine vaporizes along with the hot water, it is inhaled into the lungs. It is also absorbed into the skin. According to some experts, 5 times more Chlorine enters the body through the skin during a shower than enters through drinking 8 glasses of chlorinated tap water!

How Does the Premium Shower Filter Work?
A patented mixture of zinc and copper called KDF-55, plus crystal Quartz, converts Chlorine into Zinc Chloride. Zinc is considered to be helpful in alleviating dandruff and is used in anti-dandruff shampoos. Unlike carbon, KDF stands up to hot water and is very effective in filtering out Chlorine, odors and dirt particles. KDF possesses strong bacteriostatic character, inhibiting the growth of bacteria, fungus, algae and mildew. The Premium Shower Filter contains 16 oz. of KDF
and 2 oz. of crystal Quartz for enhanced performance.

How Long will the Premium Shower Filter Last?
On average, the filter will last about one year. Initially, the filter will remove 98% of the Chlorine. Over time, the removal percentage declines until it is at about 87% after one year. Accordingly, we recommend annual cartridge replacement.

Replacement filter cartridges are available from the retailer where the filter was purchased, or can be ordered from Greener Country 1-877-680-6010.
Sending in the warranty card allows New Wave Enviro to send a reminder when it is time to change cartridges. (Customer names / addresses are Not sold to any company).

Premium Shower Filter- Installation and Operation

1. Unscrew and remove the existing shower head from the shower arm (1/2 in. pipe).
2. To minimize water drips, wrap the included Teflon tape around the shower arm and the filter (optional).
3. Screw the Premium Shower Filter onto the shower arm and screw the shower head onto the Shower Filter. Hand Tighten Only- over tightening can crack the filter housing.
4. The Premium Shower Filter is now ready for use. Simply turn on the water as usual. The very first time the Shower Filter is used, the water may take a minute or so to flow through.
5. Whenever the Premium Shower Filter is opened to replace the cartridge, the o-rings there to keep the filter from leaking should be properly seated in their channels, and rubbed with petroleum jelly to keep them supple. Petroleum jelly can also be used on the threads of the housing.

The Premium Shower Filter housing is warranted for 1 year from date of purchase for defects or cracks. The filter cartridge is warranted for one year from any manufacturing malfunction.
