Technical Data:

Are any ingredients harmful or toxic?

No. KDF is commonly used in drinking water and water treatment systems.  The virgin crystalline quartz is washed and sun-cured.  Our polyester material is water industry approved and used in drinking water filters.


How much chlorine will the filter remove?

The CQ-1000 will typically remove more than 90% of the free chlorine.  Reduction levels of 95% or above are not uncommon, but no chlorine reduction shower filter can remove consistently at 95% because of temperature and water flow variations. 

 
What is the filtering media?

KDF 55, crystalline quartz and special polyester sediment trapping material (Poly-flow).


 

The CQ-1000 Dechlorinating Shower Filter



Quality Construction:
Brass threads are standard on all CQ-1000 products

 

How does KDF work in removing chlorine?

As chlorinated water flows through the unit the dissimilar metals in KDF, (copper and zinc), create a galvanic or electrolytic reaction, which causes the two chlorine ions to combine with a zinc ion to form a harmless chloride.  KDF does not hold the chlorine; it changes chlorine from an element into a harmless compound. 
 

How does the Crystal Bath Ball work?

When water comes in contact with the media filament inside the fabric pouch, the chlorine ions in the water are converted into a harmless chloride.  The toxic effects of chlorine, chloriamines and chlorine gas are eliminated with the aid of a special media.  Chlorine is removed quickly when the Crystal Ball is circulated through the bath water.  The crystalline quartz mixed with the media reduces the molecular structure of water into smaller clusters enhancing lathering of soap.

How is it used?

The Crystal Ball for the Bath dechlorinates the water by placing it in the tub and pulling it through the water with the attached 12-inch cord for a few minutes.  Important:  when using bubble bath, oils, epson salts, etc. be sure to add them AFTER  dechlorination is complete.  The 12-inch cord is also used to hang the ball on a hook or fixture to dry between uses.  Please remove it from the bathtub before using the tub to avoid the possibility of stepping on the plastic ball.  If you add more water to the tube while bathing you may swirl the Crystal Ball through the water for another minute or so to remove any new chlorine.

Water Conservation
Learn More About Water Conservation

Rainshow'r is not only helping with the quality of the water coming out of your family's shower, we are also concerned about the amount of energy used during a shower.

According to the Dept. of Energy, heating water is the second largest residential energy user. Showers account for 32% of all home water use. We don't want you to feel guilty about enjoying your hot shower so we have available a choice of high-quality water conservation shower heads that reduce water usage up to 50%.

Not only are you helping to conserve one of our most important resources, you are also saving money on both your water and heating bills. An important environmental publication pointed to a study in which experts found "that changing to a water conserving shower head saves 27 cents of water a day and 51 cents of electricity for a family of four." That is 78 cent savings a day! (Utility rate prices may vary in different cities)

Not only does the reduced flow shower head cut energy costs it also provides for the optimum chlorine removal by the filter because the water flow rate through the filter is controlled to no more than 2.25 GPM. This allows for ideal contact time for the filtering media. When using a good quality flow reduction shower head you can still enjoy a quality shower experience.


Let's talk about recycling...

We strongly encourage you to return used cartridges for complete recycling.  The plastic housing and all the media can be reused by a variety of industries.  We'd much prefer our products get a second life, then end up in a landfill.  The amount of postage it takes to send it back is a small contribution to our planet..

How do you address water quality?

The cleaner your water the longer and more efficient the filter will be. If heavy levels of sediment and particulate matter are present in the water the KDF media can become clogged making it more difficult to create the electrolytic reaction required for dechlorination.  Some sediment and turbidity will inevitably enter the filter, however the filter is specially designed to minimize the effects with its exclusive sediment trapping screen located in the inlet and the Poly-flow materials, both trap large particulate matters as it enter the filter.

Can I use the filters with color treated hair?

Absolutely! In fact you will be amazed at how soft, shiny and hydrated your hair will be. Your color will last much longer than ever before because the chlorine is not stripping it away!


I have well water, do I need a shower filter?

No. Well water does not contain chlorine naturally. Our filters were designed specifically to remove chlorine only.


How do I know when the filter cartridges need replaced?

That is an excellent question that is hard to answer. Most of my customers can "just tell."   Here are some things you may notice as an indicator it is time to replace the cartridge:

  • the water may feel "harder"
  • sensitive sniffers may actually notice the chlorine smell has returned
  • you may start to see mold and mildew return around the tub and tiles
  • your skin and hair will be noticeably drier/coarser

To be sure you are continuously treating your skin to the water it deserves, change cartridge every 6 months.


Won't bacteria collect in the shower head without the chlorine?

One of the things I found most interesting about the filters when I first discovered them was that they actually PREVENT mold and mildew.

The copper in the filter medium actually acts as a natural fungicide to destroy mold and mildew.  You may actually be able to cut down on the chore of cleaning the shower as frequently, or at least be able to cut down or eliminate any harsh solvents you previously used to battle it. Hooray for that!

Can I drink the water?

No. The filters were designed for bathing only.
