Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of VITASHOWER SF-1 (Vitamin C Shower Filter)
Customer Review: Best Available Option
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought one late 2009 as a gift for my sister. I'd studied the available options and consulted with her. She is a pharmaceuticals production line validation engineer (means that she test and documents all will meet FDA inspection before FDA arrives).
She is familiar with the various filtration techniques and lives in an area with very high free chlorine in the water. She has a meter at works that they use to test their filtration systems for before-after free chlorine.
She has been very happy with the filter. It replaced a relatively ineffective carbon block one I'd bought her previously.
Later, I bought one even though I live in a place where chloramine (sp.) is used 8 months and free chlorine is used for 4 each year. It has worked very well for me and I am getting another after 5 months. My sister's is going strong after 11 months!
The filter should not work on chloramine, but is a major benefit in water smell (cannot explain why) - and now that the water people have witched to free chlorine for winter is continuing to do a great job.
Do not bother to try and refill - the plastic will not take it. Just buy another and install. Use teflon tape and be sure to NOT tighten to much or the plastic may crack.
Until there is a filter that has test results that prove it works with chloramine, this is my choice.
---- Update Jan 2, 2011
Replaced the old one after 5 months of no more than 1 shower per day. Cut open the old one. It was completely empty. It routes the shower water through the bottom cylinder which starts out filled with vitamin C. Given I didn't notice a shower water quality degradation with the filter being empty, I'll be curious if I notice a sudden improvement with the new one. Looking through the bottom port, the new filter is definitely chock full of a white crystalline powder - the vit C.
Description of VITASHOWER SF-1 (Vitamin C Shower Filter)
Why Vitashower (Vitamin C Shower Filter)? The water we use from city water systems has been treated by chemicals such as chlorine and chloramine. By definition, "chlorine is a nonmetallic element occurring naturally as a poisonous, greenish-yellow gas with an irritating, pungent odor." The new technology used in the Vitashower Vitamin C Shower Filter astonishingly uses a vitamin as the agent to remove the harmful chlorine in the water we use to shower.Don't be fooled by the imitation knockoffs...this is the Original Vitashower!
and there are no improved models!
The Vitashower Shower Filter releases the exact amount of vitamin to neutralize all chlorine or chloramine as the water passes through the shower filter. When the water is shut off, the Vitashower Shower Filter stops releasing the vitamin. This economy of vitamin release increases the useful life of the Vitashower Vitamin C Shower Filter significantly. Also, the Vitamin Shower Filter works in any water temperature, any water pressure and the lifetime of the filter does not depend on the water quality. This Vitamin shower filter (Vitashower) uses pharmaceutical grade Vitamin C as a dechlorinating agent. Each Vitashower shower filter contains roughly 250 grams of Vitamin C and is capable of neutralizing nearly 100% of the chlorine and most chloramines found in your shower water during its lifetime. This is true without regard to water pressure, water temperature or the quality of your water. This claim cannot be made by any of the more traditional shower filter technologies available today, such as KDF or Activated Charcoal. The life time is independent on the temperature and pressure of water and about 300% to 400% longer than that of KDF shower filter. Also, the flow rate of the shower head is roughly the same before and after the Vitamin shower filter is installed. It works universally as long as the regular shower head can be used.
