SHOWERHEAD FILTERS
The Rainshower shower
filter specially formulated KDF filter media effectively removes 90% or more of
chlorine from shower water. And it is the only Shower Filter to Include
Crystalline Quartz Technology for an Energized Shower Experience!
The specially-cured crystals in the Rainshow r CQ-1000 act upon the water to
create a softer, more energized shower "feel" and improve both lathering and
sudsing.
Unlike other dechlorinating shower filters, Rainshow r CQ-1000 shower filter is
specifically engineered for efficiency and performance. Its unique filter design
provides the best shower experience available for you and your family.
How Does KDF Work
in Removing Chlorine?
As chlorinated water
flows through the shower filter 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 zinc chloride. KDF does not
hold the chlorine, it changes chlorine from an element into a harmless compound.
What is the Advantage of Crystalline
Quartz?
Rainshow rs specially washed and sun-dried quartz crystals help to
"energize" the water by reducing the water s surface tension. This allows for an
increase in sudsing and lathering of soaps and shampoos. The water has a
"lighter" feel, similar to the feeling of softened water.
What is Zeolite?
Zeolite is a natural earth mineral used for many years as a contaminant
absorbing material in the water softening industry. We use it as a contaminate
absorber and a particulate trapping media. This action lessens the negative
effect of waterborne contaminants on the enhanced KDF dechlorinating media. It
extends the performance life of the enhanced KDF.
Are any Ingredients Harmful or Toxic?
No. KDF and zeolite are commonly used in drinking water and water treatment
systems. The virgin crystalline quartz is washed and sun-cured.
How much Chlorine will the Shower 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.
Can CQ-1000 Remove Lead or Other Heavy
Metals?
There is no conclusive data to date that KDF can remove lead or other metals
when used in shower filters. While KDF has been proven to remove lead and other
metals under specific conditions, those conditions are very different from those
present in shower filters. No tests have yet been done on high flow rates in
short bodied filters, such as with a 2 to 3 inch shower filter.
How Long will the CQ-1000 Last and How
Many Gallons Will it Filter?
The ability of any KDF shower filter to reduce chlorine is a function of the
quality of the water (i.e. sediment and turbidity levels). As a result, it is
difficult to measure precisely in gallons of water. KDF will dechlorinate longer
in clean water than in murky water. While it is difficult to measure precisely,
we can estimate average usefulness. We expect that the CQ-1000 filter cartridge
will have an effective life of nine to twelve months for a family of four, or an
estimated 15,000 to 20,000 gallons of usage. The CQ-1000 body should last for
several years with proper care.
How Many Gallons will the CQ-1000 Filter
per Minute?
This depends on the shower head attached. The CQ-1000 has been designed and
engineered to work most effectively with high quality, low-flow shower heads
which conform to the required 2.25 gallons per minute flow rate specified by the
U.S. Energy Policy Act of 1992. If flow rates exceed 2.25 gpm, the contact time
required for maximum chlorine conversion will be reduced. For this reason, we
recommend only high quality, low flow shower heads for any shower filter
application.
What Shower Head Does the CQ-1000 Come
With?
We believe strongly that a good quality head will maximize the filtering
process. That is why the shower head is an integral part of our filter design.
The CQ-1000 comes standard with the high quality, hand-buffed, mirror polished
"Whedon" fixed action designer shower head. The CQ-1000 is also available with
Brass Craft massage action head, or without head.
Can I Use My Own Shower Head with the
CQ-1000?
Yes, you can use your own shower head. Use on a good quality, low flow
shower head that has been purchased since 1995. This guarantees conformity to
the U.S. Energy Policy Act and that you have a water delivery at no more than
2.25 gpm at 80 psi.
Is the CQ-1000 Easy to Install?
Yes, simply screw the filter inlet onto your existing shower arm. It does
not require the use of a plumber s tape for lead sealing. It must be hand
tightened only.
Is the CQ-1000 Filter Cartridge Easy to
Replace?
Yes, simply unscrew the body cap. pull out the existing filter cartridge,
check for proper seating of the "O" rings and pop in the replacement cartridge.

When
water comes in contact with the media filaments inside the fabric pouch, the
chlorine ions in the water are converted into harmless zinc chloride. The toxic
effects of chlorine, chloramine, and chlorine gas are eliminated with the aid of
KDF Formula 73. More chlorine is removed faster if there is adequate circulation
of the Crystal Ball in the water. The quartz crystals mixed with the media
reduce the molecular structure of water into smaller clusters, thereby allowing
enhanced sudsing and lathering of soap.
