OPERATION
BEFORE ENTERING THE SHOWER.
1. Activate fi lter by turning the shower-water to “full-hot”.
2. Cool to the desired temperature before entering shower.
To ensure over
75% free-chlorine removal
, replace the model
SLC Filter Cartridge every 6 months or 5,000 gallons,
whichever comes fi rst.
CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
The SLC fi lter cartridge should be replaced every 5,000 gallons or
6 months (whichever comes sooner).
1. Unscrew the shower fi lter housing.
2. Remove the used cartridge.
3. Make sure both O-rings are seated in the O-ring grooves.
Apply a small amount of lubricant, such as petroleum

This Sprite Shower Filtration system has been tested
and Certifi ed by NSF International against NSF/ANSI
Standard 177 for the reduction of free available
chlorine. The concentration of free available chlorine
in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less
than or equal to the permissible limit for water leaving the system,
as specifi ed in NSF/ANSI 177. This system has not been evaluated
for free available chlorine reduction performance in the presence of
chloramines. Free available chlorine reduction performance may be
impacted by the presence of chloramines in the water supply. Please
contact your local water utility to determine if chloramines are used
in treating your water.
Notes on NFS Test Protocol:
Minimum chlorine reduction per NSF/ANSI 177 shall be listed as
>
50% free available chlorine (FAC) when used with an infl uent
challenge water of 2 mg /L FAC.
Average concentrations shall be the arithmetic mean of all reported
infl uent challenge or product water concentrations (the detection limit
value shall be used for any nondetectable concentration). The specifi ed
average percent reduction shall not be greater than the reduction
calculated using the arithmetic means of the
infl uent challenge and the product water
concentrations respectively.
