excellent nutrient for skin and hair. The use of
Vitamin C is more environmentally conscious than
traditional activated carbon, KDF or sulfur-based

A 2007 independent review tested the top 8
shower filter brands under real world conditions.
Tests include before and after total residual
chlorine (a combination of free chlorine &
chloramine) levels using a digital chlorine meter to
measure the results. The shower filters are tested
for their ability to remove both free and combined
chlorine in an actual residential shower unit. This
review puts to the test various manufacturer's
claims, as to the effectiveness of their chlorine
shower filters. Vitashower shower filter ranks the
Number One best shower filter on the market.

Frequently
Asked Questions
What is the Vitashower filtering media?
100% Pharmaceutical Grade Vitamin C. 100%
Organic, as natural as it can get.
How does Vitashower remove chlorine and
chloramines from water?
Vitashower utilizes ascorbic acid (vitamin C)
chemistry for dechlorination. Vitamin C does not
hold the chlorine; it turns free chlorine and
chlorine by-products into a harmless compound.
Is there scientific evidence that Vitamin C
can be used in dechlorination?
Yes. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
National Risk Management Research Laboratory
demonstrated that Vitamin C is a safe and fast
dechlorination agent. Click Research for detailed
information.
How much Vitamin C is in the Vitashower
filter?
There are 250 grams of Vitamin C in each Vitashower
cartridge. One gram of Vitamin C will neutralize 1
ppm (part per million) chlorine in 100 gallons of
water.
What is the advantage of Vitamin C?
Vitamin C is the safest and healthiest
dechlorination process. It not only fully
neutralizes both chlorine and chloramines but also
provide additional nutrients for skin and hair.
Has Vitamin C ever been used in
dechlorination?
Yes. Vitamin C dechlorination has a lengthy history.
It has been used in EPA and APHA methods for the
dechlorination of lab samples. In the medical
industry, it is the standard for critical
applications such as dialysis, where the
introduction of chlorinated water or toxic chemical
would be catastrophic.

No. Vitashower does not need any maintenance. You

rate?
No noticeable change of flow rate is found after the
