Purenex Aquashower Filter - Manual (Page 4)

6. If this Aquashower is not equipped with
a Multipure showerhead, you may use any
good quality showerhead or a hand held
shower unit. Attach the flexible hose part of
a hand held unit to the outlet threads of the
filter. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
any other assembly required. Please use only
a low flow showerhead manufactured since
1993. It should be a high quality showerhead
not an economy plastic showerhead. It should
conform to the requirements of the US Energy
Policy Act of 1994. NOTE. Maximum chlorine
removal is achieved with a water flow rate of
no more than 2.5 gpm at 80 psi. At this flow
rate, sufficient water contact time with the
media is achieved.
Wonder Washer (Fig. 6 & 7)
All our shower filters now use the unique and
exclusive Wonder Washer. The Wonder Washer
replaces the sediment screen previously used
on our shower filters. The Wonder Washer uses a
beveled washer into which we insert a custom
machined sleeve and base. This eliminates the
need for Teflon or plumbers tape for a leak free
seal. It also solves the problem of thin-walled
shower arms cutting into a flat rubber washer
allowing the washer to collapse and be drawn
into the shower arm or pipe itself, causing
a leak. The unique brass insert stabilizes the
beveled washer making it impossible to
collapse. We consider this a quality feature for
our quality shower filter products.
When to Change Your Cartridge and Housing Body
The Aquashower shower filter should remove unhealthy free chlorine for a
period of 6 to 7 months. Chlorine levels vary from city to city. If you live in
an area where the source water contains high levels of suspended solids
or where scale buildup in pipes is excessive, you may experience an early
reduction in water flow. This may be an indication that you need to replace
the cartridge more frequently than the recommended 6 to 7 months. For best
results, the housing body should be replaced every 3 years or as needed.
