Filter Media
KDF 55
There are 15 ounces (466 grams) of KDF media in each Aquashower
cartridge. As chlorinated water flows through the filter cartridge, the two
dissimilar metals in KDF, (copper and zinc), create a galvanic or electrolytic
reaction which causes the two chlorine ions to combine with some
prevalent metal in the water to form a harmless chloride. KDF does not hold
the chlorine, it changes chlorine from an element to a harmless compound,
which flushes out of the filter. KDF is a non-toxic granular filter media which
is produced within the regulations of “The Drinking Water Act” (PL 99-399 of
June 19, 1986.)
Crystalline Quartz
The Aquashower is the world’s first shower filter to utilize specially treated
virgin quartz to ‘energize’ the shower experience by reducing the surface
tension of the water. This increases the lathering capacity of your soap and
shampoo. Quartz does not soften water but gives the water a lighter ‘feel’,
similar to the feeling of softened water. Our natural crystals come to us directly
from two North American high-energy crystal mines. We use specially filtered
water to clean our crystals and sun dry them for maximum purity.

Aquashower Safety Feature
The Aquashower has been designed to prevent either the cracking of the
filter body or of thread separation in the event the user fails to change a
cartridge when clogged with rust and sediment and of a failure to replace
on schedule.
If the cartridge is clogged and flow rate Is reduced there will be a back-
flow toward the inlet washer forcing it aside and allowing water to flow into
the body which should always be dry when operating correctly. That will
