Sprite SL-CM Slim-Line Universal Shower Filter -Chrome

Seems like this manufacturer isn’t nearly as out of touch with their product’s users as mostl manufacturers seem to be these days. They might even USE their OWN products instead of just trying to shovel junk on the unsuspecting public! Amazing.I thought I was going to have to either buy a whole new handle shower head with a filter or (much worse) shorten the shower arm cooling out of the wall in order to get a filter to fit.This one adds very little length to the shower arm, so you can connect a handle shower head to it without needing to be 4’ 5” tall to still fit under it. It adds especially little extension to the arm since the arm (pipe) screws into it halfway down inside the middle.The filter is a no-nonsense filter. No magic balls or any nonsense that does absolutely nothing but try to scam people with pseudo-technology. I think it was the second best filter in the testing list I found for chlorine removal, but they do mention in the instructions that some people’s tap water could have some chlorine compounds that it isn’t designed to remove so removal wouldn’t always be absolutely 100% everywhere for everyone. Bit it was still much better than most others when I was researching.The only problem I’ve noticed with it is more of a problem with the installation instructions. During shipping some of the filter media (which is sand-like granules) can shake out of the filter, the filter chamber cap can vibrate loose, and grains get under the O ring seal and the cap. And if you just install it then it will immediately be leaking around the edge.All you have to do is unscrew it (as though you were changing the filter) and take the filter and O ring out, rinse everything off to make sure the are no stray grains of filler media messing up the seal, and put it back together again. Only a tiny amount of grains shake out, and the stuff rinses off easily, but it’s likely enough to prevent the O ring from sealing when the cap probably got loose too.So just check and clean the filter seal before installing. After I did this everything was perfect after running water through it for a minute like the instructions tell you.I’m betting the manufacturer will end up adding this check to the install instructions at some point.Anyway, it does not lower the water pressure or anything that i I can tell. Anyone using the shower here hasn’t noticed it and I don’t even notice that it’s there either.I hadn’t heard of Sprite before, but I’ll be keeping this company in mind next time I need to buy the sort of products they produce.

Montreal water makes my hair dry and coarse. My hair has been much softer and shinier with this filter. I researched quite a bit and came down to two choices - Sprite or GE. Got this one and happy about it so far.

Sencillo de poner cumple con su funcion

I love this product so much I bought it for every one of my bathrooms. It has a modern look and was super easy to install, it took less than 5 minuets with no tools. We have well water and this has changed my hair without loosing the water pressure. I had it for over a year and it’s still holding up great and doesn’t leak. It’s easy to clean and doesn’t rust or collect grime. Overall the performance is OUTSTANDING. If you have hard water and don’t own one I suggest you buy one. You can buy replacement beads to change the filter, I would say it last 6 months in a house of 4 people with daily use. It also has a dial that you can select the month so you know when you last changed it. Once again I highly recommend.

simple install and I hope the water quality is better with it
