Purpose:
To demonstrate free chlorine removal by a standard Shower Master (SR-1) shower filter over a minimum duration of 5000 gallons.
Shower Master (SR-1) 5,000 gallon test results:
LR: 81590 Utilizing 18 oz of KDF® 55D
To demonstrate free chlorine removal by a standard Shower Master (SR-1) shower filter over a minimum duration of 5000 gallons.
The faucet hose/shower arm assembly was constructed so as to attach to the hot and cold faucet at the input and the diverter (SA-3) at the output.
A Shower Master filter with a standard shower head (SR-1) was attached to the two-way diverter's in-line port and a standard shower head (S-1) to its angled port. A Chem-Tek pulsafeeder model 100/030 injected 10% hypo chlorite solution via a tee fitting, midway at the faucet hose. A collecting pan with thermometer was placed under shower heads for gathering samples.
Due to limitations of the testing apparatus two groups of data appeared.
The percent of chlorine removal is directly related to temperature. At normal showering temperatures, 103-105°F the Sprite Shower Master removed from 96-100% of the free chlorine.
Due to limitations of the testing apparatus two groups of data appeared.
