Shower Filters from Aquasana – A Guide for First Time Buyers.

Posted on November 7th, 2009 by admin
At a time when shower filters have almost become a basic necessity for all of us thanks to water contamination, it is important to be aware of the pros and cons of various shower filter systems available on the market today to be able to choose the best one. This article is a review of Aquasana shower filter from Sun Water Systems. 
How does it work? What technology does it use? What kind of contaminants does it remove? Let us take a look at all that and more. 
The most important aspect of the Aquasana shower filter system is its twin stage filtration process. In the first stage, it reduces the amount of chlorine present in water and improves the pH balance of water. In the second stage, it removes VOCs (volatile organic compounds), synthetic chemicals, and other such dangerous contaminants. The filtration system consists of two different filters – a copper/zinc mineral media called KDF 55D for the first stage of filtration and an active carbon coconut shell media for the second stage of filtration. 
The installation process is really simple. It only takes a few minutes and you can do it all by yourself. The manufacturer’s website has instructional videos which you can watch to find out how you can install the filter to your shower easily. The up-flow design in Aquasana shower filter is quite good, so there is no noticeable loss in shower pressure. Its maximum operating temperature is 115 degrees. 
The manufacturer states that the filter needs to be replaced every six months (assuming a normal household of four taking one shower each in a day) or after filtering 10,000 gallons of water. The replacement filter costs about $45 and it will be shipped automatically to your home if you join the Auto-Ship program offered by the manufacturer.
Aquasana shower filter is compact in size and it is compatible with most types of shower heads and handheld shower wands available on the market today. If yours is not compatible, you can go for Aquasana shower head and handheld shower wand. The manufacturer also has some combo offers wherein you can get shower filter + replacement cartridges or shower filter + handheld shower wand at a discount. 
The Aquasana shower filter system can be bought directly from the manufacturer through their official website. The shower filter and its accessories, just like most other products from Aquasana, come with a 100 day warranty. The manufacturer also offers an unconditional 30-day money back guarantee. At a time when shower filters have almost become a basic necessity for all of us thanks to water contamination, it is important to be aware of the pros and cons of various shower filter systems available on the market today to be able to choose the best one.

What’s Wrong With Bottled & Tap Water?

Here's what the FDA thinks about bottled water ... "Companies that market bottled water as being safer than tap water are defrauding the American public."

---------------------

Ralph Nadar says, his study group, exercising the Freedom of Information Act, reviewed thousands of documents and concluded with the somber assessment that: "U.S. drinking water contains more than 2,100 toxic chemicals that can cause cancer."

---------------------

In January, about 20 million gallons of sewage flowed into Pennsylvania's Schuylkill River after a 42-inch pipe ruptured near Reading, Pa.

---------------------

In March, between 700,000 and 1.3 million gallons of human feces and other waste spilled from a damaged pipe into Grand Lagoon at Panama City Beach, Fla.

---------------------

"When people flush their toilets, they think the sewage is going to the treatment plant, and that's where they deserve to have it go," said Nancy Stoner, a project director at the Natural Resources Defense Council, which says the government isn't doing enough to police sewage overflows.

---------------------

Gannett News Service analyzed enforcement and compliance records compiled by the EPA and some state regulators between January 2003 and February this year. The analysis found:

At least one-third of the nation's large, publicly owned sewage treatment systems have been penalized by the EPA or state regulators for sewage spills or other violations. The penalties included fines and orders to fix problems or expand treatment capacity.

---------------------

It has been recently reported that water samples taken from a US town’s water supply showed that the average level of trihalomethanes has increased about 9 percent from its previous average, which was above standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency.

The trihalomethanes are a carcinogenic byproduct formed when chlorine used to disinfect drinking water interacts with organic materials in the water supply.
One theory about why the trihalomethanes levels might be higher is that the farther water travels from the water treatment plant, the more time chlorine has to interact with organic materials.

There have also been reports of drugs found in drinking water samples taken from all over the United States, Canada and other areas of the world.

These were waters intended for public use.
