Dechlorinating Shower Filter

The CQ-1000 will typically remove more than 90% of the free chlorine

. Reduction levels of 95% or above are not uncommon, but no chlorine reduction shower filter can remove consistently at 95% because of temperature and water flow variations.The CQ-1000's Poly-flow material and dispersal fins have been designed to eliminate the need for back flushing. KDF has been proven to remove lead and other heavy metals under specific conditions, those conditions are very different from those present shower filters. No tests have yet been done on high flow rate in short-bodied filters such as a 2 to 3 inch shower filter. We believe strongly that a good quality head will maximize the filtering process this is why the shower head is an integral part of our filter design. The CQ1000 comes standard with the high quality chrome plated fixed action designer shower head by Whedon. The CQ1000 is also available with a massage action head by Amcor, or without a shower head. Hand held units are available with either a fixed action or massage action spray. the CQ1000 filter cartridge will have an effective life of six to nine months for a family of four, or an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 gallons of usage. The CQ-1000 body should last for several years with proper care.

How many gallons will the CQ1000 filter per minute?

This depends on the shower head attached. The CQ1000 has been designed and engineered to work most effectively with the high quality low-flow shower heads that conform to the required 2.5 gallons per minute flow rate specified by the U.S. Energy Policy Act of 1992. If flow rates exceed 2.5gpm the contact time required for maximum chlorine conversion will be reduced. For this reason we recommend only high quality, low flow shower heads for any shower filter application.

Can I use my own shower head with the CQ1000?

Yes, but only a good quality, low flow shower head that has been purchased since 1995. This guarantees conformity to the U. S. Energy Policy Act, and that you have a water delivery at no more than 2.5 gpm at 80 PSI. Hand held units also may be attached to the filter.

Is the CQ1000 easy to install?

Yes, simply screw the filter inlet onto your existing shower arm. It does not require the use of plumber's tape for leak sealing. Be careful not to over tighten, this may cause the housing to crack.

Is the CQ1000 filter cartridge easy to replace?

Yes, simply unscrew the body cap, pull out the existing filter cartridge, check for proper seating of 'O' rings and pop in the replacement cartridge (part # RCCQ).
