Sprite Handheld Filter Cartridge Specifications

Municipal water treatment relies heavily on chlorine to disinfect public water supplies, effectively neutralizing bacteria and microorganisms during transit. However, once this treated water reaches your home plumbing, the residual chlorine can negatively affect your physical comfort, personal appearance, and long-term health.

The Sprite Handheld Filter Cartridge is engineered to intercept and neutralize these harsh chemicals at the point of use. Utilizing an exclusive, patented filtration media, this cartridge guarantees highly efficient chlorine removal across a significantly wider temperature range than standard water filters.

System Compatibility and Features

This product is supplied as a convenient Twin Replacement Cartridge Pack, ensuring you have a backup on hand to maintain uninterrupted filtration performance.

Hardware Compatibility: Precision-engineered to fit seamlessly within Sprite’s Handheld Chrome Shower Filter, Sprite’s Universal Shower Hose Filter, and other premium Sprite models, including the Royale, Shower Falls, and Filtered Extensions.
Thermal Durability: The patented media is specifically designed to withstand the extreme heat of shower water without degrading or releasing trapped contaminants back into the water stream.
Maintenance Schedule: To maintain maximum chlorine reduction and steady water pressure, each cartridge is recommended to be replaced every 3 months.

The Mechanics of Chlorine Vaporization

While many households filter their drinking water, they often overlook the shower as a primary source of chemical exposure. Scientific studies indicate that up to 50% of a person's daily chlorine exposure takes place in the shower.

This occurs through two primary mechanisms:

Dermal Absorption: Hot water dilates the skin's pores, allowing dissolved chlorine to be absorbed directly into the dermis. This frequently strips the skin and hair of natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation.
Vapor Inhalation: Within the enclosed, high-temperature environment of a shower, liquid chlorine rapidly vaporizes into a toxic gas. When inhaled deeply into the lungs, this vapor is transferred directly into the bloodstream.

Aesthetic and Health Benefits: By actively reducing harsh chlorine vapors and liquid residues, Sprite Shower Filtration guarantees you can breathe easier. Regular use promotes noticeably softer hair, smoother skin, and a safer daily hygiene routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why must the cartridge be replaced every 3 months?

The patented filtration media inside the cartridge works through chemical adsorption. After approximately 3 months of daily use, the media reaches its maximum capacity to bind chlorine. Replacing the cartridge ensures you continue to receive fully purified water without experiencing a drop in shower pressure.

Will these cartridges fit a standard wall-mounted showerhead?

No. These specific replacement cartridges are designed exclusively for Sprite's handheld units, hose filters, and specific extension models (like the Royale and Shower Falls). They will not fit inside a standard, non-filtered wall-mounted shower fixture.

Does this filter remove heavy metals or fluoride?

The primary function of the Sprite Handheld Filter Cartridge is the rapid and highly efficient removal of free chlorine and chloramine vapors at high temperatures. While it may reduce trace amounts of other elements, it is not specifically calibrated to remove dissolved heavy minerals or fluoride.
