This filter will give you a
rear opportunity to see the dirt that your were bathing with. More
importantly this little filter can
remove 90% or
more of the offending chlorine from your bath water. Rainshow'r
shower filters are ranked among the highest quality shower
filters in the industry and is economically priced. This is
impressive considering it is one of the only shower filter companies that is
still completely manufactured in the United States. With over 15 years of experience
designing and manufacturing shower filters Rainshower has built
a great reputation with its thousands of satisfied customers.
This experience is why you will never see activated carbon being
used in any of Rainshower's shower filters. Activated carbon is
not recommended for hot water use. Rainshow'r Mfg. Co., Inc. was
the first shower filter manufacturer to use KDF in their shower
filter and today, non-carbon shower filters are the norm, and
KDF the preferred media among shower filter designers.
Rainshower RCCQ-A
Employes KDF 55
KDF is comprised of 50% copper and 50% zinc. It removes
free chlorine
by reversing the electrochemical process that
originally separated the chlorine from sodium in a brine solution. The chlorine is recombine with calcium to form a
soluble chloride, which washes out of the filter and is harmless
to humans.
KDF not only offers
superior dechlorination capabilities, it lasts much longer than
carbon
media does. Depending upon the filter model, the
amount of KDF, and the water source a KDF shower filter should last seven to nine
months. KDF is also bacteriostatic (inhibits reproduction), and tends
to reduce or eliminate fungus and mildew build up in the shower.
Rainshow'r RCCQ-A
Employes Crystaline Quartz
Rainshower
also incorporates crystaline quartz technology. The purpose of
washed and sun dried quartz crystals is to help "energize" the
water by reducing the water's surface tension. This allows for
an increase in the sudsuing and lathering of soaps and shampoos.
The water has a "lighter" feel, similar to the feeling of
softened water.
Rainshow'r introduced crystal to the general market through the
CQ-1000 shower filter series in March 1998 and to its knowledge
was the first to do so. Because of the electron movement caused
in shocking the crystal an electrical charge is generated which
Rainshow'r believes reduces the size of water molecule clusters.
In other words making smaller water clusters from larger water
clusters. This is also known as “wetter” water. The evidence to
support this is claim is the increased sudsing and lathering
that result. As with all the materials used in Rainshow'r
products, crystal (silicon dioxide) is completely safe and
non-toxic. Not only is its chemical combination non-toxic but
because of its hardness it cannot absorb materials which could
be harmful. Rainshower uses only virgin crystal extracted from a
specially selected mine in North America. The crystal is ground
and processed to Rainshower specifications and shipped to us in
two thousand pound lots. It is then washed in chlorine free
water again and dried in the sun for at least two days. One
ounce of the crystal is added to each CQ-1000 cartridge and
layer it at the outlet. It is not integrated into the KDF
filtering media
