The Aquasure Sparkle Series shower filter is an inline point-of-use filtration system designed to install between your shower arm and showerhead. It filters water before it reaches the showerhead and does not require electricity.
The system operates using normal household water pressure and is designed for simple installation and compatibility with most standard shower setups.
Where the System Is Installed
The Sparkle shower filter installs directly at the shower arm connection. It sits between the shower arm coming from the wall and the showerhead.
The system is compatible with:
- Most standard shower arms
- Fixed showerheads
- Rain showerheads
- Combo and dual shower systems
- Most handheld showerheads with standard threading
Installation requires removing the existing showerhead, attaching the filter to the shower arm, and reconnecting the showerhead to the filter outlet.
The sparkle shower filter comes equipped with plumber tape and a wrench to assist with installation if needed.
Filtration Media
The Sparkle Shower Filter uses a multi-stage media blend designed for shower applications. These media types are used to help reduce chlorine, some heavy metals, and certain impurities commonly found in tap water.
The filtration media includes:
- Activated coconut carbon: Absorbs impurities such as chlorine, odors, VOCs, and other common impurities that can affect shower water quality.
- KDF-55: Uses a copper-zinc media blend to help reduce chlorine, heavy metals, and unwanted odors.
- Calcium sulfite: Filters out up to 99% of chlorine, helping shower water feel less harsh on skin and hair.
- Mineralized beads: Infuses shower water with beneficial minerals like vitamin C to help support pH balance.
Together, these media types help the Sparkle shower filter reduce common shower water impurities while maintaining a simple inline filtration setup.
