Shower Filter -FAQ
Aquasana shower systems are very easy to install, and you can do it yourself in minutes. No
plumber is necessary. Please follow the instruction and look at the installation video.
The optimum flow rate for the filter and shower head is 9.5 liters per minute
Yes, you can use your own shower head or hose. The AQ-4100NSH is the correct model for
individuals using their own shower head or shower hose. Just remember the shower head
needs to have the same 1/2-inch connection as standard shower heads and the ideal flow
rate would be 9.5 liters per minute. If your shower head processes more than a 9.5 liters flow
rate per minute, the quality of filtration may degrade slightly. Increasing the flow rate by
changing the shower head reduces contact time with the media and will reduce the filtration
quality.
Drinking some of the water during your shower poses no health risk. However, Aquasana
does not recommend that you use the shower system as a primary drinking water source
since it is not designed as a drinking system and has only been tested under shower
conditions and regulations.
No, the shower system is designed to allow the water to consistently pass through the
system as it filters. If the system is under constant pressure and unable to release the
pressure introduced into the system during filtration, damage can occur to the unit.
Most shower connections are 1/2-inch, which means that the Aquasana shower systems will
fit the shower pipe in most homes.
Aquasana shower systems are tested to remove 91% chlorine for 38,000 liters.
38,000 liters at 9.5 liters per minute = 4,000 minutes of showering
– You can take 400 10-minute showers
– You can take 267 15-minute showers
