About Sprite Shower Filters

Sprite is a California-based company that has been designing and manufacturing shower filters since 1987. With more than 20 U.S. and international patents to its credit, Sprite products have a solid reputation for sturdy construction, user-friendly performance, and innovative aesthetics. They are well designed to prevent common failures in chlorine shower filters such as clogging, pressure drop and cracks in housings.

KDF shower filters plus Chlorgon®

Sprite’s filtration media is a combination of KDF and Chlorgon®, its own proprietary formula. Chlorgon works at a wider range of temperatures than KDF and reduces some forms of combined chlorine (sodium hypochlorite).

Reversible cartridges

The replacement cartridge for the handheld hose filters are a discreet option for handheld showers. It is rated for 3 month life expectancy and can be reversed after 6 weeks to maximize effectiveness.

Slim-Line design

The Slim-line Filter is designed with a donut-like indent on one end to conserve head room in your shower.

Attach to any standard fitting

Sprite products can be used with any standard showerhead, shower pipe, tubing or bracket. The universal fitting size is 1/2” (internal diaSS
