How much Chlorine will the Shower Filter Remove?
The CQ-1000 will typically remove more than 90% of the free chlorine. Reduction levels of 95% or above are not uncommon, but no chlorine reduction shower filter can remove consistently at 95% because of temperature and water flow variations. How do you Address Water Quality? The cleaner your water the longer and more efficient the filter will be. If heavy levels of sediment and particulate matter are present in the water the KDF media can become clogged making it more difficult to create the electrolytic reaction required for dechlorination. Some sediment and turbidity will inevitably enter the CQ-1000, however, it is specifically designed to minimize the effects with it’s special high-flow filter pad and the contaminate trapping chamber. Do you have to Back Flush the Filter? No. The CQ-1000 jet cone has been designed to eliminate the need for back flushing. Will the CQ-1000 Remove Lead or Other Heavy Metals? There is no conclusive data to date that KDF can remove lead or other metals
