The Paragon Shower Head with Built-In Water Filter utilises KDF55, a high-purity copper-zinc alloy (water gold), & the patented Media 41.
The KDF Media is developed and produced by the famous American KDFFT company.
This product has been tested to and passed the certification of NSF Standard 53 for Health Effects & NSF Standard 42 for Drinking Water Treatment Units "“ Aesthetic Effects, WQA, etc. in the United States. It utilizes the redox reaction of copper and zinc in water to filter out residual chlorine, water-soluble heavy metals, softens the water (reduces limescale build-up) and inhibits bacterial growth.
- Can help to soften hair and protect sensitive skin by filtering out harsh chemicals which cause irritation.
- Reduces chlorine, heavy metals & limescale in water.
- Massage function with 4 spray settings.
- Free hose and holder kit included.
- Super easy fitting, no tools or skills required!
The Paragon HSF-1 is a replacement showerhead built for hands-on or hands-free showering. Made in a high-quality chrome finish and with multiple spray settings, this shower head is not only effective but also stylish and looks amazing in your bathroom.
The patented Media 41 inside the filter cartridge works in combination with KDF55 Media.
Filters that utilise KDF alone will only last 5% as long as filters with KDF and Media 41.
KDF is a redox media, meaning it uses oxidation and reduction of ions.
The redox process works by exchanging electrons with contaminants.
This give-and-take of electrons converts many harmful contaminants into harmless components, such as chlorine to chloride.
Other contaminants, including heavy metals, bond to the KDF media, which greatly reduces or virtually eliminates these substances.
It has been tested to drastically reduce or effectively remove:
Chlorine, Lead, Arsenic, Mercury, Iron, Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium, Bacteria, Fungi, Algae, Cadmium, Chromium and Selenium.
This shower filter drastically reduces (not 100% removes) chlorine, sediment and suspended solids (rust & silt), heavy metals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and can reduce water hardness and hydrogen sulfate levels.
This all works to help restore the natural softness back into your skin, scalp and hair. Added bonuses such as a long-lasting filter and elimination of water odour and chlorine smells and taste, this is a must-have addition to your bathroom!
The Paragon Replacement Shower Filter Cartridge
There is an easily changeable cartridge in the unit which lasts for 10,000 gallons and is normally replaced every 6-12 months depending upon your incoming water quality and usage rate.
A refreshing shower is something we all look forward to every day and sometimes more than once a day.
Now that you"™ll be showering in filtered water, your shower experience will be even more enjoyable!
Here"™s why:
- Chlorine is an irritant.
Residual Chlorine has strong oxidizing properties which can cause proteins to bond. The skin layer is oxidized and this makes skin rough, hair dry and impurities in the water can cause skin irritation and itching, worsening pre-existing skin conditions such as Psoriasis & Eczema.
The filtered shower head reduces chlorine that may be present in your water.
- Depending on your water source, there may be a sulphur-like odour in your shower water.
The filtered shower head reduces this odour for a fresher shower.
- Patented filter media used in the filtered shower head reduces the build-up of scale.*
- The filtered shower head helps to prevent dry, itchy skin and scalp by reducing the impurities found in water. It also helps prevent chlorine damage to hair texture and helps colour-treated hair retain the colour longer
- The shower filter has 4 spray settings so you can enjoy the shower of your choice. Clear, filtered water leaves you refreshed and cleaner than ever!
4 Spray Settings.
- Full Body Spray for maximum water coverage
- Invigorating Pulse for an energizing muscle massage
- Full Body Spray/Rain Combo for ultimate relaxation
- Full Body Spray/Pulse Combo for all-over warmth with massage
Please note that the shower head will only function properly as long as the shower filter cartridge in place.
