High Output Shower Filter (HO2)
Sprite is the industry pioneer that patented Chlorgon, a non-carbon media specifically designed for hot water filtration where standard carbon fails. It is one of the few filters that maintains rigorous NSF/ANSI 177 certification for the entire system, not just the components.
Quality & Materials
Uses Chlorgon (a patented blend of Copper, Zinc, and Calcium Chalcogenide) which is specifically effective at removing free chlorine in high-temperature, high-flow environments.
Evidence & Testing
Certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 177 for the reduction of free available chlorine. Testing shows consistent performance over the 12-month cartridge life.
Brand Transparency
Full performance data sheets are publicly available; Sprite is a member of the Water Quality Association and maintains consistent manufacturing standards in the USA.
Value Assessment
At roughly $33 for the housing and $15-20 for replacement filters, it offers the lowest cost-per-gallon for a certified filter on the market.
Why Not Alternatives?
Unlike the viral '15-stage' filters found on Amazon, Sprite does not use cheap 'filler' stones like maifan or calcium sulfite which have little to no clinical evidence for shower-flow filtration. It focuses on a high volume of patented media rather than marketing gimmicks.
