Shower Filter Components |
Niagara Massage Showerhead - self cleaning 2.5 gpm showerhead with gentle to forceful 9 jet turbo massage. Also delivers a non-massaging, needle to coarse non-aerating spray.
Stage One - utilizes 16 ounces of granular zinc and copper KDF-55D media to remove chlorine and balance water pH.
Stage Two - includes 7.2 ounces (24 cu. in.) of coconut shell carbon media that may help remove synthetic chemicals, Trihalomethanes (THMs) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's).
Installation
Step One - remove the plastic shipping plugs from the inlet and outlet of the filter system.
Step Two - remove your existing showerhead.
Step Three - attach the assembled filter system to the water supply shower arm. Thread the chrome swivel collar onto the shower arm threads by turning clockwise until tight. Using a pair of pliers, turn the chrome collar an additional 1/4 turn or until the filter system retains a firm position.
Step Four - flush the water filter by turning on the cold water valve to allow an initial surge of discolored water to flow out of the system. This discoloration is due to carbon fines in the system. Run water until clear then turn off and on several times until the initial surge of water is clear.
Step Five - attach the showerhead to the filter threads by turning in a clockwise direction. Your system is now ready for use.
Maintenance
The recommended filter change period for the Aquasana AQ 4100 shower filter system is 10,000 gallons or every 6 months.
Step One - remove the entire filter system from the shower arm by turning the chrome swivel collar counter-clockwise. Then remove the showerhead by turning counter-clockwise.

Water for Life Program
The Water-4-Life program is offered direct from Aquasana and information is included in the package. Like any filter, whether it be the filter in your central heating and air conditioning system or the oil filter in your car, water filter cartridges must be replaced at the appropriate time in order to get the best results. The problem most of us have is remembering when these cartridges are supposed to be replaced, unless we have some kind of reminder. The Water-4-Life program is designed to not only remind you when to replace the filter cartridges, but also to reward you for using this convenient program.
When you sign up on the Water-4-Life program you will automatically receive a fresh, new replacement filter cartridge every six months, delivered directly to your door, with easy to follow replacement instructions. Also, with the Water-4-Life program you get free shipping in the contiguous U.S. You eliminate the inconvenience of re-ordering and remembering.
As an added incentive, the Water-4-Life program also offers a life time warranty for the complete filter system. Instead of the standard 100 day replacement warranty, you get free replacement of any damaged or broken component parts for as long as you own the system, even if the damage is your fault. All you pay is a small shipping and handling charge. |
