Why Change Your Sprite Shower Filter Cartridge?

Over time, your shower filter cartridge does a great job of trapping all the impurities from your water. Eventually, though, it gets clogged up, which means it can't work as well. Regularly swapping it out for a fresh one keeps the filter doing its job properly.

This means you get cleaner water, which is great for your skin and hair. The chlorine and other harsh chemicals in normal tap water can dry out your skin, trigger conditions like eczema and strip the natural oils from your hair, leaving it feeling dry and damaged. Therefore, keeping your shower filter in top condition is also a simple way to look after yourself.

  2. Find Where it Opens: Have a look at the back of the shower filter head. You'll see a line running around it. That's the seam where the head is designed to break in half so you can get to the cartridge.

  3. Unscrew the Head: Gently twist the head of the shower filter by hand. It should unscrew pretty easily. You can leave the backing plate attached to the shower arm; just remove the main head part.

4. Pull Out the Old Cartridge: Once the head is off, you'll see the old shower filter cartridge sitting inside. Just pull it out gently and you can throw it away after.

5. Insert the New Cartridge: Grab your new Sprite Slim Line Shower Filter Replacement Cartridge and place it inside the filter head where the old one was. Make sure it sits in there nice and snug.

6. Reattach the Head: Screw the head back onto the backing plate until it's tight. Give it a firm twist to make sure the O-ring inside creates a proper seal to stop any leaks.

7. Turn the Water Back On: Head back to the tap and turn the water on. Check around the filter head to make sure there are no drips or leaks.

And that’s it, you’re all sorted! You've successfully changed the cartridge in your Sprite shower filter. Now, you can hop in and enjoy that clean, refreshing shower. It's more than just a little bit of home maintenance; it’s a key step towards looking after yourself better, because clean, filtered water really does make a difference to your overall wellbeing.
