How the Sprite Shower Filter Cleans Water
Taking a shower is one of life's little luxuries that many of us take for granted. However, the shower environment is not always the clean and hygienic environment it may first appear. There are many chemicals added to your water, to ensure it arrives pure of any harmful bacteria. One chemical added in this process is chlorine. Working on a process similar to a catalytic convertor in the car, a Sprite shower filter converts potentially harmful chlorine, into harmless chloride.
NSF certified, Sprite shower filters use a chemical reaction called, "Reduction-Oxidation", or Redox for short. Now, this is unsurprisingly quite a complex process, but in essence works by creating new elements: Free-chlorine, flows through the filtration media, where the electrons and molecules are transferred, to produce chloride. The resultant chloride element is too large to be absorbed through the skin, so passes harmlessly back into the water supply.
The filtration used in a Sprite shower filter comprises two types of media. The first is called, Chlorgon, which was developed and patented by David Farley - CEO of Sprite Industries, Inc. The second is Kinetic Degradation Fluxion, let's call it KDF!
Chlorgon works by converting many different free and combined chlorine into the harmless chloride, and works through the temperature scale from ice cold, to skin sheddingly hot.
KDF also converts free chlorine to its harmless cousin chloride, through high-purity copper-zinc formulations, whilst also removing iron oxides.
The treated water is pH balanced, to further be gentle on the skin, whilst removing dirt and sediments that may have been collected in the pipes or through the heating elements.
With advanced designs, patented technology and easy installation, a Sprite water filter is well worth the investment. Solidly made, and with the media being fully recyclable, it is no surprise the filters are used in hospitals, hotels and restaurants across the country.

Steam Shower Design
Once upon a time a bathroom had a simple shower stall. But today, creative designers are changing our outlook dramatically. These rooms are given a different look with a varied range of products, like classically designed tiles and accessories, luxurious steaming units and other features that can turn your bathroom into a private spa.
Showers also play a prominent role in a room's appearance. There are two different kinds of showers: water and steam. Based on individual desires and needs, there is a varied range of steam showers that come in different sizes, shapes and colors, and offer all the new technical options too. Pre-made shower stalls are also offering an astonishing variety of choices at affordable prices.
At present, steam showers are in vogue in spas, rejuvenation centers and also in private homes. These showers use the latest innovations in faucets and plumbing, which are attractive to look at and fun to use. They are designed in multiple ways, with various shower-head options, custom-sliding tub and shower enclosures, sliding doors with showers, and steam shower rooms with swing doors.
These units consist of the same components as other custom shower units. They have options for steam, adjustable steam units, waterfall showers, rain dome showerheads, built-in sound and other features. There are also body spray jets, head and hand showers, thermostatic and volume controls, plus a choice of shelves, shower seats, flooring tile options and shower panel colors. The construction of these steam shower units is frameless, and usually made out of tempered glass. There are computerized steam showers that work automatically.
So accessorize your private room with some unique shower designs, give it an elegant and urban look, and enjoy your spa experience to the fullest.

Shower Drain - Three Ways to Unclog a Blocked Drain
There are several do-it-yourself methods for unclogging a shower drain without the necessity of calling a plumber. By using these methods, you can save yourself a costly, inconvenient visit from your local plumber. Do not feel overwhelmed if you have never unclogged a severe blockage in your drain before. As long as the source of the clog is near the mouth of the drain, you can take care of it yourself. Before you even mess with the pipes, take a look at the drain cover. It may be clogged with hair and grime. A soak in a bucket or the kitchen sink with hot soapy water should do the trick.
Once the cover is clean, then test out the shower drain. If it still drains slowly, there is another problem at hand. You could use a liquid plumber to unclog the shower drain. An environmentally safe option is the best if you choose to use a chemical. If you prefer to keep unwanted chemicals out of your home, there are other options as well. One is to use a plunger. Chances are you already have around your house, and you can use it to dislodge a shower drain blockage essentially in the same way as you would with your toilet.
Using a plumber's snake is another option for clearing a clog in the shower drain. This simple piece of plumbing equipment is ideal for unclogging many pipe blockages. Feed the snake down into the drain and dislodge the obstruction by twisting the crank clockwise to grab the debris lodged in the pipe. You can either pull the snake out and dispose of the clump or simply grind through the blockage to break it up. Either way, flush the pipe with hot water to help break off any remaining chunks.
If you choose to use a chemical liquid plumber to unclog the shower drain, always wear protective eye wear and gloves for safety. Read the label carefully to ensure it will not damage your pipes. For the plunger option, make sure you pump it with enough force to create pressure within the pipe to dislodge the blockage. It may take several attempts to properly dislodge whatever is blocking the shower drain. If you choose the plumbers snake as your tool of choice, be sure to have a bucket set up before you begin so you have a place to put the clump when you pull it free from the drain.

Cheapest Shower Enclosures
That the shower enclosure has redefined the decor of the typical bathroom there is no doubt. Till about two decades ago, showers in the bathroom used to be in a separate section demarcated at the most by a two-inch bar or a shower curtain. Nowadays, enclosing the shower in a cubicle of its own not only gives a chic look on the whole, but also makes for multi jets spouting jets of water (and steam if you choose) so that you can have your own mini-spa right in your home. However, shower enclosures do not come cheap. And the ones that really do aren't worth buying. So, where do you find the cheapest shower enclosures in the UK that won't let you down?
The simple answer is right here. However, don't take our word for it. You should first go out and do a thorough market survey. You can almost write off the chances of find a cheap shower in a mall or a retail store as they can't afford to offer discounts and sales as the online stores can. They have many overheads such as rent, pay for the ground staff, power bills, and the like, which are simply not there for an online store.
Hence, you should catalog the price quotes for the cheapest shower enclosures in the UK in all of the online stores that you can find. Then, of course, you have to narrow down your range according to the type of shower enclosure that you are going to go for. You have to decide on whether the finish is going to plastic, fiber, metal or chrome. Then you have to decide if you want other features such as sauna, vapor proof enclosures, multiple shower jets, and so on. In the end, your needs are going to determine your budget range (or it can even be the other way round).
Anyway, once you have narrowed down your choices, you should now find out the store that gives you the most in that range. In this way, you will be able to find the store that can give you the cheapest shower enclosures in the UK.
Most stores that give cheap enclosures offer low prices only on a few basic models with inferior finishes. Do not be surprised if your cheap enclosure is a Chinese make. On the other hand, only a few stores that offer the cheapest shower enclosures in the UK will give you real value for money products. This is because they are not selling you inferior products - they are giving you great rates on standard models as they can afford to reduce the profit margin by a large amount in contrast to retail stores. Moreover, these stores offer sales that are on at almost any time of the year, and discounts too.
Taking advantage of these sales and discounts is the smartest way to shop for the cheapest shower enclosures in the UK without compromising on quality. However, you should ensure that the online store you go for in the end should be reputed and trustworthy.
