Here are my results...
Sprite Showerhead
So after 3 weeks of use, i still find the Sprite to be overly drying. Ive run a few tests, amateur of course, but here are the findings
It definitely removes alot of chlorine, i ran a test, and id say it removes 90%, while i found my water before wasnt overtly chlorinated, after it was nearly completely chlorine free
It still doesnt do anything to reduce the hardness of the water, Total Dissolves Solid test revealed 200 ppm. Which is the same as the regular tap water, on the charted the tester comes with 200 ppm is categorized as Hard Water
Finally, i ran a pH test on my water, its actually quite disheartening. The pH of the water is at 8.5, which is an increase of almost one point. The regular tap has about 7.6 pH
Now im Happy that the chlorine has been removed, but im wondering about the alkalinity of the water im bathing in. Is that high of a pH (pH 8.5 or so) drying out my naturally acidic skin (pH 5.5 or so), or is it the high dissolved solids, at 200 ppm, which classifies as hard water.
(All tests were done with COLD water, the readings were worse with warm or hot)
Thanks to anyone with answers and i hope the testing helped |
