What if my hot water temperature is greater than the rated 4 - 48.9C?Updated 9 months ago

The optimum shower "filtration" effectiveness range for hot water passing through the zazen Shower Filter is 4 – 48.9 degrees celcius.

What this means is that the filter will perform as specified within this temperature range e.g. 99% chlorine reduction etc.

A reduction in the filtration capacity will occur above or below these temperatures.

The actual water temperature when taking a shower (a mix of hot and cold water – not just the hot water temperature) will vary depending on personal preference; however hotter showers will average between 40 – 45 degrees celcius, which is well within the optimum reduction / filtration range of the zazen Shower Filter. 

Did you know – At 48.9 degrees celcius water is close to scolding!
