Abstract
A shower dechlorinator is fabricated in the form of a short cylindrical filter housing. A first end cap is provided on one end of the housing, and this end cap is threaded onto the outlet pipe for a shower. A second end cap seals the other end of the housing and is adapted to be attached to a shower head. The filter housing is filled with granulated or randomly oriented fibrous material which chemically interacts with chlorine in the water passing through the unit. Typical filter material is in the form of a copper/zinc metal alloy.
