Showersafe has been designed as a
cost effective and easy to implement way of reducing the risks
of legionnaire?s disease. It can be installed in your existing
shower roses and hoses. The unique system consists of small
silver and copper filter mesh balls Dropped loosely into the
rose and the hose. Filter washers retain the balls in their
respective places.
Showersafe works by using silver
and copper ions to kill off bacteria in the stagnant water
remaining in the shower. This occurs after the shower is used,
with the mesh balls falling to the lowest point in the shower
hose and shower rose along with the retained water. As the
water begins to stagnate, the biocidal effect of the silver
and algaecidal effect of the copper combine to take effect.
Showersafe gives you, peace of mind with the additional
protection from Legionnaires Disease.
The "showersafe" kit
contains
10 silver mesh balls
10 copper mesh balls
2 filter washers
1 waterproof label
To fit "showersafe" to a standard shower assembly
5 silver and 5 copper balls are dropped loosely into the shower
rose. One of the two filter washers is fitted in the connection
between the shower rose and the hose.
The stagnant water between the mixer valve and the rose is treated
by putting the other 5 silver and 5 copper balls into the hose.
The second filter washer is fitted at the connection between
the hose and the mixer valve.
A water proof label is provided to attach to the shower to indicate
it has "Showersafe" fitted.
To fit "showersafe" to rigid pipework shower assembly
If the pipe work between the mixer valve and the shower rose is rigid, the filter washer needs to be fitted into a "filter support insert" and the unit fitted into the pipe work near to the mixer valve. The "filter support insert" is easily fitted with simple compression fittings.
If the rigid pipe work is copper it is not necessary to use the copper mesh balls.
Miscellaneous Installations
The "Showersafe" kit and accessories can be used in many locations to reduce the risks with legionella bacteria, particularly little used outlets, temporary dead legs, spa pipe work, eye wash units, emergency showers etc.
Instructions are included in each kit for fitting to a shower rose and hose assembly.
