Overview

Not a refill cartridge, the VivaSpring is the complete compact filter body with its cartridge fitted and a polished chrome finish. It uses patented filtration technology to reduce contaminants found in shower water.

Third party testing and WaterSense recognition support the filtering claims, and the cartridge is rated for six months. Water supplies that use chloramines may see reduced chlorine performance, so check with the local utility.

Who it's for

Bathrooms where skin and hair care are priorities and the water supply uses free chlorine are the best fit. Homes treated with chloramines, or with pressure outside the stated range, should check suitability first.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • KDF filtration media
  • NSF/ANSI 177 tested
  • Compact chrome body
Cons
  • Not evaluated for chloramines
  • Pressure range must match your supply
  • Cartridge needs replacing regularly

Performance notes

Water passes through the KDF media, where a redox reaction reduces free chlorine and some metals. Contact time matters, and the cartridge loses capacity as it fills, which is why replacement every six months is advised. Supply pressure within the stated range supports even flow.
