Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) Shower Filter Media

Quick Answer

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) media neutralizes both free chlorine and chloramine through a chemical reaction. It is the best-known shower-filter option for chloramine, but because the medium is consumed as it works, cartridge life is short — often 1 to 3 months.

Problem

Chloramine is increasingly used by municipalities, and most media handle it poorly. Shoppers who do not know about vitamin C media may buy a filter that cannot address their water.
