Quick Change Shower Water Filter | Reduces Chlorine, Chemicals & Heavy Metals (GT39-17)
Quick Change Shower Water Filter | Reduces Chlorine, Chemicals & Heavy Metals (GT39-17)
The new and improved formula contains Calcium Sulfite & FAR Infrared Filter media for superior Chlorine Reduction for showers.
The new 'Quick Change' Filter design makes ongoing maintenance a simple task. Simply twist off the old filter and twist on the new filter. No need for a Plumber or handyman - saving you money!
Calcium Sulfite (CaSO3):
Calcium sulfite is 100 times more effective than activated carbon at reducing chlorine and heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and aluminium.
FAR Infrared:
Far Infrared Ceramic balls release a weak electric current (0.06 mA) (which is similar to the body's natural current) along with trace elements such as lithium, iodine and selenium. Because they release up to 0.06mA of Bioelectricity into the water, this helps in breaking down bigger molecule groups of water into smaller ones, essentially "activating" the water and providing a mildly alkaline pH.
Replacement Filters
Cartridges can last 2-6 months depending on water quality and usage volume. To replace your cartridge simply turn off your mains water supply and unscrew the shower hose from the filter. Take off the outer casing pull out the old cartridge and put in the new one. Then screw the casing back on and screw the shower hose back onto the filter.
Before Purchase/Installation:
- Do not use with microbiologically unsafe water or water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
- Operation Pressure must not exceed 500 kPa. If the pressure exceeds this, you must install a pressure limiting device before the tap.
- This device is designed to be used on standard ½” BSP threads. This is a standard size for most showers in Australia.
- Water quality may affect the life of the filter cartridge, this can become an indication of when you require a cartridge change if the filter blocks before the recommended replacement time.
- Prior to usage, it is recommended to run the water briefly in to ensure the filter has been flushed and fitted correctly.
- The maximum temperature of this water filter is 55°C. Not for use with straight Hot Water. Using Hot water on this filter for extended periods may cause damage or failure and void warranty.
Installation:
- Remove the existing shower head from the wall fitting (1/2”).
- Identify if the Elbow Adaptor is required for installation. An Elbow adaptor is commonly used when the wall fitting does not come straight out (i.e. the fitting runs parallel to the wall).
- Apply 6 rounds of thread tape to the male wall fitting to ensure the filter seals.
- Screw the shower filter onto the wall fitting, paying attention to the flow direction of the arrow on top. CAUTION: Go slowly to avoid cross-threading.
- DO NOT overtighten the filter, doing so may crack the thread. If leaking occurs, remove and re-apply 8 rounds of thread tape.
- Apply 6 rounds of thread tape to both sides of the ½” Male-Male Joiner and insert the Long Side of the joiner directly into the outlet of the shower filter. Hand tightening is sufficient for now.
- Screw the shower head onto the exposed male thread and tighten it. Both sides will tighten at the same time, stop when the seal is tight and the shower head is in the correct orientation.
- Run cold water through the filter for 1 minute and check for leaks in the thread joins of the filter.
- Turn the tap off and remove the filter cartridge by twisting it anti-clockwise.
- Set the filter reminder to 3 months in advance as a filter change reminder, replace the filter and it is ready to use.
Filter Change:
- While the water is turned off, simply twist the filter anti-clockwise to release it.
- Discard the old filter and replace it with the new filter by twisting it in clockwise.
- Flush the filter for 1 minute.
Troubleshooting:
- Q: Water Leaking from threaded Connections
A: Re-apply more thread tape OR remove thread tape and re-install with silicone washer. - Q: Slow Flow rate.
A: Filter Requires Replacement, OR Check to see if any debris in filter or shower head. - Q: Taste or Odour Issue in water
A: If the filter is new, allow a longer flushing time. If the filter is older – replace the filter.

Return Policy
Due to the nature of the products we sell, a strict return policy is in place. We work with food-grade certified materials that must be un-opened and un-used, so as to be able to be re-sold. This policy falls in line with the Australian Consumer Law, which is designed to protect BOTH BUYERS AND SELLERS.
You may receive a refund or credit of equal amount, less the Restocking/Out-of-Pocket Shipping Expense Fee, if applicable, and any other deductions that are relevant.
- 30-Day Returns Policy: Returns will not be accepted without prior approval or after 30 days of the invoice date.
- Wrongly Purchased Items/Changes of Mind Policy: Wrongly Purchased Items, or Change of Mind Purchases may be returned for a merchandise credit. This applies to, but is not limited to purchases of products that are:
- The Wrong Size;
- The Wrong System;
- The Wrong Replacement Pack;
- Due to a Change of Mind;
- Due to Buyer Error, whereby the buyer has failed to conduct proper due diligence (including contacting FSA prior to purchase in order to clarify the relevant technical specifications, compatibility, requirements etc.) to ensure the product purchased from us is the correct product for their requirements.
- Restocking/Out-of-Pocket Shipping Expense Fees Policy: All returns will incur a 17.5% restocking fee OR an out-of-pocket shipping expense fee, whichever is greater.
- This fee is in place to cover the administrative expense incurred in processing the return and/or the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by us in shipping the item to you. FSA may use its discretion to determine the restocking fee. Please note this policy falls in line with the ACL, and is designed to protect us as the seller from losses incurred due to buyer error. This means that you will NOT receive a full refund of the original purchase price - you will bear the cost of shipping the product back to us, and then you will receive a credit equal to the purchase price of the product LESS the Restocking/Out-of-Pocket Shipping Expense Fee. Please refer to our Shipping Policies (below) for further clarification.
- Low-Value Returns: Please note that with low-value items, sometimes the cost of sending the item back to us may be more expensive to you, than simply keeping the item. For example, let's say you have ordered 3x meters of the wrong-sized tubing for your needs and paid $12.00. If, for example, it cost us $7.69 to send the item to you, and it would cost you $7.69 to send the item back to us, overall you would be $3.38 worse off (due to incurring $7.69 to send the item back to us, and having $7.69 taken out of the credit) than if you had kept the item and re-ordered the correct product for your needs.
- Shipping Policies:
- Free Shipping Offer: As part of our offer of Free shipping Australia-Wide, FSA reserves the right to select the most cost-effective courier to effect delivery of the product to you. We make no guarantee as to how long an item will take to arrive due to unforeseen circumstances outside of ours/the couriers' control, including but not limited to: Staff Shortages, Supply Chain Demand, Extreme Weather Events etc.
- Express Shipping Policy: If you require an item on an urgent or Express basis, it is your (the buyer's) responsibility to contact us directly by telephone on [phone removed by eBay] prior to purchase, in order that we may quote you the options available for Express Delivery to your nominated address, and to organise additional payment for this Express Service. Express Shipping is not included in our offer of free shipping - this service will come at an additional cost payable by the buyer.
- Late Shipping Policy: Given that we offer the option for customers to organise Express Shipping with us prior to purchase, cancellations or refunds will NOT be issued on the basis of late or delayed shipping where the customer has opted for our Free Shipping offer. If the item (sent via Free Shipping), arrives late and the buyer wishes to return the item on this basis, the buyer will be liable for the cost of returning the product to us and a Restocking/Out-of-Pocket Shipping Expense Fee will be applicable to the return, as per the listed returns policy line items above. The customer will be issued a merchandise credit.
- Our offer of Free Shipping does not apply to Returns: Whilst we offer Free Shipping, this does not mean that there is no cost to ship the product - obviously, a shipping expense is incurred, and as with all e-commerce operators that offer Free Shipping, the cost of shipping the product from our warehouse to your nominated shipping address is built into the price of the product. The offer of Free Shipping therefore only applies to the act of FSA supplying the product to you, and does not cover the cost of returning the product from the customer to FSA.
- Returned to Sender Items: In the case of the buyer being unavailable to sign, refusing delivery, or the item being sent back to us for whatever reason, FSA may, at its discretion, pass the cost of the product being Returned to Sender (i.e. being returned back to us), back onto the buyer. Refer to Restocking/Out-of-Pocket Shipping Expense Fees (above).
- Lost Parcels: If an item is deemed to be LOST IN TRANSIT by the courier, the customer is entitled to a replacement product or refund in line with the ACL. In the case of a replacement product, FSA reserves the right to send the replacement product in line with its Free Shipping offer. If you do require the replacement item urgently, please get in touch with our customer service team directly to organise Express Shipping.
- Product Damage & Product Faults: Any damage to products that are not reported to FSA within 48 business hours of receipted delivery is not covered under our transit warranty. Return shipping is to be paid by the buyer to the address provided by FSA. It is recommended that the customer applies a transit warranty to the return freight item/s, in case of damage.
- Faults: Should the item appear faulty or doesn’t work as described, you must supply written/photographic/video evidence of the fault to us, so that we may assess whether the unit/item must be returned for testing (if requested). If testing is requested, return postage is to be paid by the buyer.
- If the unit/item is deemed to be faulty, compensation will be provided for the postage cost (proof of cost required).
- If the unit/item is deemed to be in working order and as described, the buyer will be responsible for the cost of return postage of the product from FSA's premises, back to the buyer.
- Minor Damage: Any damages (minor, that can be repaired) will incur a fee, that will be deducted from the total refund which will be equal to the cost of the replacement parts (List Price) and labour charges (if applicable) to repair the system(s). This will be separate from the Restocking/Out-of-Pocket Shipping Expense Fees.
- Major Damage: Any damage considered to be major and not feasible for repair may be refused and the return request will be void. The customer will be responsible for the return freight or disposal of the damaged unit.
- Faults: Should the item appear faulty or doesn’t work as described, you must supply written/photographic/video evidence of the fault to us, so that we may assess whether the unit/item must be returned for testing (if requested). If testing is requested, return postage is to be paid by the buyer.
