Over time, the filter in your Elysir showerhead captures impurities, sediments, and other contaminants. While this is great for ensuring clean water, it means the filter can become saturated and less effective. Replacing it regularly—depending on your water quality and frequency of use—ensures maximum performance and extends the life of your showerhead.
What You'll Need
Before starting, gather the following:
- A new Elysir replacement filter (compatible with your showerhead model).
- A soft cloth or towel.
- Optional: Rubber gloves (to help grip the parts).
Step-by-Step Instructions
Turn Off the Water Supply
Make sure the water is completely turned off at your shower valve to avoid any unexpected leaks or splashes.
Unscrew the Bottom of the Showerhead
Locate the bottom end of the showerhead where the filter is housed. Hold the showerhead firmly and twist the bottom section counterclockwise to unscrew it. If it’s too tight, use a soft cloth for better grip or rubber gloves to avoid damaging the surface.
Remove the Old Filter
Once the bottom section is open, you’ll see the existing filter. Gently pull it out, taking care not to damage any internal components of the showerhead.
Inspect the Housing
Check the area where the filter was located for any debris, mineral buildup, or blockages. Wipe it clean with a soft, damp cloth if necessary.
Insert the New Filter
Take your replacement filter and align it properly with the filter housing. Insert it into place, ensuring it sits snugly and securely. The filter should fit without force—if it doesn’t, double-check the alignment.
Reattach the Bottom Section
Carefully screw the bottom section of the showerhead back into place by twisting it clockwise. Tighten it firmly but avoid overtightening, which could damage the threads.
Test for Leaks
Turn the water back on and test the showerhead to ensure everything is securely in place. Check for any leaks around the bottom section. If you notice any, tighten the bottom section slightly more.
Enjoy Your Upgraded Shower Experience
With the new filter in place, your shower water is now cleaner and healthier. Enjoy the difference it makes to your skin, hair, and overall well-being!
