The EMKE Shower Filter utilizes a high-quality PP cotton material to filter out chlorine, heavy metals, and other impurities from your shower water. Its durable and waterproof construction ensures excellent sealing, preventing leaks and drips. Regular use helps protect your shower system from limescale deposits, especially in hard water areas, and contributes to improved water quality for your skin and hair.

Setup and Installation
Installing the EMKE Shower Filter is a straightforward process. Please follow these steps carefully to ensure proper function and prevent leaks.
- Prepare for Installation: Ensure you have the new EMKE shower filter and any necessary tools (e.g., wrench if connections are tight).
- Turn Off Water Supply: Locate the main water valve for your shower or the entire bathroom and turn it off. This is crucial to prevent water leakage during filter replacement.
- Remove Old Filter (if applicable): If replacing an existing filter, carefully unscrew and remove the old filter cartridge from its housing. Be prepared for some residual water to drain.
- Insert New Filter: Align the new EMKE shower filter with the housing. Gently screw it into place. Ensure it is seated correctly and not cross-threaded.
- Tighten Securely: Hand-tighten the filter until snug. If necessary, use a wrench for a final quarter-turn, but do not overtighten, as this can damage the seals or housing.
- Restore Water Supply: Slowly turn the main water valve back on. Check for any leaks around the filter connections. If leaks occur, turn off the water, re-tighten the filter, and check again.
- Flush the Filter: Run the shower for a few minutes to flush out any air or loose carbon particles from the new filter. The water may appear cloudy initially, which is normal and will clear up.

Troubleshooting
- Reduced Water Flow:
- Cause: Filter is clogged with impurities.
- Solution: Replace the filter cartridge.
- Leaks at Connections:
- Cause: Filter not tightened sufficiently or seals are improperly seated/damaged.
- Solution: Turn off water supply, check that the filter is correctly aligned and tightened. Inspect rubber seals for damage and replace if necessary. Do not overtighten.
- Water Still Appears Cloudy/Smells:
- Cause: New filter not adequately flushed, or filter is expired/ineffective.
- Solution: Run water for a longer period to flush. If the issue persists, ensure the filter is new and correctly installed. Consider replacing the filter if it's nearing its recommended lifespan.
