Frequently Asked Questions

How exactly does Vitamin C neutralise chlorine chemically?

Vitae™ Infusion uses Vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid, which donates electrons to chlorine and chloramine compounds as water flows through the filter. This converts them into harmless chloride ions through a true chemical transformation, rather than simply trapping particles the way carbon filtration does.

Does it neutralise chloramine as well as chlorine?

Yes. Chloramine, a chlorine-ammonia compound, is notably resistant to removal by simple carbon filters. Vitamin C neutralisation reacts with both chlorine and chloramine, which is part of why it’s used as the primary treatment method rather than carbon-based filtration alone.

Does it work as effectively in warm, fast-flowing shower water?

Yes. Shower filtration operates in high-flow, warm-water conditions that many traditional filter media struggle with. Vitamin C neutralisation reacts rapidly regardless of water temperature or flow rate, so the reaction completes without slowing the shower or reducing pressure.

Where does Vitae™ Infusion sit in SUHAE’s overall filtration sequence?

Vitae™ Infusion is the first active stage water encounters as it enters the shower head, immediately reducing chlorine and chloramine presence. Water then passes through Purea™ Core’s ceramic bead and micro-fabric filtration for further refinement before exiting through the Aera™ Flow spray system.

Is Vitamin C in shower water the same as a topical Vitamin C skincare serum?

No, the mechanisms are different. A topical serum is applied directly to skin for its own antioxidant benefits, while Vitamin C dissolved in flowing shower water primarily works to neutralise chlorine and chloramine before they reach the skin. The well-documented benefit here is reduced chemical exposure, which supports the skin’s natural moisture barrier, rather than a direct topical treatment effect.
