What This Filter Is Designed to Do
This is not a whole-home water system. It's not certified to remove PFAS or lead. It's a multi-stage shower filter that uses proven filtration media to reduce chlorine and odor before water hits your skin.
That matters more than you think. The EPA allows up to 4 mg/L of chlorine in municipal water as a disinfection residual. That's what you're showering in — and what can dry out your skin, strip your hair, and create that chemical smell in your bathroom.
Our 8-stage filter uses KDF55, activated carbon, and calcium sulfite — the same core media used by filters costing 2-3x more. The difference? We don't charge $150 for it, and we don't pretend it does things it doesn't.
If you need more — whole-home chlorine and chloramine removal, certified contaminant reduction, or water softening — we can help with that too. That's the advantage of buying from a water company, not just a filter brand.
8 STAGES OF FILTRATION
Stainless Steel Mesh
Captures sediment, rust, and large particles before they reach the filtration media.
KDF55 Media
Designed to reduce chlorine through a redox (reduction-oxidation) process. Also helps inhibit bacterial growth within the filter.
Calcium Sulfite
Provides additional chlorine reduction, particularly effective in hot water where activated carbon is less efficient.
Activated Carbon
Designed to reduce chlorine taste and odor, along with some organic compounds, through adsorption.
Ceramic Balls
Helps balance water pH for a gentler shower feel on skin and hair.
Tourmaline
Releases negative ions that may help soften the feel of water on skin and hair.
Alkaline Ceramic Balls
Designed to support pH balance and provide a smoother, less harsh shower experience.
Fine Mesh Filter
Final stage that captures any remaining fine particulates before water reaches your skin.

WRAP T-TAPE

ATTACH FILTER & SHOWER HEAD
Screw on the filter and re-attach your showerhead.
What We Won't Tell You
They'll tell you their filter "removes 99% of contaminants" or "eliminates heavy metals and PFAS" without any third-party certification to back it up.
We'd rather be honest:
This filter does not carry NSF/ANSI performance certifications. Neither do most shower filters in this price range — including many that cost significantly more. The filtration media we use (KDF55, activated carbon, calcium sulfite) are well-established and widely used across the industry, but we're not going to claim certified performance we can't document.
This filter is not designed to reduce chloramine. Chloramine requires significantly more contact time than a shower filter can provide. If your municipality uses chloramine instead of chlorine, a whole-home filtration system is the right solution — not a shower filter. We're happy to help you figure that out.
This filter does not soften water. If you have hard water causing scale buildup, you'll need a water softener or whole-home conditioning system. This filter can help reduce the drying effects of chlorine on your skin and hair, but it does not remove calcium and magnesium.
Who This Filter Is GoodFor

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Chloramine requires significantly more contact time than any shower filter can provide — this applies to our filter and every other shower filter on the market, regardless of what they claim. If your municipality uses chloramine (many do), a whole-home filtration system is the right solution. We offer free consultations to help you figure out what's in your water and what system fits.
We recommend replacing the cartridge every 90 days for optimal performance. Depending on your incoming water quality and shower usage, filters can last up to 6 months. You'll notice reduced water flow when it's time. Subscribe & Save for automatic delivery so you never have to think about it.
Most customers report no noticeable change in water pressure. The multi-stage design is engineered to maintain flow while filtering. If you experience reduced pressure, it's usually a sign the filter is catching sediment and needs replacement.
Yes. The filter fits all standard ½" threaded shower arms, which covers the vast majority of showers in the U.S. It works with fixed, handheld, and rain shower heads. You keep your existing shower head — the filter installs between the arm and the head.
This filter does not carry NSF/ANSI performance certifications. The filtration media we use — KDF55, activated carbon, and calcium sulfite — are industry-standard materials with well-documented properties, but we won't claim certified performance we can't verify. If third-party certification is important to you, our whole-home systems carry WQA certifications under NSF/ANSI 42, 44, and 372.
Many of our customers report softer skin and hair after installing the filter. Chlorine is a known irritant that can strip natural oils from your skin and hair. By reducing chlorine at the shower head, you may notice less dryness, less irritation, and better results from your existing hair and skin products.
A shower filter is a great starting point — it's affordable, installs in minutes, and you'll feel the difference right away. But it only treats one shower. A whole-home filtration system treats every tap, shower, and appliance in your house. Many of our customers start with a shower filter and upgrade to whole-home later. We offer free consultations to help you decide what makes sense for your situation.
Most shower filters in the $100-$170 range use the same core filtration media we do — KDF, activated carbon, calcium sulfite. The price difference is usually branding, packaging, and marketing spend, not filtration performance. We keep our price fair because we'd rather earn your trust here and be the company you call when you're ready for a bigger investment in your water.
