Shower Water Filter - Showerheads with Filter

How does a shower filter work?

A shower filter for hard water is a true game changer when it comes to the quality of water you deal with every day. But how does it actually work? Inside the filter, there is activated carbon, one of the most effective filtering materials. Activated carbon can capture and retain harmful chemical compounds, such as chlorine, as well as neutralize unpleasant odors. In addition, you will often find KDF media (a mixture of copper and zinc), which helps remove heavy metals such as nickel, chromium, or lead.

Hot, chlorinated water can exacerbate skin irritations and health issues because harmful chemicals are more easily absorbed through the skin and inhaled in hot water.

Benefits? A shower filter not only improves water quality but also has a direct impact on your health and appearance. Regular use of filtered water alleviates problems with itchy skin, dryness, or dandruff. Your hair? It will be less dry, softer, and healthier, while your skin will become more hydrated and free from irritation. So, if you want to say “enough” to hair and skin problems, a shower filter for hard water is something you really need.

What does a shower water filter remove?

A shower filter removes a whole range of harmful substances that may be present in the water. What we usually don't see can have a huge impact on our health and well-being. Here are some of the contaminants that our filters remove:

• Calcium and magnesium salts – these are responsible for hard water and the deposits that settle on the showerhead and your skin.

• Heavy metals, such as nickel, chromium, or lead – these substances are harmful to health and can lead to serious skin problems.

• Fungi and bacteria – filters effectively eliminate microorganisms that can cause skin infections.

• Chlorine – chlorine is necessary in water, but not in your bath! Its excess dries out the skin, hair, and can cause allergic reactions.

The filter alleviates these problems, ensuring that your bath is pure pleasure without unwanted additives.
