FAQs - The Shower FilterUpdated 5 months ago


Why should I filter my shower water?

You may not realise it, but the water you shower in can have a significant impact on the health and appearance of your hair and skin. Here are some ways in which unfiltered shower water can harm you:

  • Removing natural oils from hair and skin can damage, dry out, and irritate them.
  • Breaking down amino acids in hair weakens it and can lead to split ends.
  • Skin irritation, such as eczema, itchiness, hives, and rashes, can be caused by showering.
  • Dissolving hair lipids can make hair look less shiny and strong.
  • Reactions with melanin in hair may alter its color.
  • Collagen loss may be accelerated by the formation of free radicals due to heavy metals.


How does the Shower Filter Work?

  • The Shower Filter uses ultra-advanced 4-stage filtration technology, without compromising water pressure.
  • The refill consists of 4 filter stages that absorb chemicals, gases, metals and organic elements thanks to its structure.
  • As the water passes through the filter (calcium sulphate, KDF-55, crystalline quartz and limescale inhibitor), all the contaminants are trapped by the different phases. The result is clean, filtered water ready for use.
  • Filter rate: 3.8 L/min or 15 seconds to filter 1 L
  • Filtration capacity of one refill: 40,000 L
  • Substances removed: +70


How do I install the Shower Filter?

Below is a video showing you how to install the Shower Filter. 


When do I change the Refill?

The refill cartridge should be changed every 6 months - The quality of the water and the filtering efficiency can only be guaranteed up to a capacity of use equivalent to this period. If you use the refill beyond these 6 months, the filtering efficiency of contaminants such as pesticides and herbicides, VOCs and heavy metals will no longer meet our quality parameters.
