Shower Filters

Shower filters provide several benefits such as chlorine removal, reduction of soap scum, prevention of dry skin and hair and the removal of unpleasant odors. Many shower filters help balance water ph for better sudsing and cleaning and remove synthetic chemicals in the water that can vaporize and be inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Even if you have un-chlorinated well water, there are benefits to using a shower filter in your home. The elimination of chlorine and chemicals from your shower water is as important as the removal of these contaminants from your drinking water. Some of the reasons for reducing chlorine and synthetic chemicals levels in your shower water include:

  • Chlorine bonds to skin and hair destroying the natural bacterial balance. This may lead to dryness, itching, flaking and premature skin aging.

  • Chlorine gas, chlorine by-products such as Trihalomethanes (THM's), chloroform and many synthetic chemicals may become vaporized in hot shower water and become a concentrated area for toxic gasses. You are consistently inhaling these gasses with regular shower activity and this may pose a long term health risk.

  • Chlorine and most other chemicals can also be absorbed by the skin. These chemicals can therefore enter the body even without direct ingestion from drinking water. You may absorb more chlorine and synthetic chemicals through the skin during your shower than through drinking unfiltered tap water.  

There are primarily two types of media used for shower filters: 

  • Granular-Activated Carbon
  • KDF 
Our shower filters use KDF media as the primary filtration media for Chlorine removal. KDF media removes free chlorine through an electrochemical process and is not compromised by high water temperatures. Unlike carbon, KDF does not hold the chlorine, it changes chlorine from an element into a harmless compound. KDF is also bacteriostatic and will not contribute to fungus and mildew growth within the shower filter.

The Aquasana 2-stage shower filter adds Granular Activated Coconut Carbon filter media to reduce synthetic chemicals in the water. Aquasana's Coconut Granular Activated Carbon is a superior grade of carbon and is most effective at adsorbing chemical contaminants. The addition of coconut based carbon to the shower filter increases the ability of the shower filter to provide complete protection and comprehensive contaminant removal.
