How to Install

1. Remove & Prep: Unscrew your old shower head (counter-clockwise). Clean the shower arm threads and wrap them 3-4 times clockwise with Teflon tape for a leak-proof seal.
2. Attach Filter: Screw the new filter onto the taped shower arm. Hand-tighten firmly so it is snug.
3. Attach Shower Head: Screw your shower head onto the bottom connection of the filter. Hand-tighten firmly.
4. Flush System: Turn on the water and let it run for 1-2 minutes to flush the new cartridge. This will clear any harmless carbon dust.
5. Check for Leaks: Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free. Tighten slightly if needed. Enjoy your purified shower.

FAQs

How does a 15-stage shower filter help with dry skin and frizzy hair?
This filter is designed to tackle the #1 cause of dry skin and brittle hair: chlorine. The 15 stages, including Activated Carbon, KDF 55, and Calcium Sulfite, work together to neutralize chlorine and chloramine from your water. By removing these harsh chemicals, the filter helps protect your skin and hair's natural oils, leading to softer skin, a less itchy scalp, and smoother, shinier hair.
Does this shower filter soften hard water and reduce limescale?
This is a common question. While this filter is not a salt-based water softener, it is specifically designed to combat the effects of hard water. Its filtration layers (like Alkaline Balls and Mineralized Balls) help reduce the concentration of hard minerals like calcium and magnesium. This action helps to visibly reduce limescale buildup on your showerhead and glass doors and makes the water feel softer on your skin.
Can a shower filter help reduce hair loss or thinning?
Many customers find that a shower filter helps reduce hair breakage and shedding. This is because hard water and heavy metals can build up on the scalp, clogging follicles, while chlorine can make hair strands weak and brittle. By removing these impurities, the filter creates a healthier, cleaner environment for your scalp. This can lead to stronger hair, less breakage, and reduced scalp irritation, which many users associate with a reduction in hair fall.
How often do I need to replace the 15-stage filter cartridge?
For optimal performance, we recommend replacing the filter cartridge every 3 months. This is based on an average use for a family of four, or after filtering approximately 10,000-12,000 gallons of water. If you live in an area with particularly hard water or high levels of sediment, you may notice it's time for a change (e.g., a slight drop in pressure) closer to the 4-month mark.
Will this filter fit my shower, and will it reduce my water pressure?
Yes, this filter is designed with a universal 1/2-inch connection that fits over 99% of standard shower types, including fixed, rain, and handheld showerheads. Installation takes about 2 minutes and requires no tools. The filter is engineered as a high-flow system, so you should not experience any noticeable drop in your existing water pressure.

Reviews

So needed this . So glad I found it . Very excited

"Easy install and immediate change in the way I felt after shower. I am so glad I got . I think I read it last for 6 months. Do I need to replace the whole thing?"

— Dorcas (5/5)

Very refreshing experience!

"I love this unit. I purchased the two in one stationary and hand-held model. My only concern is the construction. It is NOT chrome. It is plastic. I think at the over $100 price it should be metal. I hope it holds up for awhile because I do like it's performance."

— Cheryl J. (5/5)

Been using Stone Stream for years

"I've been using the hand held unit with the beads in addition to the larger, in-line filter for several years. I can honestly say I have noticed a vast improvement in the condition of my hair and skin. I have extremely hard well water at my house, and the changes since using these products are amazing!!! I will continue using Stone Stream refills. And will replace my shower head if this one ever breaks. But, it's still going strong after several years now!"

— Vicki (5/5)

Heavy

"Wanted to love it, but it's so heavy that my shower head/holder no longer stays up. We could probably buy a sturdier shower holder that would work, but just a warning for anyone like me with a bog standard shower that the attachment means my shower head just slides down the rail. Had to take off the StoneStream attachment :("

— Saskia (3/5)

Would recommend this product, it’s great.

"Our water is so much softer, my hair and skin feeling so much better, not so dry."

— Mrs C. (5/5)

Get one

"I bought 2, one for the main bathroom and one for the ensuite, immediately felt the difference in my skin and hair, the feeling of the water also. Easy to fit and I'd highly recommend getting one of you're in a hard water area."

— Megan (5/5)

Brilliant filter

"I replace this in my shower every 3 months. Makes a noticeable difference."

— James (5/5)

Great addition!

"Definitely makes the water softer and reduces limescale which is great - a little bit bulky to add to the shower handle so we might move this to our other bathroom and buy the shower handle with stones now we know how great it works!"

— Catherine (4/5)

A quality product

— Ian B. (5/5)
