Please note our 100% positive feedback rating!KDF 55 SHOWER WATER FILTER
(Listing is for 2 KDF filters)
Our shower filter contains 100% KDF 55 media. Using KDF 55 media is the most effective way to remove chlorine in hot shower water temperatures with a shower head filter. Tests have proven that carbon shower filters do not perform well in hot shower water temperatures, only in cold. And our KDF 55 media shower filter is effective for one year, unlike most other shower filters that need to be replaced every 6 months. Plus, unlike most other shower filters, this one will ship to you from the United States! We're a family owned company in San Diego, CA and we've been selling this shower filter for over 15 years and have never had any issues with it.
FEATURES & BENEFITS:
-Effectively removes 95-99% of chlorine and controls the buildup of microorganisms such as bacteria, algae, fungi and mold
-A unique feature of the KDF filter is the reminder ring. When you install it, you simply rotate the blue calendar ring to line up with the current month. This will help you to remember to replace the filter the following year to ensure you’re getting the best quality water possible!
-Uses a copper-zinc alloy (KDF 55); the most effective media there is to remove chlorine in water
-The KDF 55 media becomes more effective in higher temperatures (such as in a hot shower) but this is not the case with other filters such as those
containing carbon
-Replace yearly
(or sooner if you smell the presence of chlorine)
-Installs in minutes, with no tools on any shower arm with standard 1/2" pipe threads (
or in-line with our “ShowerStick” portable shower water
softener
)
-For best results, flow should not exceed 2.5 GPM at 60 psi
-4" long, 3" in diameter
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Installs in minutes with no tools on any shower pipe with standard 1/2" pipe threads. Simply unscrew your shower head from the shower pipe, attach the KDF filter to the pipe then add your shower head. *Note: Clean off any KDF media on the exterior of the filter and be sure to
wrap the male threaded fitting with plumber's tape to ensure no leakage.
*Note: Shower head & pipe shown in photo are not included.
What’s so bad about chlorine?
Chlorine dries out the natural protective oils found in your skin and hair. That's why a long swim in a chlorinated pool dries your skin and damages your hair.
Chlorine vaporizes quickly in a hot shower, so you end up breathing chlorine gas. This isn't good for anyone, but chlorine can have a major impact on people with asthma. Prove it for yourself: run a hot shower in an enclosed bathroom for 5 minutes then check for the chemical smell. That's chlorine.

Chlorine is universally used to disinfect water, killing bacteria and other microorganisms. But once it arrives in your home, chlorine can negatively affect your family's long term health, comfort, and even personal appearance.

BEWARE of false and misleading claims made by several online sellers of Shower Water Filters (made with KDF media, carbon or anything else) that they "soften" water. THEY DO NOT SOFTEN WATER! SOFTENING THE WATER REQUIRES THE REMOVAL OF CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM which a shower FILTER is not capable of doing (see for yourself by using a hard water test kit). A shower "filter" mainly removes chlorine which is why so many people who try using shower filters alone don't get the results they were hoping for. To obtain soft water in a shower you need to use a SOFTENER such as a whole house water softener or the portable ShowerStick shower water softener made by WaterSticks (that's us)! Our ShowerStick contains resin beads (as a whole house softener does) that work via Ion Exchange to remove hard water minerals. So if you have skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema (also known as dermatitis) or just very dry skin and/or hair you'll most likely see better results when you soften the water than when you only remove chlorine. And you'll see the best results when you soften AND filter the water. This is the reason we recommend installing the KDF filter in-line with the ShowerStick softener (the water should flow through the filter first in order to filter and protect the softening resin inside the ShowerStick from chlorine).
PLEASE ALSO BEWARE of other shower filters such as those that contain "stages"
For example, those that contain 12-stages might contain KDF 55 media but since they also contain 11 other items, there's therefore only 1/12th the amount of KDF 55 media as ours has. How long can that tiny of an amount of KDF 55 media filter chlorine? Most likely, around 1/12th as long as ours - one month! And what exactly are the other 11 items? Do they really do anything to filter chlorine or anything else from your water? Chances are that the company who sells them doesn't even know. And they might not even show a list of everything included in the 12 stages and an explanation of what they do! They've found a way to attract buyers with a clever (but not so honest) marketing technique (stages) to try to make their filter stand out from the others. But is having more "stages" really going to do a better job? And in that tiny of a quantity of each one? Having 100% KDF 55 media inside the chamber of a shower filter is the very best way to filter chlorine (and other contaminants shown below) in a shower.
