Do You Need a Shower Filter?
Hard water, chlorine, and dry skin — when a filter helps and which cartridge to buy next.
Signs your water is the problem
Itchy scalp after every wash, soap that won't lather, or white scale on fixtures often point to minerals or chlorine — not your shampoo.
Filter vs. shower head
A filter addresses water quality; a high-pressure head improves spray feel. Many households use both: filter at the arm, head for modes and reach.
Replace on schedule
Most cartridges last 4–6 months depending on usage. Set a calendar reminder when you install — performance drops slowly, so it's easy to forget.
