How it works
| Activated Carbon | Reduces chlorine, odour, and other contaminants. |
| KDF 55 | Targets heavy metals and bacteria, softens water, and extends the life of the other media. Antibacterial. |
| Calcium Sulfite | Fast-acting chlorine reduction for smoother skin and softer hair. |
| Mineral Ball Blend | Adds essential minerals that support skin and hair hydration. |
| Maifan Stone | A natural mineral stone rich in skin-supportive trace minerals. |
| Vitamin C | Neutralises chlorine and chloramines for a cleaner finish. |
The ABS housing is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and high-flow — water passes through without any noticeable pressure drop.
Why shower water matters
NZ tap water is treated with chlorine, which is essential for safe drinking water but no longer needed by the time water reaches your shower. Chlorine in hot shower water can strip natural oils from skin and hair, causing dryness and irritation — effects that are more noticeable during hot showers when chlorine is more volatile. Heavy metals from pipework can also contribute over time.
Filtering shower water reduces these irritants and helps preserve the skin's natural moisture barrier and hair structure.
Maintenance
Replace the filter cartridge every 3–4 months for couples, or every 2–3 months for families of four or more. Replacement takes under 30 seconds with no tools. Filter life depends on your water quality and shower duration.
