Your shower head might feel clean, but the water flowing through it often contains chlorine, heavy metals, rust, and sediment that strip moisture from your hair and irritate sensitive skin. A dedicated shower filter sits between your wall pipe and your existing shower head, removing up to 99% of these contaminants without requiring you to replace anything else in your bathroom.

Our 15-stage shower filters use a proprietary blend of KDF-55, calcium sulphite, activated carbon, and ceramic balls to neutralise chlorine, reduce limescale, and filter out particles as small as 0.01mm. The result is water that feels noticeably softer and smells cleaner from the very first use. Over 500,000 customers trust StoneStream filtration to protect their hair and skin every day.

Unlike whole-house filtration systems that cost thousands and require professional plumbing, our shower filters install in under 5 minutes with no tools. The universal half-inch connection fits virtually every shower head sold in the UK and US, including fixed rain heads, handheld wands, and dual combo systems. Each replacement cartridge lasts approximately 10,000 litres (roughly 3-4 months for an average household), and swapping one takes less than a minute.

If you already own a StoneStream filtered shower head, an inline shower filter adds a second layer of protection. Pairing the two creates a multi-stage system that catches contaminants the built-in stones miss, which is especially valuable in areas with very hard or heavily treated water.

Shower Filter FAQs

Q: What is the difference between a shower filter and a filtered shower head?
A: A shower filter is a standalone cartridge unit that attaches between the wall pipe and your current shower head. It lets you keep the head you already love while adding powerful filtration. A filtered shower head is an all-in-one replacement that combines the head and filter into a single unit. Both approaches remove chlorine and impurities, but a standalone filter gives you flexibility to pair it with any head.

Q: Will this filter fit my shower setup?
A: Our shower filters use a universal half-inch (G1/2) thread that fits over 99% of shower hoses and wall pipes in the UK. Fixed heads, rain heads, handheld models, and mixer valves all use this standard connection. No adapters or tools are needed. If you have an unusual setup, our support team can help you check compatibility before you order.

Q: How do I know when the filter cartridge needs replacing?
A: Each cartridge lasts approximately 10,000 litres, which works out to about 3-4 months for a typical household. Signs that it is time to replace include reduced water flow, a return of chlorine smell, or visible discolouration of the cartridge media. We recommend setting a calendar reminder so you never go too long between changes.

Q: Does a shower filter reduce water pressure?
A: No. Our filters are engineered with an open-flow design that maintains full water pressure while filtering. Independent testing shows less than 5% pressure reduction even at the end of the cartridge life. You will not notice any difference in your shower experience.
