What is in the water.

Six things a US tap can carry into the shower. Tap one for what it is, where it comes from and the limit that applies.

Chlorine

The EPA caps the chlorine residual at 4.0 mg/L. Chlorine dissipates when water stands or heats, and it reacts quickly with ascorbic acid.

What it does
Keeps water safe on the way to you; a residual is kept in the pipes.
Where to look
Most US systems. Philadelphia reports about 0.2 to 2 ppm, by distance and season.

EPA drinking water regulations

Chloramine

Chloramine is stable for days, so it does not leave water that stands or heats. The EPA caps it at 4.0 mg/L, the same as chlorine. Boston’s utility notes that chlorine-rated NSF/ANSI 177 shower filters may not work effectively on it.

What it does
A longer-lasting disinfectant, used for more than one in five Americans.
Where to look
Large systems including Los Angeles, Denver, Dallas, Houston, Philadelphia, Washington DC and Boston.

EPA on chloramines

Trihalomethanes

A 2000 study found the highest blood trihalomethane levels in people who took ten-minute showers, above those who drank a liter of the same water. Bathing and showering are important exposure routes.

What it does
Formed when chlorine reacts with natural organic matter in the water.
Where to look
Regulated at 80 µg/L, total. Reported in your utility’s annual water quality report.

Backer et al., 2000

Haloacetic acids

Utilities report both by-product groups every year. Chloramine systems form different by-products than free-chlorine systems, which is one reason large utilities switched.

What it does
A second regulated by-product group, HAA5.
Where to look
Regulated at 60 µg/L. Levels depend on source water and treatment.

EPA drinking water regulations

Hardness minerals

Hard water changes how cleansers rinse. A 2018 study found more surfactant left on skin after washing in hard water, with more water loss and irritation, especially in people with a filaggrin gene mutation. Second Shower does not soften water.

What it does
Dissolved minerals from the ground the water passed through.
Where to look
Varies by region. Your utility reports it in grains per gallon or mg/L.

Danby et al., 2018

Sediment

This is what the sediment sleeve catches, and what you see through the window. The micron PP sediment filter is certified to NSF/ANSI 42 standards.

What it does
Particles picked up in mains and building pipes.
Where to look
Older buildings, and after work on the mains.

How the filter works

Two layers. Different jobs.

Vitamin C reacts with chlorine and chloramine. The micron PP sleeve catches sediment. A clear window lets you see the filter as you use it.
Independent laboratory testFree chlorine removal
99.9%

99.9%+ free chlorine removal in independent testing at shower temperature. Chloramine performance has a separate peak window: up to 60 days for Head, 30 for Hand. NSF/ANSI 42 certification applies to the micron PP sediment filter, not the complete showerhead.

Curious about the test results?

The test matters as much as the number.

A filtration claim deserves a closer look. Start with our independent laboratory result, then explore how it was measured and what it means.

Other filtered showerheads
Filtration method Vitamin C neutralizes chlorine and chloramine. The micron PP sediment filter captures particles and is NSF/ANSI 42 certified. This certification covers the sediment component, not the complete showerhead or its chlorine-removal result. ACF means activated carbon fiber; filter blends differ by product. Vitamin C + NSF/ANSI 42* filterCertified PP sediment stage KDF, ACF or carbon
Chlorine removal Independent third-party testing measured 99.9%+ chlorine removal by Second Shower under the tested conditions. This is a laboratory result, not an NSF chlorine certification. Other filtered showerheads can also reduce chlorine; percentages depend on the product and test conditions. 99.9%+ removedIndependently lab tested Reduction varies
Chloramine removal Chloramine is a disinfectant used by some water utilities. Vitamin C neutralizes it through a chemical reaction. A chlorine-reduction claim alone does not establish chloramine performance: media, contact time and filter design matter. 99.9% removedVitamin C neutralization Not every filter targets it
Performance during use Vitamin C reacts with disinfectants as water passes through, while active media remains. Carbon can become exhausted and reactive media is consumed. Replace your filter on schedule; actual service life depends on water quality and use. This is not a measured lifespan comparison with every other brand. Doesn’t degrade during use Media can lose capacity
Hot shower performance Our Vitamin C filtration works in hot shower water. Temperature, flow and contact time all matter when comparing filters. Some KDF and carbon-based products are also designed for hot water; media type alone cannot establish a product’s removal rate. Works in hot water Depends on filter design
Independent evidence Our filtration results come from independent laboratory testing. A separate two-week clinical study of 22 women measured facial skin outcomes, including a 26.71% increase in hydration. Skin results and chlorine testing are different evidence sets; individual results vary. Testing does not mean the complete showerhead is NSF certified. Lab + clinical testing Evidence varies by brand

Easy to install

It was super easy to install, looks amazing, and performs beautifully. If you're dealing with hard water, do yourself a favor and get this immediately!

Great for Hard Water

I live in an area with very hard water, and this shower head has made the water feel much softer and more comfortable. The water pressure is also just right, not too weak or too strong, and the handheld design is very convenient. Overall, I’m very happy with this product.

Cute design with misty filtered shower head

Love the design of this filtered shower head. So cute and works well. Love all the details of the instructions bc it's a lot easier to install. (The tools inside were very helpful.) I am a huge fan of the Korean filtered showers because Koreans are obsessed with good water quality. This one also helps my family and me to have a shower with clean water. The misty spray type is preferred for us bc of my little kids. And kids love to shower with this new shower head. Might buy an extra filter and Infuser.

Love this shower head!

I've been using this shower head for a few weeks and really like it. The water feels softer, and I noticed less chlorine smell right away. My hair feels smoother, and the handheld feature is very convenient. Installation only took a few minutes.

So far, great!

Love, love this shower. I already smell the difference. The town water sometimes had a chemical smell, my hair falling out. Did a ton of research, this seemed the safest. Only thing is if yr shower is not huge then it hits the back wall pretty high. I bought a shower wand holder suction cup and now its at the correct height.

I’m in love!!!!

I love this new shower head!! With that being said, I have hard water and a whole house filter and a water softener. And still any shower head that I purchase ends up full of gunk and looking horrible after a year or so. I’m hoping to extend the life with this new product. I love the smooth face and read the instructions telling me when it gets gooky soak in some white vinegar. Smart, I will be doing that. I’m also pretty short so I don’t get the ‘smell’ effect BUT I do get the best feeling on my skin. I get itchy with hard water and I used this as a hand held spray and it felt so soft and smooth. Love this and I’m looking to buy the individual one without the removable head as well.

Strong water pressure

I honestly didn’t expect to notice much, but my skin feels less tight and dry after showering now. The pressure is still strong, and it was easy to install.

Great shower and customer service

Customer service is so good, that I decided to come leave a review. I love the shower head look, feel, and flow. Id prefer a tad more water pressure, but when I remove the flow regulator, my water pressure is attacking me, so I've settled with leaving the flow regulator in. It's actually nice. They give you 2 to choose from. The essential oil things they let you sample are also really nice, and the shower feels really good. Changing filters is easy and I love it. I live in LA and I know for a fact the pipes in my area are not good. This gives me some peace of mind. The warranty is also really good and customer service is very accessible and friendly and will help you with whatever's needed. Very grateful.

Gentle and obvious difference in water quality

Swapping to this filtered shower head made my daily routine feel like a mini upgrade. The water pressure is strong but still gentle, and my skin and hair feel softer after each shower. It’s such an easy change that actually makes a difference day to day.

This filter was white a month ago! Game changer if you live in a hard water area!!!

I was really struggling with skin and hair issues. This thing has helped my skin in ways I could t have imagined! I moved to an area with hard water, I didn’t even know how much hard water could really mess up your skin and hair. I spent a year trying all these different dermatologists and being prescribed different creams to fix the issue, nothing was working and my skin was getting increasingly more bumpy and hard, as if there was a film on my skin. I started using this filter and it changed everything, my skin is clearer, it feels softer and it is reducing the level of irritation on my face and my scalp. My hair used to be really soft and over the past five years of hard water my hair had started to fall out. Since using this I am starting to notice less hair fall, and my hair looks more full and shiny. A lady at the grocery store asked me what I put in my hair to make it look so nice, and I told her I just use this second shower thing! It really made my day after almost two years of hair fall issues. I just replaced the filter and it was so dirty! Shower spray is just as strong as my old non filter one, I haven’t had it leak at all, it is easy to replace the filter and to install. I was very worried that the water pressure would change, but it hasn’t at all, if anything it feels nicer to take showers now than it did before! Highly recommend this thing!!!

Very effective if you have hard water!

I've been looking at these for a bit, glad I finally made the purchase. Love the water stream. My curly hair is looking the best it has in a very long time. Frizz was reduced tremendously!! No other changes were made, other than the shower head! Can't wait to see how my skin improves after using for a while. Exceeded expectations!! Highly recommend!

Easy to Install and very functional shower head

This handheld filtered shower head has been so amazing. I have very hard water. I've only used it for a week but I can already tell my skin feels less dry and the water pressure feels great too. This does an amazing job filtering out the minerals. No more water spots and my hair and skin are much happier! I like its ease of setup, sturdiness without the handle wiggling all around. I look forward to seeing how everything feels in a few months.

High quality and looks beautiful in my bathroom

I was looking for a filtered shower head that actually looks good, and this hits the mark. The packaging was super sleek (would make a great gift, tbh). The build quality feels premium, not like those cheap plastic ones you usually find. The filtration is solid, and I’ve noticed way less buildup on my shower tiles too. Definitely feels like a spa day every time I hop in. Love it!

Worth investing in for myself

I absolutely love the design, color and packages. It makes rinsing shampoo feel nice, leaving a fresh scent. I feel so much better after showering since I changed to this shower head. I used to have a cheap shower head and didn’t think there would be much difference between products, but I am satisfied with this one. It makes showers feel like a luxurious spa experience. It’s a bit expensive, but definitely worth investing in for myself.

Easy to assemble

I’m such a fan of how quick it was to assemble the shower head by inserting the filter into it. It’s a light, plastic material, so won’t rust, and it’s adjustable with spray options and zero leakage. It’s high quality and I like my softer hair!

Recommend!!

I recently replaced my old fixed shower head, which had been in use for more than ten years and had accumulated quite a bit of buildup over the years. The installation was much easier than I expected. The Teflon tape that came with the item was really helpful in making a tight seal and preventing any leaks. Once everything was set up, I turned on the water and was impressed by how soft yet plentiful the water flow felt.

You have questions. We like that.

Will it fit my shower?

The Showerhand is a handheld wand with a tool-free install. Check your shower arm and the model-specific installation guide before ordering.

Check the installation guide
How often do I replace the filter?

Replace your Showerhand filter every 30 days. Water conditions and use can mean replacing sooner. The window shows visible sediment; its colour does not measure chlorine or chloramine levels.

What happens after my first subscription order?

Your selected plan shows the first refill date, the pack size, recurring price and delivery interval. Review these details before adding to cart. You can manage future deliveries through your subscription account.

Manage subscriptions
Will it affect water pressure?

The Showerhand has 128 micro-jets. Testing at 40–80 PSI found no measurable pressure loss. Your experience also depends on incoming pressure and plumbing.

Will it soften hard water?

No. Vitamin C treats chlorine and chloramine, and the sediment sleeve collects particles. It does not remove dissolved hard-water minerals such as calcium and magnesium.
