They are people who have noticed that their hair feels straw-like and their skin feels tight the minute they step out of the shower. The common thread is chlorine — it is a disinfectant, and disinfectants strip oils. A shower head water filter reduces the chlorine and the fine sediment in the water leaving the head, so less of it lands on you. That is the entire mechanism, and it is the only claim we make. It is not a treatment for any skin or scalp condition, and we do not say it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt takes the standard \u003cstrong\u003e½ inch (G½)\u003c\/strong\u003e shower arm thread — the universal size the head already on your wall uses, in the UK and the US alike.

It needs a rigid arm coming out of the wall or ceiling. If your shower is a handset on a hose — a bar mixer or a riser rail — this is the wrong shape, and you want \u003ca href=\"\/products\/filtered-shower-head-with-handheld\"\u003ethe handheld filtered shower head\u003c\/a\u003e instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChanging the filter cartridge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck opens by hand.
