Shower Filter Myths: What’s True and What’s Not

Quick Answer

The biggest shower filter myths: that they soften water (they do not — that is a softener's job), that more stages always means better (stage count is not a quality signal), and that they remove everything (media target specific substances). Trust validated specs and certifications, not slogans.

Problem

Shower filter marketing is full of inflated stage counts and 'removes 99%' claims that make comparison shopping impossible.
