Tap water first passes a sediment stage that catches particulates, then KDF-55 redox media for metals and free chlorine, activated carbon for odour and VOC, and finally vitamin C for chloramine — so the water reaching your shower is filtered, not softened.
We explain each stage in plain language across the Learn library — no marketing shortcuts.
Understand NSF/ANSI 177 material safety standards for shower water filters — what it tests, how to verify certifications, and key limits for lead, BPA, and PBA. Check specifications and compare standards.
