Shower Filters - Everything You Need to Know
Can a shower filter really support your health and home?
Every day, we breathe in and absorb more through our skin than we realize – especially when we shower. Warm water opens our pores and fills the bathroom with steam, and with it, invisible chemicals can enter the air we breathe and our skin.
A whole home filtration system is the most complete way to protect against these contaminants, but for many households, that’s not always an immediate option. That’s where a Spring Fresh Shower Filter can make a meaningful difference.
These filters are designed to reduce chlorine, one of the most common irritants found in tap water. Chlorine can dry out your skin, dull your hair, and even cause itchiness or irritation. By reducing it, your shower feels gentler, fresher, and healthier – leaving you and your family feeling truly clean, from the inside out.
Why Does it Matter?
When hot water flows through your showerhead, chemicals such as chlorine and chloroform can turn into vapors and become part of the air you breathe. In fact, research shows that exposure to certain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like chloroform is SIX TIMES higher through inhalation and skin absorption than from drinking unfiltered water alone.
That means every steamy shower is also an opportunity to breathe cleaner, healthier air. For example, at normal shower temperatures, up to 50% of chloroform in water can evaporate before it even hits the shower floor. A simple shower filter can help reduce that risk and protect your family’s well-being.
How Our Spring Fresh Shower Filters Work
Our filters combine two advanced technologies to provide cleaner, safer water for your daily routine:
- Aquaspace® Compound removes chlorine, chloroform, pesticides, herbicides, and other organic and inorganic pollutants – while keeping the beneficial minerals your body needs. It also helps improve water’s taste and smell, giving you a fresher, more natural shower experience.
- KDF Bacteriostatic Media is made from a blend of copper and zinc, KDF helps neutralize heavy metals like lead, mercury, and iron. It also prevents mold, mildew, and lime buildup in your shower – keeping both your water and your bathroom cleaner.
Together, these technologies soften your water, protect your skin and hair, and support a healthier environment in your home.
Performance You Can Feel – Not Notice
Worried about water pressure or temperature? No need. Both our shower filters are designed to maintain your normal shower experience:
- Pressure: Rated at 70 PSI (most homes run at 60 PSI)
- Temperature: Works perfectly up to 115°F, hotter than most hot tubs
You’ll enjoy the same powerful, comfortable showers – just cleaner and safer.
Choosing the Right Filter: SF-100 vs. SF-375W
Both models offer the same filtration quality. The difference comes down to capacity and size:
- SF-100: Larger capacity (up to 12,000 gallons) and slightly more effective due to longer contact time. Ideal for families or frequent shower users.
- SF-375W or SF-375C: Smaller and more compact (6,000 gallon capacity), perfect for those who want a sleeker look or have limited space.
Both filters should be replaced at least once a year, or sooner if you use your shower heavily.
How Much Water Do You Use in a Year?
The average American showers for about 8 minutes a day, using roughly 6,000 gallons of water per year.
- If you shower longer or have multiple users, the SF-100 may be the better choice for lasting performance.
- For single users or lighter shower schedules, the SF-350 provides the same great protection in a smaller size.
A Small Step Toward a Healthier Home
A shower filter may seem like a small change – but it’s one that can make a big difference for your health, comfort, and confidence. By reducing chemicals and protecting your skin, hair, and lungs, you’re creating a cleaner, safer space for yourself and the people you love.
Every shower should leave you feeling refreshed – not just on the outside, but in the air you breathe and the home you live in.
