For optimal performance and longevity of your ShowerStick, it’s important to consider using a KDF filter if your water contains chlorine, and you don’t have a whole house filtration system installed.
Benefits of Using a KDF Filter with the ShowerStick:
- Chlorine and Contaminant Removal:
- The KDF filter is designed to remove 95-99% of chlorine from your shower water. Chlorine can be harsh on your skin and hair, so removing it is beneficial for your health and comfort.
- The filter also controls the buildup of microorganisms such as bacteria, algae, fungi, and mold, which can thrive in moist environments like showers.
- Protection for the Softening Resin:
- By removing chlorine and other contaminants, the KDF filter protects the softening resin inside the ShowerStick. Chlorine can degrade the resin, reducing its effectiveness and lifespan.
- Ensuring the resin stays healthy means your ShowerStick will continue to function properly for a longer period.
- Efficiency at High Temperatures:
- Unlike carbon filters, the KDF filter works more effectively at high water temperatures, making it ideal for use in showers where hot water is commonly used.
- This efficiency ensures that even during hot showers, the filter continues to remove contaminants effectively.
Installation and Maintenance:
- In-Line Installation:
- The KDF filter should be installed in-line with the ShowerStick. This means placing it in the water line before the ShowerStick, ensuring that the water passing through the softener is already filtered.
- Can also be installed by itself (without the ShowerStick) between your wall pipe and shower head (or mount if you have a handheld shower).
By incorporating a KDF filter into your ShowerStick setup, you enhance both your shower experience and the longevity of your water softener. This proactive step ensures cleaner, healthier water for you and protects the investment you’ve made in your ShowerStick.

It’s great to know this product works better with hot water. I am thoroughly pleased that this filter can last up to a year as opposed to others where it’s 6 months or less and it’s about the same price as this one. I also have my water stick and I never smell chlorine. My hair has been doing better and my skin feels wonderful.
