Description

The ShowerStick is an innovative solution for tackling hard water in your shower, offering significant benefits over traditional shower water filters. It effectively removes hard water minerals like calcium and magnesium, which are known to cause dry skin, hair, and scalp issues. This softening process ensures that the water tests as soft, even when using a standard hard water test kit or strips. This is a key distinction, as traditional shower water filters, despite removing chlorine, do not have the capability to soften water and eliminate these problematic minerals.

One of the major drawbacks of using only a shower water filter is that it may not address the underlying cause of dry skin or hair—hard water. While filters can remove chlorine, which might improve some aspects of water quality, they fail to soften water, which is necessary for true skin and hair benefits.

Additionally, if you’ve ever struggled with stubborn white chalky buildup on your glass shower door, you’re likely dealing with hard water. This buildup can also affect your skin, scalp, and hair, leaving you feeling less than refreshed after each shower. The ShowerStick helps by eliminating these minerals, which not only results in healthier skin and hair but also keeps your shower cleaner for longer.

Though the initial investment in a ShowerStick is higher than a traditional filter, it proves more economical in the long run. When you factor in the recurring cost of replacing shower filters, which can add up over time, the ShowerStick’s ten-year lifespan makes it a much more cost-effective choice.

Before you order, please consider these 2 critical Q&As:

  1. Do you have hard water? To find out if you have hard water, search online for your city's water quality report (e.g., "Austin Texas Water Quality Report"). If the report lists "hardness," you'll know if you have hard water and its level. If not listed, your water likely isn't hard. You can also purchase water hardness test strips for a quick check or use a hardness test kit from Hach for precise results.
  2. Are you aware of how often regeneration will be needed? The frequency of regeneration depends on your water's hardness. For example, if your water hardness is 10 grains per gallon (the U.S. average), you'd get about 58 minutes of soft water before regeneration is needed. This varies based on your water's actual hardness, and your water pressure. Please refer to the chart shown below.
