Understanding the Difference: Softening vs. Filtering

There isn’t one! Only a “softener” can soften water. A “filter” primarily removes chlorine but does absolutely nothing to soften water. It’s easy to prove this with hardness test strips: HARD WATER TEST STRIPS.

Why You Need Soft Water for Healthier Skin and Hair

To get the most relief from dry skin and hair issues, you need to soften the water. Softening water requires the removal of hard water minerals like calcium and magnesium. The only way to achieve this in a shower is through a salt-based ion exchange process, used in both whole house softeners and the ShowerStick.

Introducing the ShowerStick

The ShowerStick is a portable shower water softener designed for people who struggle with dry, brittle, straw-like hair and dry skin, psoriasis, or eczema (dermatitis). It’s an excellent alternative for those who can’t or don’t want to install an expensive whole house softener. Plus, it’s portable, so you can take it with you if you move. An added bonus: you won’t have to deal with hard water buildup (limescale) inside your shower and on your glass shower doors anymore.

Key Benefits of the ShowerStick:

  • Effective Softening: Uses a salt-based ion exchange process to remove hard water minerals.
  • Portable: Easy to take with you when you move.
  • Healthier Skin and Hair: Reduces dryness and conditions like psoriasis and eczema.
  • Cleaner Showers: Prevents hard water buildup, making cleaning easier.
