Key takeaways:
- Shower water contains surprising amounts of harmful contaminants, including chlorine, heavy metals, bacteria, and sediment that can damage skin, hair, and respiratory health when absorbed through skin or inhaled as steam.
- Multi-stage filtration systems like Tyent’s dual-filter technology remove up to 99% of chlorine and other impurities, while single-stage filters typically offer less comprehensive protection.
- Different filtration media target specific contaminants—KDF works best for chlorine and heavy metals, activated carbon excels at removing odors and organic compounds, and vitamin C is one of a few options effective against chloramines.
- The best filtered shower heads balance effective filtration with proper water pressure (1.8-2.5 GPM), include replacement indicators, and feature universal compatibility.
