5 Benefits of a Filtered Shower Head (and Why Sima's Is an Easy Upgrade)

You choose your body wash, your lotion, and your towel with care. But the water in your shower is whatever comes out of the pipe. Unfiltered water means unfinished care: you protect what goes into your body, so why not what goes onto it?

Here are 5 benefits of switching to a filtered shower head, and how the Sima Shower Filter Head is built for each one.

🚿 Filtered Water

1. You rinse off with filtered water, not straight tap water

US water utilities commonly add chlorine or chloramine to tap water to keep it safe to drink. That's a good thing, but the same treated water also runs over your skin and hair every day, and many people notice the chlorine smell most in a hot shower. The Sima Shower Filter Head is designed to help reduce chlorine, rust and sediment in your shower water, so the water passes through a filter before it reaches you.

Curious what's in your own water? Our guide Is a Filtered Shower Head Worth It? shows you how to look up your local water report.

2. Your skin and hair may feel softer after you rinse

If your skin feels tight after a shower or your hair feels dull and rough, your water may be part of the story. A filtered shower head is one of the easiest ways to change it, with no new products and no extra steps. The Sima Shower Filter Head is made to give you water that's gentler on skin and hair, so your skin may feel softer and your hair smoother. How much you notice depends on the water in your area.

3. A filter that's easy to keep fresh

A filter only helps while it's working. The Sima Shower Filter Head comes with a pre-installed filter cartridge, listed as a "Premium KDF-55 & Activated Carbon Filter." Each filter lasts around 3 months, depending on water quality and usage, and the cartridge is easy to replace. Here's an easy way to remember: change your filter when you change your Sima towel, about every 90 days.

4. You keep the pressure and get 7 spray modes

A filter shouldn't turn your shower into a trickle. The Sima Shower Filter Head is engineered to maintain steady water pressure while it filters. It also has 7 spray modes, from rainfall to massage, so you can customize your shower ritual. It comes in black or silver to match your bathroom.

5. It installs in minutes, no plumber required

The Sima Shower Filter Head replaces your current shower head in three steps:

  1. Detach: Unscrew your old shower head by hand, or use the included wrench for extra grip.
  2. Fit: Wrap the included plumber tape around the shower pipe.
  3. Secure: Twist the Sima Shower Filter onto the pipe and tighten it with the wrench.

It's designed to fit most standard fixed, screw-on shower heads. It isn't compatible with handheld shower heads on a hose or with built-in or custom shower systems.
