The AquaYouth 2.0 shower filter has been designed to produce maximum filtration without sacrificing the water pressure of the shower, but in some cases customers may notice a decrease in water pressure. If it's a significant amount, it could either be a defective filter or an installation error. Reach out to us and we will help you troubleshoot it. 

Yes, you can use your own shower head. Nearly any shower head will fit, whether it's a wall mount or a hand-held.

This shower filter tested as below and each reduction rate was tested by the Korea Environment & Water Works Institute. It is irrelevant to the range of NSF/ANSI 177 and 372 authentication.

Reduction Rates:

• Chlorine: 99%
• Iron: 100%
• Mercury: 100%
• Lead: 63%
• Copper: 33%
• Bacteria: Prevents bacterial growth

While the AquaYouth 2.0 shower filter has the ability to reduce much more than what is listed above, as a matter of company policy, we only publish reduction claims for contaminants that we've tested for using established industry standards. Testing is quite expensive, so at the moment, we've only tested the most common problematic contaminants.

In the future, we may conduct more tests if our customers have enough interest in a certain contaminant. 

Yes, this shower filter has been tested and certified by the NSF, which is the leading authority for water safety. The AquaYouth 2.0 is only 1 of 8 shower filters on the market that are certified by the NSF. This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 177 for reduction of free available chlorine and NSF/ANSI 372 for low lead content verification.

Below is a list of all contaminants that we have tested with the AquaYouth 2.0 shower filter. 

Reduction Rates:

• Chlorine: 99%
• Iron: 100%
• Mercury: 100%
• Lead: 63%
• Copper: 33%

If you have any questions or need assistance, our technical support representatives at www.aquayouth.com/support can walk you through the installation process.

TDS meters measure the conductivity of the water, which can help identify salts or other impurities which have positive charges. However, common disinfection by-products in water, such as chlorine, iron, chloramine etc, do not impact the conductivity of the water. So they would not be picked up by a TDS meter.

Put another way, TDS meters cannot detect toxic chemicals such as Chlorine or Chloramine, therefore they should not be relied on to measure water quality.

The best way to test the effectiveness of the shower filter would be to use a chlorine colorimeter or a cheaper option would be to order orthotolidine drops from amazon or at your local pool supply store.

Our products target harmful chemicals and byproducts in water. You can look for these as signs that the product is working:

• Reduced or eliminated chlorine smell
• Less dry itchy skin
• Stronger, more manageable hair
• Strong and healthy-looking nails
• Soap which lathers up more, to create more bubbles.

And of course, the more scientific method would be to test your water with some DPD tablets.
