How it works

One twist between you and the chlorine

Inside the filter

Two layers of filtration

Coconut-husk carbon grabs the chlorine. Ceramic media catches rust, sand and sediment. All of it stays in the cartridge instead of on your skin and hair.

Fit

Works with the shower you already have

Watch the whole install, start to finish. It screws on between your shower arm and shower head. Standard 1/2" threads fit almost every US shower, fixed or handheld. No plumber, no tools.

Proof

Don't take our word for it

The first thing most people notice is the smell. To see the numbers yourself, test your water before and after the filter with DPD chlorine tablets.

Great for sensitive skin
This is my 3rd time purchasing this water filter. It works great! I've posted a picture of the new filter vs the used one. You can see all of the dirt and grime that flows through and is caught over the course of a couple months!

How to check any shower filter

"Exceeds NSF 177" is not a certification

Lots of shower filters online say they meet, exceed or are "tested to" NSF standards. Anyone can write that. A real certification has a listing on NSF's own website that you can check in a minute. Here's what to look for, on any brand, including ours.

What to check Red flag AquaYouth 2.0 Carbon
"Certified," not "exceeds"Only NSF can certify a product to its standards. "Exceeds" or "tested to" means the seller ran their own test.

Questions

Will it lower my water pressure?

Most customers notice no change. If your pressure is already very low you may feel a small difference. If the flow drops over time, the cartridge is usually due for replacement.

Will it fit my shower?

Yes, if your shower arm uses the standard US 1/2" thread, which almost all do. It screws on between the arm and your existing shower head, so you keep the head you have, fixed or handheld.

How often do I replace the cartridge?

Each cartridge filters about 3,500 gallons, roughly 3 to 4 months for most households. A drop in flow or the chlorine smell coming back are signs it's time.

How do I know it's working?

Most people notice the chlorine smell is gone first. To check for yourself, test the water before and after the filter with DPD chlorine test tablets.

Is it really NSF certified?

Yes. The filter design is certified to NSF/ANSI 177 (free chlorine reduction) and NSF/ANSI 372 (lead-free materials). The listing is under our manufacturer, UBS Inc., model UMV-DS10CR, on NSF's public database.

What if it doesn't work for me?

You can return it within 30 days of delivery. If you simply change your mind, a 15% restocking fee and the return shipping cost come out of your refund. If it arrives damaged or defective, there are no fees, and the 12-month warranty covers you after that. Most leaks are fixed with plumber's tape: watch the install videos and return details.
