Tired of Dry Skin and Dull Hair? Your Shower Water Could Be the Problem.
We all love a long, hot shower, especially right now during New Zealand's cooler months. It's our time to relax, recharge, and 'reset' by washing the day away. But what if the very water you're using to clean your body and soul is really working against your skin and hair health?
Across New Zealand, our tap water is treated to make it safe to drink. This process often involves chlorine and can contain heavy metals, such as other impurities picked up on the journey down the old pipes and into your home. You may not know this about me, but I was a firefighter for 18 years. I can tell you that testing the fire hydrants (those yellow 'FH' lids all over the place) was always an eye-opener. In fact, when the crew flowed a hydrant, if the water coming out wasn't brown and swamp water looking, that was always noteworthy. Often, the sediment that flowed out caused the water to be dark brown for up to 30 seconds of high flow. These are the very same pipes where our drinking water flows!
While it's fine for drinking as you're not flowing the same quantity as we were, showering in this same water day after day can lead to dry, irritated skin, brittle hair, and a faded hair colour. Plus, we have to mention that your skin is actually your largest organ in the human body! And we should try to take the best care, as it literally shields our health!
We have an easy solution for you, which is one of our most popular water filtering products on Grounded Kiwi: a high-quality shower water filter.
What is a Filtration Shower Head?
Think of it as a water filter for your body. A filtration shower head is a specialised filter system that attaches directly to your shower hose or mixer. Its job is to intercept and neutralise impurities like chlorine, heavy metals, sediment, and odours before they reach you. It's not just a shower head; it's an essential part of any modern health and beauty routine.
The Top 3 Benefits of Using a Shower Head Filter
1. Transform Your Skin and Hair
This is the number one reason and the most reported benefit that people notice after they switch to using a Grounded Kiwi shower filter. Chlorine is a harsh chemical that strips your skin and hair of their natural oils, leading to:
- Dryness, flakiness, and irritation (especially for sensitive skin or conditions like eczema).
- Dull, frizzy, and brittle hair that's prone to breakage.
- Faster fading of expensive hair colour treatments.
By filtering out the chlorine, a shower head filter helps your skin and hair retain their natural moisture, leaving them feeling softer, smoother, and looking healthier from the very first wash. I am sure that you will notice the difference after just one week!
2. Breathe Easier with a Purer Shower Experience
When you heat chlorinated water, the chlorine vaporises into a steam that you inhale. For some, this can cause respiratory irritation and that unpleasant "swimming pool" smell in your bathroom. Often, our Kiwi homes don't have adequate ventilation, so we end up bathing in this cloud longer than we should. An effective shower water filter neutralises chlorine, creating a cleaner, fresher, and more pleasant breathing environment during your shower.
3. Protect Your Family's Wellbeing
Your skin is your largest organ, and it can absorb impurities from your shower water. A high-quality water filtering shower head provides an extra layer of protection for your whole family, reducing daily exposure to a range of potential contaminants. It's a simple change that contributes to a healthier home environment and supports overall wellbeing, all completely natural.
Choosing the Right Shower Filter for Your NZ Home
Not all shower filters are created equal. When looking for the best option, you need a multi-stage filtration system that can tackle a wide range of impurities. The Grounded Kiwi Shower Filter uses a proven blend of materials designed specifically for New Zealand water conditions, ensuring you get a purer shower every time. Our shower filters have an easy-to-replace filter cartridge with 15 stages. layers of filtering are happening. When you need to replace the cartridge (we recommend every 6 months, depending on usage), we have the shower filter replacement cartridges available all the time for quite a low price. Well worth the benefits.
Installation is incredibly simple—no plumber needed! It easily screws onto your existing shower setup, so you can enjoy the benefits in just a few minutes.
