Hard water affects over 85% of homes, leaving behind chlorine, heavy metals, and mineral deposits that damage hair and irritate skin. Our filtered shower heads are designed specifically to tackle hard water problems at the source, with advanced multi-stage filtration that removes these contaminants before the water reaches you.

Every StoneStream shower head features built-in filtration media including mineral stones, activated carbon, and ceramic balls that work together to reduce chlorine, rust, sediment, and limescale. The result is noticeably softer water that leaves hair smoother, skin less dry, and reduces soap scum buildup in your bathroom.

Hard Water Shower Head FAQs

Q: How do I know if I have hard water?
A: Signs of hard water include white chalky residue on taps and shower screens, dry or itchy skin after showering, hair that feels rough or straw-like, and reduced lathering from soap and shampoo. You can also check your local water authority's report or use a home test kit.

Q: Can a filtered shower head actually soften hard water?
A: Our shower heads use mineral stones and filtration media that reduce dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium. While they work differently from a whole-house water softener, the multi-stage filtration measurably reduces limescale and makes water feel noticeably softer on hair and skin.

Q: How often should I replace the filter in a hard water area?
A: In hard water areas, we recommend replacing your filter cartridge every 2-3 months rather than the standard 3-4 months. Heavy mineral content can clog filtration media faster. Replacement cartridges are affordable and take under a minute to swap.
