In-Line Shower Filter InstallationUpdated a month ago

The shower filter is our easiest product to install. All you do is unscrew your existing showerhead, screw on the shower filter, then screw it back onto the pipe. 

Our shower filter uses a 1/2Inch screw-on connection.

Step by Step Guide:

  • Firmly grasp the top and bottom of your new Shower Water Filter Housing and hand tighten clockwise until snug

  • Unscrew your shower head from the neck with an adjustable wrench

  • Wrap the threads on the shower neck with 2-3 layers of the supplied plumber's tape 

    • Tip: Wrap the tape firmly clockwise around the fitting, pulling the tape firmly to tear it instead of cutting

  • Hand screw your Show Water Filter Housing onto the shower neck

    • Tip: The housing attaches counter-clockwise

  • Snug the water filter housing firmly with an adjustable wrench

    • Tip: Do not overtighten to avoid damage

  • Hand snug your shower filter head to the Shower Water Filter Housing

    • Tip: The housing attaches counter-clockwise

  • Snug the shower head firmly with an adjustable wrench

    • Tip: Do not overtighten to avoid damage

Before first use:

  • Run your shower water for 3 minutes to ensure your filter is fully charged with water and the line and any media loosened during transit has flushed from the system

    • Water may be slightly cloudy during initial use from air trapped in the filtration core. This will flush during initial usage
