AquaHomeGroup Filter Shower Head Review

🧾 Overview

The AquaHomeGroup is a filtered shower head that offers 15 stages of filtration, removing chlorine, hard water and other harmful substances. This filter features several different filtering mechanisms, including activated carbon media and calcium sulfate, and boasts one of the highest-quality showerhead filtration offerings available on the market today. Costing less than $50, the AquaHomeGroup fits any standard shower type and installs within minutes, no tools required.

💡 Features

Shower filter body

The filter body screws onto the back of the showerhead and features multiple filtration stages, removing a variety of common water contaminants. 

Showerhead

The showerhead itself is large and circular with a single rain setting, sending a powerful stream of water out of the unit. The showerhead contains vitamin C and E beads, which add a healthy amount of these vitamins into water as it passes through. 

Quick-connect fitting

There are no tools needed to install the AquaHomeGroup, thanks to its quick-connect fitting, which makes it easy to screw it in place with your hand. 

Versatile setup

With a universal connection, the AquaHomeGroup fits the majority of shower types, including handheld and wall-mounted showers. 

Replacement filter cartridges

You’ll need to purchase separate replacement filter cartridges (available on Amazon and AquaHomeGroup) approximately every 6 months.

🔧 Installation & Maintenance

Installing the AquaHomeGroup is a case of removing the filter from its box and screwing it onto your shower arm as you would with any new shower head. Being versatile enough to be used in place of all shower types, including wall-mounted, handheld and rainfall, the AquaHomeGroup is one of the most adaptable shower filters available at the moment. 

No need to hire a plumber or bring out your toolbox to install the AquaHomeGroup. Simply screw the filter onto the showerhead and twist it into place on your shower arm. It takes just minutes to set up and is ready to go instantly – just make sure you run water through the filter for up to 10 minutes prior to showering to remove any lingering activated carbon dust. 

Like all showerhead water filters, the AquaHomeGroup won’t last forever. But maintenance is as simple as unscrewing the old filter and screwing a new one in its place. Filter cartridges have a 6-month lifespan, which is pretty good for a showerhead filter, and maintenance isn’t something you’ll have to think about frequently.

📝 Filter Info

There are two parts to this 15-stage filtration filter: the contaminant removal part and the vitamin addition part. To reduce or remove contaminants, the AquaHomeGroup uses KDF 55 and activated carbon, as well as calcium sulfite and alkaline ceramic balls. These filtration processes are combined within a single filter cartridge. When water enters the shower head, it must pass through each filtration layer before it can come out of the other end. 

To make water even healthier for showering, the AquaHomeGroup also features a vitamin C and E filter, which adds a small amount of these vitamins to water before it leaves the shower head. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that promotes skin health, while vitamin C promotes collagen production, an important protein for skin and hair. 

Each filter cartridge has a 6-month lifespan, and your initial showerhead purchase comes with one filter included. The filter may last slightly longer or for slightly less time than this, depending on the quality of your water and how many people use your shower on a daily basis. When it comes to changing the filter, you don’t need to throw away the entire shower head – just the old cartridge. Replacement cartridges cost around $20, and considering this should only be a half-yearly payment, that’s a relatively affordable price.

🚦 Performance

Some showerhead water filters can affect the flow rate of water, resulting in an unsatisfying low-pressure shower experience. With the AquaHomeGroup, however, you’ll never have to make do with showering in a trickle of water, as this filter has a respectable flow rate of 2.5. The maximum flow rate of showers in the US is 2.5 GPM for safety reasons, so you can guarantee that the AquaHomeGroup won’t result in a difference in your usual water flow. 

While you may not even notice you’ve installed the AquaHomeGroup, it’s capable of doing a lot of good to your water. The filter reduces a whole host of contaminants, including chlorine, heavy metals, and sediment like dust and rust. Its vitamin E and C filters add healthy vitamins back into your water, giving your skin and hair the best treatment while you shower.
