I’d already tried so many products.
Cleansers, serums, and moisturizers weren't making much difference, so I didn't expect much from a shower filter. My skin feels more comfortable, and I'm glad I tried something new.
FILTRATION YOU CAN FEEL
Why Your Shower Water Is Costing Your Skin and Hair
Chlorine Exposure
Chlorine strips the oils your skin and hair depend on, leaving your skin dry and your hair frizzy. We catch it at the showerhead, so your routine can finally do its job.
Heavy Metals
Lead, copper and other metals bleed in from aging pipes and make your hair feel dull and coated no matter how much you wash it. Our multi-stage filtration stops them at the source.
Same routine. Same products. Different water.
See what filtered water alone can do for skin and hair.
I blamed my skincare routine for everything.
My cheeks would look red and irritated after showers, so I was skeptical that a filter could help. My skin feels more comfortable now, and I don't feel like I need to pile on as much moisturizer.
I thought I just had sensitive skin…
My face always felt tight and itchy after showering, even when I used moisturizer. Since trying the Arvo filter, my skin feels less dry afterward.
My hair literally felt like straw.
I tried deep conditioners and leave-ins, but it was still rough, dry, and tangled. Since using the Arvo filtered showerhead, my hair feels softer and is easier to manage.
I was spending so much money trying to fix my hair.
Salon products and hair masks weren't helping much, and my hair still felt coarse and lifeless. Now it feels smoother to the touch and is easier to brush.
I thought my curls were just ruined.
My hair was always poofy, dry, and brittle, no matter which shampoo I tried. I never considered the water might be part of the problem, but my hair feels less rough now.
My scalp was itchy again right after washing.
I kept switching shampoos, hoping something would help, but the discomfort kept coming back. Since trying the filter, my scalp feels more comfortable after showering.
I kept thinking I just needed a better shampoo.
My scalp felt dry and irritated after showers, so I was skeptical that a filter could help. It feels less dry now, and I'm glad I gave it a try.
I never thought about the water itself.
I tried so many scalp products, but the itching and flakes kept coming back. Since making the switch, my scalp feels less irritated.

INSIDE THE CARTRIDGE
A Closer Look Inside the Filter
Select a material to read more.
KDF-55
A copper-zinc alloy that converts free chlorine into chloride, the harmless form that doesn’t strip the oils out of your skin and hair. The same reaction pulls dissolved lead, copper and mercury out of the water and binds them to the media, where they stay. It also keeps bacteria and algae from settling inside the cartridge, so everything behind it stays clean between changes.
Coconut Activated Carbon
Carbon is riddled with microscopic pores that hold onto dissolved chemicals by adsorption — trihalomethanes, VOCs, pesticide residue, hydrogen sulfide. Those are the compounds that evaporate out of hot water and end up in the air you’re breathing for ten minutes with the door shut. Taking them out is why the bathroom stops smelling like a pool.
Calcium Sulfite
Its reaction with chlorine finishes in under a second, which is the speed you need when water is moving through a showerhead rather than sitting in a pitcher. It’s also the one material here that gets more effective as the water heats up, so the hotter your shower runs, the harder it works.
PP Cotton
A dense fibre bed sits at each end of the cartridge and catches the rust, scale and sediment that break loose from aging pipes. That keeps grit off your skin, and it keeps sediment from packing into the media behind it.
KDF-55Converts chlorine into harmless chloride on contact. Pulls lead and copper out with it.
Coconut Activated CarbonHolds dissolved chemicals in its pores by adsorption. Stops them evaporating into the steam.
Calcium SulfiteNeutralises chlorine in under a second. Gets more effective the hotter your shower runs.
PP CottonCatches rust and sediment from aging pipes. Sits at both ends of the cartridge.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose Arvo over a cheaper one on Amazon?
1. Real filtration
Most budget heads use a mesh screen that catches grit and nothing else. Ours removes chlorine, lead, copper and sediment.
2. Full pressure
Cheap filters trade pressure for filtration. Ours doesn’t — the spray feels like the shower you already have.
3. Solid chrome, not plated plastic
Not the low-grade plastic that cracks at the threads. Ours is a heavier chrome-plated housing that holds its finish and its shape.
How long does a cartridge last?
Three months. One is already fitted when it arrives, so your first replacement is three months after you install it. Replacement cartridges are always stocked on our website, available for purchase.
Is it easy to install?
Yes — two minutes, by hand, and the only thing you need is already in the box.
How do I install it?
Two minutes, by hand. Everything you need is in the box.
Start by unscrewing your old showerhead counter-clockwise. Most come off by hand; if yours is stuck, wrap a cloth around it and use pliers so the chrome doesn’t scratch. Wipe the threads on the shower arm and peel off any old tape.
1. Wrap the threads with tape. Three or four turns of the included tape, pulled snug so it sits flat in the grooves. Wrap clockwise as you look at the open end of the arm — the same direction the head screws on — so it tightens rather than unravels.
2. Insert the rubber O-ring. It drops into the inlet at the base of the showerhead and should sit flat all the way round. This is what makes the seal; the tape backs it up.
3. Screw the head on clockwise. Hand-tight is tight enough. A wrench is how threads get damaged and it doesn’t improve the seal.
The filter cartridge is already inside when it arrives, so you’re filtering from the first shower.
Will it fit my shower?
Yes. Our showerhead fits on the standard half-inch thread used in every North American home. Arvo replaces your existing showerhead.
How soon will I notice a difference?
The chlorine smell is gone on the first shower — that’s the one everyone notices immediately. Skin tends to feel less tight within a few days. Hair takes longer, usually two to four weeks.
Will it weaken my water pressure?
No. The filtering happens inside the head, and the spray face pushes the water back out at the pressure you already have.
What if it leaks or stops working?
Email support@arvogoods.com. Within 30 days we’ll replace it or refund you.
What does it filter out?
Chlorine, heavy metals like lead and copper, and the rust and sediment that break loose from aging pipes.
How do I change the cartridge?
Twist the collar, lift the old cartridge out, drop the new one in, twist it back. No tools, and the head never comes off the wall.
