The Science Behind Showaa
Our advanced filtration technology is backed by scientific research and independently tested to deliver real, measurable results for your skin and hair health.
The Hidden Problem In Your Water
UK tap water contains contaminants that damage your skin and hair daily. Here's what you're exposed to every time you shower.
Chlorine
Average UK tap water: 0.5 mg/L. Chlorine strips natural oils from skin and hair, causing dryness, irritation, and brittleness. Studies show it can worsen conditions like eczema and acne.
Heavy Metals
Lead, mercury, cadmium. These metals accumulate from old pipes and can be absorbed through skin. Research links heavy metal exposure to scalp irritation and hair thinning.
Hard Water Minerals
Calcium & magnesium buildup. Creates residue on skin and hair, preventing moisture absorption. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology found it exacerbates atopic dermatitis.
How Showaa Works
Our multi-stage filtration system uses proven technologies to remove contaminants while preserving water pressure and adding therapeutic benefits.
Stage 1: KDF-55 Media
KDF-55 is a copper-zinc alloy that works through a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction. This process converts free chlorine and dissolved heavy metals like lead and mercury into harmless, water-soluble substances.
The KDF media also inhibits bacterial and algae growth, creating a cleaner shower environment.
Stage 2: Calcium Sulfite
Calcium sulfite is highly effective at neutralizing chlorine and chloramine, even in hot water. Unlike carbon filters that lose effectiveness at high temperatures, calcium sulfite maintains performance in your shower's warm environment.
By minimizing chlorine's adverse effects, it helps preserve your skin's natural moisture barrier and hair's protective oils.
Stage 3: Activated Carbon
Our coconut shell activated carbon has an incredibly porous structure, providing maximum surface area to trap organic compounds, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and odors.
This natural filtration media ensures water remains soft and pure, helping retain moisture in skin and shine in hair.
Stage 4: Vitamin C
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes chlorine on contact. It breaks down chlorine molecules into less harmful substances, providing an additional layer of protection.
As a bonus, Vitamin C promotes collagen production and supports skin health, helping maintain firm, youthful skin.
What's Inside Every Filter
Every Showaa filter contains pharmaceutical-grade filtration media tested to NSF/ANSI Standard 177 for shower filtration performance.
