Filtered showerheads are a solution. They have built-in filtration systems that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/best-water-filter-pitchers-rcna176101\" target=\"_blank\">purify water<\/a> before it hits your body, so you&#8217;re rinsing off with the cleanest H20 possible.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-6d2536\" class=\"body-graf\">The NBC Selected team has been testing filtered showerheads for almost three years, and we&#8217;re constantly trying new models.

Over the past two years, I\u2019ve noticed that my skin is less dry and my hair is softer. In fact, my hairdresser says my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/curl-hair-type-explained-rcna129053\" target=\"_blank\">curls<\/a> have never looked or felt healthier, which she credits to my filtered showerhead. I also appreciate how easy Jolie makes managing my filter subscription online, and that it lets me skip or delay a filter delivery if I want to. For example, if I\u2019m away for a while and don\u2019t use my showerhead, I might want to push back the next time I swap it out.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-ac5812\" class=\"body-graf\">Although the spray only has one setting, the stream of the showerhead is still wide enough to cover my whole body while standing underneath it. The first time I replaced the filter, I found twisting the fixture\u2019s head off its base challenging, but it got much easier with practice.<\/p>\n<section id=\"anchor-0f0806\" class=\"embed-widget

And out of all the models we tested, Sproos\u2019 comes in the most finish options \u2014 there\u2019s eight to choose from, including neutral options like silver, gold and black, and bright colors like yellow, blue and red.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"styles_inlineImage__FvnTh styles_small__gIJ9M\" id=\"anchor-223d67\"><picture class=\"styles_image__i32F7\" data-testid=\"picture\" data-flavor=\"fit\" data-original-height=\"1200\" data-original-width=\"1200\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1240px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-360w,f_avif,q_auto:eco,dpr_2\/rockcms\/2026-02\/Sproos-shower-head-jem-0a32f7.jpg 2x, https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-360w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2026-02\/Sproos-shower-head-jem-0a32f7.jpg 1x\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 1000px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-320w,f_avif,q_auto:eco,dpr_2\/rockcms\/2026-02\/Sproos-shower-head-jem-0a32f7.jpg 2x, https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-320w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2026-02\/Sproos-shower-head-jem-0a32f7.jpg 1x\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 758px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-560w,f_avif,q_auto:eco,dpr_2\/rockcms\/2026-02\/Sproos-shower-head-jem-0a32f7.jpg 2x, https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-560w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2026-02\/Sproos-shower-head-jem-0a32f7.jpg 1x\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 320px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-760w,f_avif,q_auto:eco,dpr_2\/rockcms\/2026-02\/Sproos-shower-head-jem-0a32f7.jpg 2x, https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-760w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2026-02\/Sproos-shower-head-jem-0a32f7.jpg 1x\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-760w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2026-02\/Sproos-shower-head-jem-0a32f7.jpg\" alt=\"Since using Sproos\u2019 filtered showerhead, Alabi has noticed improvements in her hair and skin health, especially as someone with keratosis pilaris.\" height=\"1200\" width=\"1200\"\/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"caption styles_caption__TCewG\" data-testid=\"caption\"><span class=\"caption__container\" data-testid=\"caption__container\">Since using Sproos\u2019 filtered showerhead, Alabi has noticed improvements in her hair and skin health, especially as someone with keratosis pilaris.<\/span><span class=\"caption__source\" data-testid=\"caption__source\">Courtesy of Jem Alabi<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"anchor-31d64f\" class=\"body-graf\">NBC Selected editorial operations associate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/author\/jem-alabi-ncpn1312495\" target=\"_blank\">Jem Alabi<\/a> says installation took her less than 10 minutes, and she never felt confused throughout the process due to clear directions the brand provides, both via a video presentation online and written instructions.

The fixture has a spot for its replaceable 10-stage water filter, which the brand says gets rid of chlorine, microplastics, heavy metals and other contaminants, and a rechargeable, dual-wavelength red light ring that supports circulation and has mood boosting benefits, according to HigherDose. You can detach the red light ring from the fixture to charge it \u2014 HigherDose says its battery lasts for about seven hours. The included charging dock doubles as a stand, letting you use the light by itself, too.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"styles_inlineImage__FvnTh styles_small__gIJ9M\" id=\"anchor-bc7623\"><picture class=\"styles_image__i32F7\" data-testid=\"picture\" data-flavor=\"fit\" data-original-height=\"1200\" data-original-width=\"1200\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1240px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-360w,f_avif,q_auto:eco,dpr_2\/rockcms\/2026-03\/higherdose-red-light-showerhead-filter-c44fb9.jpg 2x, https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-360w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2026-03\/higherdose-red-light-showerhead-filter-c44fb9.jpg 1x\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 1000px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-320w,f_avif,q_auto:eco,dpr_2\/rockcms\/2026-03\/higherdose-red-light-showerhead-filter-c44fb9.jpg 2x, https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-320w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2026-03\/higherdose-red-light-showerhead-filter-c44fb9.jpg 1x\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 758px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-560w,f_avif,q_auto:eco,dpr_2\/rockcms\/2026-03\/higherdose-red-light-showerhead-filter-c44fb9.jpg 2x, https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-560w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2026-03\/higherdose-red-light-showerhead-filter-c44fb9.jpg 1x\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 320px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-760w,f_avif,q_auto:eco,dpr_2\/rockcms\/2026-03\/higherdose-red-light-showerhead-filter-c44fb9.jpg 2x, https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-760w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2026-03\/higherdose-red-light-showerhead-filter-c44fb9.jpg 1x\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-760w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2026-03\/higherdose-red-light-showerhead-filter-c44fb9.jpg\" alt=\"HigherDose\u2019s Red Light Showerhead Filter installed in a bathroom.\" height=\"1200\" width=\"1200\"\/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"caption styles_caption__TCewG\" data-testid=\"caption\"><span class=\"caption__container\" data-testid=\"caption__container\">As clean water flows out of HigherDose\u2019s filtered showerhead, the red light covers Godio\u2019s body from top to bottom, so she gets the benefits of both at once.<\/span><span class=\"caption__source\" data-testid=\"caption__source\">Courtesy Mili Godio<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"anchor-7205bc\" class=\"body-graf\">NBC Selected updates editor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/author\/mili-godio-ncpn1261464\" target=\"_blank\">Mili Godio<\/a> has used HigherDose\u2019s Red Light Showerhead Filter for two months. \u201cThis showerhead filter is a great way to get red light therapy to my hair, face and body all at once since it fully covers me,\u201d she says. \u201cI also love that it helps me habit-stack, especially since I tend to forget to do consistent red light therapy like dermatologists recommend.\u201d Godio also appreciates that she can control the red light part with a remote control timer. \u201cI easily choose how long each session is, and, depending on what I selected, the light automatically turns off after five, 10 or 15 minutes,\u201d she says.

However, the included directions didn\u2019t have specific instructions for adding a flow restrictor, and I didn\u2019t find it on the brand\u2019s website either. Because I had installed a few other models already, I knew enough about adding a flow restrictor that I eventually figured it out.

best filtered showerheads<\/h2>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-ccbf33\" class=\"body-graf\">Experts recommend considering the following factors when shopping for filtered showerheads, all of which I took into consideration while testing and curating our list of favorites.<\/p>\n<ul id=\"anchor-0e8c12\" class=\"break-above body-ul body-list-el\">\n<li><strong>Filter type<\/strong>: This dictates what impurities the showerhead removes. Activated carbon, <a href=\"https:\/\/kdf.kymerainternational.com\/products\" target=\"_blank\">KDF-55<\/a> and calcium sulfate are some of the most common filter types in showerheads \u2014 they remove chlorine, heavy metals and other minerals from water that can impact your skin and hair. Brands often add different filters to their fixtures to offer maximum purification. (Read more about each type <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/best-filtered-showerheads-rcna153901#anchor-Whattypesoffiltersarebest\">here<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Certified claims<\/strong>: The filtered showerhead you buy should have performance claims backed by evidence, preferably via third-party testing data, says Anderson. This information may be available on brand websites, or you can reach out to the brand and ask for a copy. There are no federal regulations around residential water filters, but there are voluntary standards (set by organizations like public health nonprofits) that brands can test their products against. Anderson recommends buying from a brand that tests filtered showerheads against the National Sanitation Foundation\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsf.org\/consumer-resources\/articles\/standards-water-treatment-systems\" target=\"_blank\">NSF 177 standard<\/a>, certifying models that reduce chlorine in water. (Chlorine can cause dry skin and hair damage, according to experts.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flow rate<\/strong>: Flow rate, measured in gallons per minute (gpm), refers to the amount of water that comes out of a fixture (like a showerhead) during a specific time. In the U.S., showerheads can\u2019t exceed a flow rate of 2.5 gpm, according to federal standards created to conserve natural resources like water. To further conserve water, some states require a lower maximum flow rate, which means you may need a flow restrictor device to reduce the water stream. (Learn more about flow rate and your state\u2019s regulations <a href=\"https:\/\/nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/best-filtered-showerheads-rcna153901#anchor-Whatisflowrate\">here<\/a>.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shower compatibility<\/strong>: According to experts I talked to, most filtered showerheads are designed to work with all standard U.S. showers. Many also come with a mini wrench and plumber\u2019s tape for installation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spray settings<\/strong>: Some showerheads have different spray settings \u2014 some only offer one; common options include mist, rain or dual. Choose based on your personal preferences and\/or those of anyone you live with.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Replacement filters<\/strong>: You\u2019ll have to replace the filter every few months, depending on what the brand recommends. Consider the cost of replacements and how easy they are to buy. Some brands have subscription services that send you a new filter when it\u2019s almost time to replace yours.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Finish<\/strong>: Filtered showerheads often come in different finishes and colors, letting you pick one that matches the hardware in your bathroom.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/best-filtered-showerheads-rcna153901#anchor-c1f96f\" id=\"anchor-c1f96f\" class=\"scrollLink\"><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"body-heading\">How we tested filtered showerheads<\/h2>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-80442b\" class=\"body-graf\">We have been testing filtered showerheads since July 2023. Each of the brands on this list sent NBC Selected courtesy samples to try, which we installed ourselves in our bathrooms. In New York, showerheads legally can\u2019t exceed a 1.8 gpm flow rate, so for some of the models we tested, we had to install flow restrictors.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-a739e0\" class=\"body-graf\">Everyone tested each showerhead for at least a month while taking note of how easy a model was to install, whether it impacted water pressure, how it worked and any changes we noticed in our skin or hair.<\/p>\n<div class=\"styles_faqEmbed___pwwo\" data-testid=\"article-faq-embed\" id=\"anchor-75b273\">\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"styles_faqHeadline__pt29p\"><span class=\"text\">Frequently asked questions<\/span><\/h2>\n<div data-testid=\"faq-embed__cards\">\n<div class=\"styles_faqCard___5EGp\" data-testid=\"faq-card__card\">\n<div class=\"styles_faqCardContent__Fcopg\"><button class=\"styles_faqCardQuestion__RTQxf\" type=\"button\" data-testid=\"faq-card__question\"><\/p>\n<p>What types of filters are best for filtered showerheads?<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"styles_faqCardAnswer__o3VoT\" data-testid=\"faq-card__answer\">\n<div>\n<p>There\u2019s no standard or overall &#8220;best&#8221; filter, and each type removes something different from your water. Brands often include multiple filters in a showerhead to offer maximum purification.<\/p>\n<p>Below, I listed some of the common filters you\u2019ll see when shopping and what each one does, according to experts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>KDF-55 filters<\/strong> (aka <a href=\"https:\/\/kdf.kymerainternational.com\/products\" target=\"_blank\">kinetic degradation fluxion filters<\/a>)<strong> <\/strong>reduce heavy metals and chlorine in water. Heavy metals can cause scale buildup (crusty mineral deposits) in your shower or tub, while chlorine can lead to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/dry-skin-week\" target=\"_blank\">dry skin<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/best-shampoo-for-damaged-hair-rcna128625\" target=\"_blank\">hair damage<\/a>, says Anderson. Municipalities often add small amounts of chlorine or chloramine to water to kill germs, disinfecting it so it\u2019s safe to drink, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/drinking-water\/about\/about-water-disinfection-with-chlorine-and-chloramine.html\" target=\"_blank\">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a>. KDF-55 filters, among other types, then reduce the presence of that chlorine and chloramine in water before it touches your body. This can make for more hydrated skin and healthier hair over time, he says.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Activated carbon filters <\/strong>reduce odors and chlorine in water.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ceramic filters<\/strong> reduce dirt, debris and bacteria in water.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Calcium sulfite filters<\/strong> reduce chloramine and chlorine in water.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) filters<\/strong> reduce chloramine and chlorine  in water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Before purchasing a filtered showerhead, the experts I talked to recommend getting your water tested. Doing so tells you the exact impurities present in it and at what levels. Get your water tested by an EPA-registered lab if you can, although you can also buy at-home water test kits. Still, keep in mind that at-home kits can\u2019t give you in-depth information and tend to be much less accurate than lab results, plus they\u2019re prone to user error, says Anderson.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"styles_faqCard___5EGp\" data-testid=\"faq-card__card\">\n<div class=\"styles_faqCardContent__Fcopg\"><button class=\"styles_faqCardQuestion__RTQxf\" type=\"button\" data-testid=\"faq-card__question\"><\/p>\n<p>What is flow rate?<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"styles_faqCardAnswer__o3VoT\" data-testid=\"faq-card__answer\">\n<div>\n<p>Flow rate is the amount of water that comes out of a fixture (like a showerhead) during a certain period of time.

But by the time water makes its way through pipes and onto your skin and hair, it can pick up contaminants. If you get water from a private well, filtering water is up to each individual homeowner.<\/p>\n<p>That said, most water is not thoroughly filtered when it comes out of a bathroom showerhead. That\u2019s where shower filters come in. They\u2019re point-of-use filters, meaning they reduce water impurities  at the point water comes out. This is different from a point-of-entry filter, which reduces water impurities as it enters the home\u2019s pipes, says Anderson. One isn&#8217;t necessarily better than the other \u2014 it\u2019s more about what works with where you live. For example, you can&#8217;t install a point-of-entry filter in a rental building because it would impact the water every resident uses. Instead, you need to install point-of-use filters for the water fixtures in your unit. If you live in a house you own, you can install a point-of-entry filter.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, filtered showerheads are typically easy to install regardless of where you live. They\u2019re also just as easy to uninstall, so you can take them with you if you move. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"styles_faqCard___5EGp\" data-testid=\"faq-card__card\">\n<div class=\"styles_faqCardContent__Fcopg\"><button class=\"styles_faqCardQuestion__RTQxf\" type=\"button\" data-testid=\"faq-card__question\"><\/p>\n<p>How do filtered showerheads benefit your skin?<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"styles_faqCardAnswer__o3VoT\" data-testid=\"faq-card__answer\">\n<div>\n<p>Filtered showerheads can reduce the presence of potentially-irritating minerals in your water, like calcium, magnesium and chlorine, which people with sensitive skin, dry skin and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/best-eczema-lotions-ncna1298695\">eczema<\/a> are especially vulnerable to, says Dr. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookejeffymd.com\/\">Brooke Jeffy<\/a>, a board-certified dermatologist and founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meetbtwn.com\/\">Btwn<\/a>, a skin care brand for teens and tweens. Shower filters can also make your skin feel softer, she says.<\/p>\n<p>When minerals like calcium, magnesium and chlorine build up on the skin, they tend to disrupt the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/best-barrier-creams-rcna118121\">skin barrier<\/a>, leading to dryness and irritation, says Jeffy. These minerals can also bind with certain ingredients in skin care products, like surfactants (cleaning agents) in cleansers, causing them to leave a residue behind that may lead to irritation, clogged pores and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/what-are-best-skin-care-products-acne-prone-skin-look-ncna1032911\">breakouts<\/a>.

If your shower water has high concentrations of minerals like chlorine, calcium and magnesium, the protective outer layer of the hair strand (the hair cuticle) can absorb them, leading to dry, brittle, dull and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/best-color-depositing-shampoo-rcna149535\">discolored hair<\/a>, says Sara Hallajian, trichologist and the founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amesalonla.com\/\">Ame Salon<\/a> in California.

It can also cause scale, which is a white film you\u2019ll see when water dries on surfaces like dishware, faucets and countertops, says Anderson. Scale buildup can clog water fixtures and appliances, shortening their lifespan.<\/p>\n<p>Hard water is quite common in the U.S., but it doesn\u2019t cause issues for everyone. There are different hardness levels, which are measured in grains per gallon. The higher the calcium and magnesium levels are in water, the \u201charder\u201d it is and the more likely it is to cause problems, says Anderson.<\/p>\n<p>There aren\u2019t many places in the U.S. where water is considered soft. \u201cSoft water is hardness below one grain per gallon, and that\u2019s pretty rare,\u201d says Anderson. \u201cYour typical U.S. household will have anywhere from three to 10 grains of hardness per gallon of water.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"styles_faqCard___5EGp\" data-testid=\"faq-card__card\">\n<div class=\"styles_faqCardContent__Fcopg\"><button class=\"styles_faqCardQuestion__RTQxf\" type=\"button\" data-testid=\"faq-card__question\"><\/p>\n<p>How do you know if you have hard water?<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"styles_faqCardAnswer__o3VoT\" data-testid=\"faq-card__answer\">\n<div>\n<p>According to Marecheau, telltale signs that you have hard water include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Scale buildup on your showerheads and faucets, which appears as white or chalky deposits<\/li>\n<li>Glass in your shower that looks like it\u2019s permanently frosted<\/li>\n<li>Soap scum in your bathroom that\u2019s difficult to remove<\/li>\n<li>Dry or filmy skin or hair after showering<\/li>\n<li>Hair that feels weighed down after showering<\/li>\n<li>Soap that doesn\u2019t lather properly when you\u2019re using it<\/li>\n<li>Spots on dishes that won\u2019t go away after you hand-wash them or put them through the dishwasher multiple times<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you can check off a handful of the signs above, Marecheau recommends consulting a professional who can test your home\u2019s water, talk you through an in-depth analysis and make recommendations for next steps. You can also buy hardness test strips, which give you a range of mineral concentrations in your water. These strips are not as accurate or helpful compared to a professional consultation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"styles_faqCard___5EGp\" data-testid=\"faq-card__card\">\n<div class=\"styles_faqCardContent__Fcopg\"><button class=\"styles_faqCardQuestion__RTQxf\" type=\"button\" data-testid=\"faq-card__question\"><\/p>\n<p>Can shower filters soften hard water?<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"styles_faqCardAnswer__o3VoT\" data-testid=\"faq-card__answer\">\n<div>\n<p>No, shower filters can&#8217;t soften hard water, says Anderson. They\u2019re designed to reduce the presence of water impurities, not \u201csoften\u201d it. Softening hard water is a complicated process involving an ion exchange, which basic shower filters can\u2019t do. However, so long as they\u2019re made with filters designed to do so, shower filters can reduce the concentration of the minerals responsible for hardness in your water so it\u2019s less likely to cause negative side effects like scale buildup and damaged hair, says Anderson.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"styles_faqCard___5EGp\" data-testid=\"faq-card__card\">\n<div class=\"styles_faqCardContent__Fcopg\"><button class=\"styles_faqCardQuestion__RTQxf\" type=\"button\" data-testid=\"faq-card__question\"><\/p>\n<p>Do shower filters reduce water pressure?<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"styles_faqCardAnswer__o3VoT\" data-testid=\"faq-card__answer\">\n<div>\n<p>Shower filters can slightly reduce water pressure, but you shouldn\u2019t be able to notice it, especially when the filter is brand new, says Marecheau. As you use the showerhead, its filter gets filled with debris, so it\u2019s important to change the filter as regularly as the brand recommends to maintain proper flow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/best-filtered-showerheads-rcna153901#anchor-840bad\" id=\"anchor-840bad\" class=\"scrollLink\"><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"body-heading\">Meet our experts<\/h2>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-b07d24\" class=\"body-graf\">At NBC Selected, we work with experts who have specialized knowledge and authority based on relevant training and\/or experience.
