FAQs
What’s the difference between Shower Head, Rain Shower and the Shower Filter?
Most filtered showerheads found on websites like Amazon only use KDF-55 or activated carbon materials as the "filter." But they don't contain anything for ultrafiltration capabilities to filter our physical contaminents. In other words, they don't do the job very well. We made eskiin to have the best water filtration capabilities on the market. eskiin combines both KDF-55 and activated carbon into its 15-layer filtration system. There is no showerhead filter on the market like ours.
What’s actually inside the filter, and how does it work?
eskiin's filter is compact but mighty! There are 15 layers inside working to filter out chlorine, heavy metals like arsenic, cadmium, nickel, mercury, chromium, zinc, and lead, bacteria, and microplastics. Here's what makes up eskiin's 15 layers:
1. High density stainless steel mesh: Acts as a body guard for any contaminants and impurities entering or leaving the shower head and increases water pressure.
2. PP Cotton: Absorbs dirt, dust, impurities and other harmful substances; leaving your skin smoother, your hair softer.
3.VC: filters residual chlorine and other impurities from hard water.
4. Maifan Stone: is really good at getting rid of harmful stuff like mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, and other heavy metals. It also helps filter fluoride and disinfects gases like chlorine.
5. Mineralized Ball: Gets rid of almost all the chlorine toxins in water.
6. Magnetic Energy Ball: Boosts the amount of good air ions and raises the level of dissolved oxygen in water.
7. Ceramic Ball: Makes the water active and charged, kills bacteria, and lessens the bad effects of chlorine.
8. Alkaline Ball: Turns acidic water to alkaline.
9. Calcium Sulphite: Takes out Chlorine and Chloramines from your shower water. Sulphites react with the chlorine in the shower water to filter it.
10. KDF-55: Gets rid of almost all of the lead, nickel, mercury, chromium, and other metals that dissolve in water. The KDF filter also prevents the growth of bacteria, fungi, algae, and scale.
11. Coconut Activated Carbon: Is considered as the best solution for activated carbon. When water impurities like chlorine, oxygen, and fluorine go through the coconut activated carbon with pressure, they react with the carbon and get absorbed.
12. PP Cotton: Absorbs dirt, dust, impurities and other harmful substances; leaving your skin smoother, your hair softer.
13. High density stainless steel mesh: Acts as a body guard for any contaminants and impurities entering or leaving the shower head and increases water pressure.
14 & 15. 2 x toxin ultra filter membranes: The sides of the membrane can catch really tiny bits in shower water, getting rid of 98-99% of the cloudiness. This includes things like rust, microplastics, dirt, bacteria, lead, sediment, algae, fungus, and other things as small as 0.2 microns.
How easy is it to install?
Super easy, even for the least handy of people! eskiin is installed in just three steps- no plumber needed.
Will it soften my water?
Not in the same way as a traditional water softener.
A water softener removes the calcium and magnesium that make water hard, usually for your entire home. Our filter doesn't remove those minerals, so your water's hardness level stays the same.
Instead, Hello Klean is engineered to reduce the effects of harsh water on your hair and skin.
Our multi-stage filter significantly reduces free chlorine, while CRS is used for scale control to help reduce the mineral deposits left behind on your hair and skin.
CRS (used in our Shower Heads) is a plant-derived, amino acid-based scale inhibitor that binds to calcium and magnesium, keeping them dispersed in the water rather than allowing them to crystallise and form limescale. It delivers a minimum of 82% scale inhibition across 8,000 litres, helping reduce the buildup that can leave hair feeling rough, skin feeling dry and shower surfaces coated in scale.
So while your water isn't technically softer, the result is water that feels noticeably gentler on your hair and skin.
If your goal is preventing limescale throughout your home, you'll need a traditional water softener. If you're looking to improve the quality of the water you shower in — and reduce the effects of harsh water on your hair and skin — Hello Klean is a simple, renter-friendly solution.
How often do I need to replace my filter?
On average, your filter needs to be changed every 3 months, but potentially more often if you're, say, a family of four all using the showerhead 1-2 times daily versus a single-person household showering once daily.
