Shower Water Filter Australia | Best Water Filter for Shower for Clean & Safe Water

Shower filters for a fresher, gentler daily rinse

If your shower sometimes has a strong “chlorine smell”, or your skin and hair feel tight after rinsing, a shower filter can be a simple, comfort-focused upgrade. Our shower filters Australia range includes options for fixed shower heads, handheld showers and shower hoses — plus replacement cartridges to keep your system working as intended.

Key benefits

• Helps reduce chlorine smell: Many people choose shower filtration to improve how the water smells and feels.
• Comfort-first: Filtered shower water can feel gentler for everyday showering (results vary by person and water supply).
• Easy installation: Most models screw on between existing fittings — ideal for renters and quick DIY setups.
• Options to match your shower: Choose inline, slimline, handheld or shower hose styles depending on your bathroom.

How it works

Shower filters are installed at the point of use (right where the water leaves the shower). Depending on the model, they may use carbon-based media, KDF-style media, or proprietary blends designed for shower conditions to help reduce chlorine and improve shower comfort. Because every home’s water is different, it’s best to check each product page for what that model is designed to reduce.

What you get

• Inline / high-output shower filters for fixed shower heads
• Slimline shower filter options for compact installs
• Handheld and shower hose filters for flexible bathroom setups (popular with renters)
• Replacement cartridges for compatible shower filter models

Installation & maintenance

Install: Turn off the shower, unscrew the connection point, and hand-tighten the filter into place (no special tools for most standard fittings). After installing a new cartridge, run water briefly to flush any loose carbon fines (normal for many carbon-based filters).

Replace: Cartridge life varies by model, household usage and local water conditions. If you notice reduced flow or the return of stronger chlorine smell, it’s usually time to replace the cartridge. Always follow the instructions on the product page for your specific model.

Hard water note: Shower filters are not the same as a dedicated water softener. If scale or hard water is your main issue across the whole home, a whole-house approach may suit you better.

FAQs

• Do shower filters reduce chlorine?
  Many shower filters are designed to help reduce chlorine and improve shower comfort. Performance varies by model and water conditions, so check the individual product page for what your chosen filter is designed to reduce.
• Which shower filter style is best for renters?
  Shower hose and inline screw-on filters are popular for renters because they can usually be installed and removed without permanent plumbing changes.
• Will a shower filter reduce hard water scale?
  Shower filters are not a dedicated water softener. If you’re dealing with heavy scale across fixtures and appliances, a whole-house solution may be a better fit.
• Will a shower filter affect water pressure?
  Some people notice little to no change, while others may see a small difference depending on the model and existing water pressure. If flow drops over time, it’s often a sign the cartridge needs replacing.
• How often do I need to replace the cartridge?
  Replacement timing varies by model, usage and water quality. If chlorine smell returns or flow reduces, it’s usually time to replace. Follow the guidance on your product page.
• Do shower filters remove fluoride?
  Most shower filters are chosen for chlorine reduction and shower comfort rather than fluoride removal. If fluoride reduction is important for drinking water, look at dedicated drinking-water filtration options designed for that purpose.
