WaterSticks KDF Filter

This 100% KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion) filter is NSF certified to remove at least 90% of chlorine, lasts for a year, and is very reasonably priced. This is the best shower head filter in my opinion because KDF is the gold standard in filtering chlorine. It screws in at the pipe and fits well with any shower head brand. It’s not fancy, but it’s great for its effectiveness and gimmick-free style.

Jolie KDF-Calcium Filter

Jolie uses a combination of KDF and calcium sulfite to purify the water. It’s not certified by NSF, but they state a third party lab confirms they surpass these requirements. With just 2 ingredients, and especially having KDF, this is a solid option, and is very aesthetically pleasing.

Shower Head Water Filters

WaterSticks Softening Filter

Normal shower head water filters cannot effectively remove what makes water “hard”— calcium and magnesium (even though many claim to!) This process requires an ion exchange column. WaterSticks uniquely offers one that attaches below the shower head.

Aquasana Carbon Filter

If you prefer a pure carbon filter, choose one that is certified by NSF 177, which means it effectively removes 90% of chlorine. A little pricier than the simple KDF option, and requires replacement every 6 months, but the certification ensures it works well.
