Best Filtered Shower Head
Hey everyone,
Long time follower of the bullet proof exec, but first time poster...and it's maybe a weird one!
I'd like to get a filtered shower head to further reduce my exposure to toxins, but I'm not sure where to start looking. I already use a filter for all water that I drink in the house. I'm from Scotland, so am looking for shower heads that I can get in the UK. Google has thrown up so many different options, but I was wondering if anyone in the UK has had any experience with buying one of these?
Thanks for your help!

I have been trying to find the best one for years and I still don't know what to use to be honest lol. I heard the vitamin c filters can help but I am nervous about it interacting with the chlorine creating a little bit of HCL.
Vitamin C Filters + Cholrine
C5H5O5CH2OH + HOCL → C5H3O5CH2OH + HCl + H2O
or
Ascorbic acid + Hypochlorous acid → DehydroAscorbic acid + Hydrochloric acid + water
Still working on it.

Thanks John!
Are there any good charcoal filters out there in the UK that work much the same as a Britta filter does? Google really ain't helping me this evening!

Installed that last night
i got one of these when i moved into this house last summer...i use it all the time. is there a good way to determine the quality of these things though?
Thanks! Do you know of any sites in the UK that carry it?
I take more baths using effervescent vitamin C tablets. But as far as a filtered showerhead, I've heard Berkey makes a good one :-P

I used to use Sprite filters, but I don't believe it neutralizes chloramines which is what my water treatment company uses. Chlorine + Ammonia, it's great!

I had this one for years before I installed a whole house water filter. It was great, easy maintenance, etc and durable.
Spec chart shows everything it filters out in comparison to other filters.

Sounds good, but I expect that I'll get hammered on shipping to the UK! Has anyone ordered this to the UK before?
Hi @Chilleddj ...If you want to purchase shower filter, then I recommend you to choose only eco-friendly shower head filter. It reduces the chloramines and harmful toxins.
