Compare Leading Shower Filter
Brands
Leading Brand Comparison;
1-5 A 's,
with 5 being the best.
Of the many brands of
shower filters on the market,
the 4 shown below are the only
brands we found that performed
as claimed. Shower filters are
not regulated by any government
agency, like drinking water
filters are, and therefore we
found that many companies made
unrealistic and exaggerated
performance claims. To
effectively remove chlorine from
shower water at 2.5 gallons per
minute, a certain volume of
filter media is required. Most
of the smaller brands we
reviewed simply did not offer a
large enough volume of media to
be effective. The top 4 we show
below performed at or near the
manufacturers claims.
