See it in action
I honestly wasn’t expecting to notice any difference, but the water feels softer (somehow slicker) and my hair dries much lighter and fluffier, even with the exact same products. That wasn’t my goal — just an unexpected side effect. The water also smells cleaner, it removed the faint scent I didn't realize I had gotten used to.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about our products, shipping, returns, and more.
For many people, a filtered showerhead is one of the most noticeable upgrades they can make to their daily routine.
It can improve water quality at the point of use, help reduce chlorine exposure, support a better shower experience, and protect against some of the common frustrations people have with tap water, especially dry skin, dull hair, or strong chemical smell.
The biggest difference between products usually comes down to filter quality, materials, water pressure, and how easy the filter is to replace.
A premium filtered showerhead also tends to last longer and perform more consistently than lower-cost plastic alternatives.
The benefits of a filtered showerhead are wide-ranging, and include potential cost savings from reduced product use, water use, and treatments.
A filtered showerhead is a smart upgrade for anyone who wants cleaner shower water, especially if you deal with dry skin, itchy skin, sensitive skin, brittle hair, color fading, hair shedding, or irritation after showering. Most tap water contains chlorine, heavy metals, and chemical byproducts that can come into direct contact with your skin and hair every day, and those same contaminants are also released into the air through hot steam during your shower.
A filtered showerhead is especially helpful for people with eczema-prone skin, acne-prone skin, color-treated hair, textured hair, or anyone who notices that their skin and hair feel worse after showering. It is also ideal if you live in an area with hard water, high chlorine levels, or water that has a noticeable smell.
A vitamin C showerhead adds another layer of benefit by helping neutralize chlorine while creating a gentler shower experience that many people find better for skin comfort and hair feel.
Tap water often contains chlorine, heavy metals, and chemical byproducts that come into direct contact with your skin and hair during every shower. We explain more about this in our science behind shower water filtration article.
A filtered showerhead can improve shower water quality, but it is important to understand what it can and cannot do with hard water.
Hard water contains dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium, which are difficult to fully remove in a showerhead-sized filter. A filtered showerhead is not the same as a whole-home water softener, so it will not completely soften hard water.
What it can do is help reduce chlorine, heavy metals, sediment, and other common tap water contaminants that often make hard water feel harsher on skin and hair. Many people notice that filtered water feels gentler during daily showers, even if mineral hardness is still present.
For homes with hard water, a filtered showerhead is often one of the easiest ways to improve the shower experience without installing a larger water treatment system.
A high-quality filtered showerhead like ours will still deliver strong water pressure. Our showerhead is designed around a 1.8 GPM flow rate, which meets legal standards for U.S. water efficiency while still producing strong spray performance through pressure-optimized nozzle design.
A well-designed filtered showerhead often feels better than older standard showerheads because the spray pattern and nozzle engineering matter just as much as total flow rate. Lower flow can actually improve efficiency when the spray is more focused and evenly distributed.
A vitamin C showerhead can offer an important advantage because vitamin C reacts quickly with free chlorine in water while also helping shift shower water toward a lower pH.
Most tap water is slightly alkaline, and chlorine can make that water feel harsher on skin and hair. Vitamin C helps neutralize chlorine and lower the pH of the water passing through the filter, creating a shower experience that is often gentler on the skin barrier and hair cuticle.
Lower-pH water is generally closer to the natural pH of healthy skin and hair. This can help support smoother-feeling hair, less dryness, reduced frizz, and a more comfortable rinse for people with sensitive or easily irritated skin.
Many standard shower filters rely on only one filtration material, which may limit what they are designed to reduce. A vitamin C showerhead adds another layer of filtration, but the strongest designs combine vitamin C with other media such as KDF-55 and activated carbon so the filter can target a broader range of common contaminants while also improving how the water feels during daily use.
That is why a vitamin C showerhead is often most effective when it is part of a multi-media filtered showerhead rather than used alone.

Shower water and drinking water usually come from the same municipal source, but the way your body is exposed during a shower can be very different.
When hot water runs through a shower, chlorine and other volatile compounds can be released into the air as steam, which means exposure happens through both inhalation and skin contact, not just ingestion. Because a shower creates repeated full-body contact over several minutes, daily exposure during showering is often thought to be more significant than many people realize.
Your skin is also your body’s largest organ, and warm water can increase permeability, especially during a hot shower. This is one reason some people pay closer attention to shower water quality, particularly after exercise, sauna use, or sweating heavily, when pores are more open and the skin is already warm.
For anyone showering every day, a filtered showerhead can help reduce common tap water contaminants at the point of use and improve the overall quality of the water you are exposed to most often.
A filtered showerhead is not a medical treatment, but many people choose one because tap water quality can affect how skin and hair feel after showering.
Chlorine and certain water contaminants can contribute to dryness, irritation, and a stripped feeling on both skin and scalp. For people with sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, or dry hair, cleaner shower water may feel gentler during daily use.
A vitamin C showerhead may also help create a softer-feeling rinse by helping neutralize chlorine before it reaches the skin.
Because every person and every water supply is different, results can vary.
Some experts suggest that people with dry skin, sensitive skin, eczema-prone skin, or scalp irritation pay attention to shower water quality, especially when chlorine levels are high or the water feels harsh after bathing.
A filtered showerhead is not a medical treatment, but it can help reduce common tap water contaminants such as chlorine that may contribute to dryness or irritation during daily showers. Because chlorine is designed to disinfect water, it can also strip natural oils from the skin and hair, which is one reason some people notice tight skin, itchiness, or dull hair after showering.
This can matter even more because shower exposure happens through both skin contact and inhalation of steam. Hot water releases chlorine and other volatile compounds into the air, so during a shower your body is exposed through multiple pathways at once.
Many people also shower after workouts, sauna sessions, or sweating, when skin is warm and pores are more open, which may increase how noticeable harsh water feels on the skin.
For people already investing in skincare, haircare, or treatments recommended by a dermatologist, improving shower water quality is often seen as a practical way to support those efforts every day.
Transform your daily routine with our Vitamin C Filtered Showerhead, a premium upgrade designed with our community, friends, and the planet in mind.
Unlike standard options, our filtration system is handmade in the USA, featuring a stitched cotton bag filled with a premium blend of KDF-55, granular activated carbon, and real Vitamin C.

The combination of contaminant reduction and Vitamin C infusion cannot be found anywhere else.
Crafted from durable stainless steel with minimal plastic, our sustainable showerhead delivers the perfect balance of luxury and efficiency. Experience strong, consistent water pressure and multiple customizable spray settings without excess waste. With simple installation and zero fussy maintenance, Citrus creates a smoother, healthier, and more refreshing experience for all hair and skin types.
- Use the included wrench to remove your old showerhead.
To remove your old showerhead, you'll need to find the connection nut. This is the part that attaches your current showerhead to the pipe in your wall, and it usually looks like a large metal nut or ring. Use the included wrench to firmly grip the nut and gently turn it counterclockwise (to the left). You might need to apply some force, but if the connection nut feels stuck, try spraying some penetrating oil on it and letting it sit for a few minutes before trying again. - [Optional] Wrap the included hemp fiber around the threaded end of your exposed shower pipe (if needed to prevent leaks).
You'll find a small amount of hemp fiber included with your showerhead. This natural material creates a tight seal around the pipe. Carefully wrap the hemp fiber around the threaded part of the pipe sticking out from the wall. Make sure the wraps are neat and even, and cover the entire threaded section. This will help ensure a secure and leak-free connection when you attach the new showerhead. Please note: This step might not be necessary depending on the age, size, and condition of your pipe. You are welcome to skip this step at first to see if this joint leaks before applying the hemp fiber. - Install your new showerhead; tighten with the built-in wing nut or included wrench.
Now it's time to install your new showerhead! Carefully align the showerhead with the threaded pipe and screw it on by hand, twisting clockwise (to the right). Once it's hand-tight, use the included wrench or the built-in wing nut to gently tighten the connection. Be careful not to over-tighten (whatever you can do with one hand should be sufficient), as this can damage the showerhead or the pipe.
Important notes:
- Our showerhead has a built-in flow restrictor. Removing it, though technically possible, risks damage to the showerhead.
- For the first few seconds of your first few showers, you might notice a light yellow tint in the water. Don’t worry, this is completely normal! It’s just a bit of residual vitamin C dust rinsing off the filter. We use pure, food-grade vitamin C in our filters to help neutralize chlorine and boost water quality. Most of it is infused inside ceramic beads for a slow, steady release that ensures your filter delivers clean, clear water for its entire lifespan.
Use your filtered showerhead exactly like a normal showerhead. Once installed, it works automatically every time you shower.
There is no special setting required for filtration. Water passes through the filter media during normal daily use, helping reduce chlorine and other common tap water contaminants before the water reaches your skin and hair.
You can use it every day for rinsing, shampooing, face washing, shaving, and full showers. The three spray settings also let you choose the experience you want, whether that is stronger pressure, wider coverage, or a softer rinse.
Mineral buildup from hard water is often the reason showerheads become difficult to remove. If this is happening to you, try these steps in order to get it unstuck:
- Using an adjustable wrench, carefully turn counterclockwise.
- Apply warm water to loosen mineral buildup.
- Dribble a small amount of white vinegar around the threads to help dissolve scale.
- Wrap a vinegar-soaked towel around the joint for 10-15 minutes.
Our filtered showerhead uses a triple-media filter made with KDF-55, granular activated carbon (GAC), and vitamin C ceramic balls.
KDF-55 helps reduce chlorine and certain heavy metals through a redox process and is commonly used in premium water filtration systems.
Granular activated carbon (GAC) is designed to help reduce chlorine byproducts, odors, and certain organic compounds that may be present in tap water.
Vitamin C ceramic balls help neutralize free chlorine and add a vitamin C infusion to the shower water, which many people prefer for a softer-feeling rinse.
This combination of contaminant removal and Vitamin C infusion is unique only to Citrus Wellness Co. Our filter is more advanced than many standard shower filters because it targets a broader range of common tap water contaminants instead of relying on a single media type.
You can learn more about the ingredients in our filter in this blog post.
Replacing the filter is simple and takes only a few minutes.
- Press the center button to remove the face from the outer housing
- Remove the cap on the top of the filter compartment
- Remove your old filter and replace it with your new one. If you need to order a new filter, you can do so here.
- Reassemble the showerhead, ensuring both sides click into place.
- Run water briefly before use
Most customers replace their filter about every six months, depending on shower frequency and local water quality.
Because our filter is larger than many standard showerhead filters, it is designed for longer life and more consistent performance over time.
Most filtered showerheads use disposable plastic filter cartridges that are thrown away every few months, creating ongoing landfill waste over the life of the product. Ours was designed differently.
Our filter contains no disposable plastic cartridge, and both the used filter and the showerhead itself are part of our takeback program. When your filter is spent, you can send it back to us so the materials can be separated and directed toward proper recycling, regeneration, or repurposing whenever possible.
The showerhead body is made from durable 304 stainless steel, which is built to last longer than lightweight plastic alternatives and is widely recyclable at end of life.
This approach helps reduce waste compared with many standard filtered showerheads, especially for customers who replace filters regularly over many years.
For anyone looking for a more eco-friendly filtered showerhead, this means cleaner water with a lower long-term waste footprint.
Most shower filters last between a few months and six months depending on water quality, shower length, and how many people use the shower.
Our filter is designed to last up to about six months under typical household use, which is based on roughly two ten-minute showers per day.
Because the filter contains more media than many standard shower filter cartridges, it is built for longer use and more consistent performance over time.
If your home has very high chlorine levels or heavy water usage, replacement may be needed sooner.
A high-quality filtered showerhead is designed to help reduce a wide range of common tap water contaminants, not just chlorine.
Municipal tap water is treated to meet safety standards for drinking, but that does not mean every substance is fully removed before the water reaches your skin and hair in the shower. There are also many substances that are not currently subject to strict federal limits or treated for at the municipal level. These include certain industrial compounds, emerging contaminants, trace pharmaceutical residues, and newer chemical byproducts that utilities are not always required to routinely remove.
A multi-media filtered showerhead may help reduce:
- Chlorine, one of the most common disinfectants used in municipal water.
- Chloramine, a chlorine-ammonia disinfectant used by many cities because it stays in water longer.
- Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, nickel, copper, and chromium that can enter water through aging pipes or plumbing systems.
- Rust, sediment, and particulate matter that can come from older infrastructure
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are carbon-based chemicals that can enter water through industrial runoff, agricultural activity, household contamination, or treatment processes. Common VOCs found in tap water include chloroform, benzene, and toluene.
- Disinfection byproducts, which form when chlorine reacts with organic matter in water.
Because shower water is heated, some contaminants can also become airborne in steam, which means exposure happens through both skin contact and inhalation, not just direct contact with water.
Our filter combines KDF-55, granular activated carbon, and vitamin C to target a broader range of common shower water contaminants than many single-media shower filters, while also improving how the water feels during daily use.
