The Trouble With Unfiltered Water.
While shower water might seem harmless and safe to you, it may contain trace elements of chlorine, chloramine, and heavy metals.
Your skin and lungs can be exposed to these chemicals, this is why your health and skin/hair texture needs to be sorted out with a shower filter. Here are the types of trouble:
The Solution (the bloody miracle) ➜ HF PuraRush
Try The Hydrofiltrr PuraRush.The Science Behind It
Just like when you get cold balls after going for a swim, what's the science behind that? You probably don't want to know. Us too. BUT! Here's some authentic evidence for water filters that show they really work.
Peer into The Science. Real, Authentic Studies.
Many field and lab studies research suggests point-of-use filters (like the Hydrofiltrr PuraRush) for showers and taps can effectively reduce certain contaminants, with strong evidence that leans toward positive outcomes for pathogen removal in showers, and heavy metals/PFAS in taps.
Efficacy and Effectiveness of Showerheads Attached with Point-of-use (POU) Filter Capsules in Preventing Waterborne Diseases in a Japanese Hospital
Efficacy and Effectiveness of Showerheads Attached with Point-of-use (POU) Filter Capsules in Preventing Waterborne Diseases in a Japanese Hospital
- In a Japanese hospital, researchers tested 0.2 µm (length of measurement equal to one millionth of a meter) sterile-grade POU filter capsules on showerheads by sampling water before and after installation over two months, targeting pathogenic bacteria. The filters completely removed Mycobacterium, Pseudomonas, Stenotrophomonas, Aeromonas, and Klebsiella species with no regrowth. Results confirm 100% pathogen removal, concluding that these filters prevent waterborne diseases effectively, when combined with regional water treatment.

Technologies for Legionella Control in Premise Plumbing Systems:
- The United States Environmental Protection Agency comprehensive guide evaluates microfiltration POU filters (0.2-1 µm) for Legionella removal in premise plumbing, citing field studies from hospitals involving water sampling and culture analysis. Results show filters achieved greater than 99% removal, reducing positive sites by over 51% an mean counts by 78%, with no detectable pathogens in effluent over 8-12 weeks.

Assessing the Effectiveness of Point-of-Use Residential Drinking Water Filters for Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs)
Assessing the Effectiveness of Point-of-Use Residential Drinking Water Filters for Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs)
- Researchers assessed that POU and POE (Point-of-entry) filters in 73 contaminated North Carolina homes in the United States used chromatography to measure PFAS levels before and after filtration. Reverse osmosis and dual-stage filters had removed 90 - 99% of all PFAS types, including short-chain variants. While activated carbon filters achieved 40 - 70% for longer chains. Conclusions show that while Reverse Osmosis Filtration Systems are very effective, Point-Of-Use filters have similar results and are significantly more affordable and easier to set up.

ug/L = Micrograms Per Liter --> A unit measuring small substances in a liquid.
- This review synthesizes lab and field data on SBAC (Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium) and Reverse Osmosis POU, showing 80 - 99% lead/copper reduction (e.g., Flint median from 2.5 to 0.11 micrograms per liter (µg/L) and 50 - 98% for DBPs. Reverse Osmosis had achieved 79 - 99% arsenic removal, with an initial 70 - 90% for PFOA and organics. POU filters are positioned as effective barriers against SDWA (Safe Drinking Water Act) violations in the United States.

POU water filters effectively reduce lead in drinking water: a demonstration field study in Flint, Michigan.
POU water filters effectively reduce lead in drinking water: a demonstration field study in Flint, Michigan.
ug/L = Micrograms Per Liter --> A unit measuring small substances in a liquid.
- Over 345 Flint residences were sampled for lead and metals pre- and post-NSF-certified faucet-mounted filters. Filtered water showed greater than 97% below a 0.5 µg/L lead (max 2.9 µg/L from up to 4,080 µg/L unfiltered), with 98% copper below 5 µg/L. Certified POU filters proved reliable for extreme contamination scenarios.

A critical review of point-of-use drinking water treatment in the United States
A critical review of point-of-use drinking water treatment in the United States
- The review analyzed activated carbon, Reverse Osmosis, and UV Point-of-Use systems, citing greater than 90% PFAS removal (Reverse Osmosis >99% for PFOS/PFOA, which are man made forever chemicals that resist water, oil, and stains whilst primarily used in non-stick cookware, firefighting foams, and food packaging) and >99% pathogen rejection. Ion exchange/Reverse Osmosis reduced metals like lead by >90%, with UV inactivating E. coli effectively.
