How it Works

The Science Behind Every Shower

Your shower water passes through the filter in seconds. Here's what each stage catches on the way through - and what that actually means for your hair scalp and skin.

You filter your drinking water. What about the water you shower in?

A filter jug on the bench, filtered water in the fridge — that's normal now. Yet the water that runs over your scalp and through your hair for eight minutes every morning usually goes straight from the pipe to your head. Every day, for years.

Over your hair and skin in a single eight-minute shower.

Trichology-Led Shower Filtration

It catches the chloramine that other filters miss.

Less exposure to harsh disinfectants that can leave hair feeling dry and the scalp uncomfortable.

Australian water often contains chloramine—a tougher disinfectant than chlorine that standard carbon filters can struggle to reduce.

Trichopure uses catalytic carbon, designed to react faster and target chloramine as water flows through the filter.

Trichology-Led Shower Filtration

Reduces metal traces in your water.

Less metal residue coming into contact with your hair and scalp, shower after shower.

Household pipes can leave behind traces of metals such as lead, mercury and nickel.

Trichopure uses KDF 55, a copper-zinc media that helps reduce these metals as water flows through the filter, while also helping limit bacterial growth inside the cartridge.

Trichology-Led Shower Filtration

Targets chlorine across your shower temperature range.

Less of that dry, tight, stripped feeling after every shower.

Trichopure uses calcium sulphite, a fast-reacting media that helps reduce chlorine as water flows through the filter — across temperatures from 5°C to 60°C.

Trichology-Led Shower Filtration

Leaves water feeling softer and gentler.

Water that feels gentler as it flows over your hair, scalp and skin.

The final layer uses mineral balls to condition the water after the first three filtration stages have done the heavy lifting.

It’s the finishing stage, helping create a smoother, more pleasant shower experience.

TESTED TO DEFINED PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

LABORATORY TESTED BY SGS

Our filter was tested by SGS under laboratory conditions to measure its filtration performance against specific contaminants. SGS is a global testing, inspection and certification company.

What’s in your tap water?

Water Treatment Why It’s Used What Reaches Your Shower
Chlorine & Chloramine Keep water safe from harmful bacteria Residual levels can remain all the way to your tap
Metals & Minerals Can occur naturally or come from water treatment and pipes Small amounts may remain in your water
Fluoride Added to support dental health in some areas Remains in the water by design

These figures come from testing on the filtration media and components at first use - performance changes over the life of a cartridge, which is why changing it on time matters.
