‘The Water2 shower has exceeded my expectations’
As many people reassess their routines at the start of the year, smaller, practical upgrades are increasingly taking priority over big lifestyle overhauls. One area quietly gaining attention is the quality of the water people shower in every day, particularly in hard water areas where dryness, irritation and build-up can become more noticeable over time.
The Water2 Filtered Showerhead, developed in collaboration with Bear Grylls, is currently available with £15 off using the code ‘FRIEND’, bringing the price down from £99 to £84, with the offer running until February 28 2026 at 11:59pm. Each showerhead also includes a replaceable 90-day filter capsule and is backed by a 100-day money back guarantee.
Interest in shower filtration has grown alongside concerns around chlorine, microplastics, THMs and limescale in UK tap water. The Water2 showerhead is designed to remove up to 90% of chlorine, filter microplastics and reduce harmful by-products before water reaches the skin or hair.
It also helps slow limescale build-up, which can affect both water flow and the feel of showering over time. The idea for the product came from a simple observation shared by Bear Grylls: while most people are careful about what they eat and drink, far less attention is paid to what they’re exposed to daily through water.
Working with Water2 founder Charles Robinson, the aim was to create a straightforward solution that improves water quality without complicated installation or ongoing maintenance. Unlike standard showerheads, the Water2 model uses a proprietary activated carbon filtration system that has been independently tested by third party laboratories, the brand says.
The showerhead is available from Water2
The Water2 showerhead is designed to remove up to 90% of chlorine, filter microplastics and reduce harmful by-products before water reaches the skin or hair.
Filtration happens instantly, helping soften the effects of hard water while maintaining and often improving water pressure, the brand claims. Many users report changes in how their skin and hair feel shortly after switching.
Installation takes under 30 seconds and requires no tools or plumbing adjustments. Filters are designed to be replaced every 90 days, with optional subscription services available to make up-keep simple.
An additional vitamin C capsule is also included, adding a refreshing sensory element to the shower experience. For some alternative options, Cult Beauty has a Hello Klean Shower Head Filter for £75 in the shade beige.
This is said to combine the ‘benefits of filtered shower water’ with a spa-like rain shower that then offers shoppers a purified showering ritual. It is specifically designed to counteract the effects of hard water and, according to the site, its hero ingredient is calcium sulphite, which can set off around 90% of chlorine.
Amazon also has the Royaltec Vitamin C Shower Head for £19.99 on its website, and over 100 people have bought it in the past month. This is a hard water filter and can remove chlorine, chloramine and sediments, and it reduces fluoride, the site says.
About Water2, however, one happy shopper commented on the showerhead, saying: “When I moved to London, my hair started to feel especially dry. It wasn’t until a friend stayed for a week that I realised it wasn’t just me. The same thing happened to me. Almost straight after filtering the shower water I felt that it looked better.”
A second person wrote: “The Water2 shower has exceeded my expectations. My skin feels smoother and my hair, too. The power certainly has improved, the water pressure is far stronger than my previous shower head. I have recommended the Water2 under sink filtration and showerhead to my daughter and son-in-law. Now we need some system for the bath water please.”
A handful of others deducted a star, however, as this person said: “Easy to install, great tasting water, slightly more drop in pressure than I would have liked, but overall a great product.”
Most were happy, however, as this person said: “Easy to replace the cartridge. Reset the buzzer as instructed and we go again for another year. Great water filter system.”
