The Water2 Filtered Showerhead, developed in collaboration with Bear Grylls, removes up to 90% of chlorine and filters microplastics
As the new year begins, many are focusing on small, practical changes rather than grand lifestyle transformations. One such area gaining traction is the quality of shower water, especially in hard water regions where issues like dryness, irritation and build-up can become increasingly apparent over time.
The Water2 Filtered Showerhead, a product developed in partnership with Bear Grylls, is currently on offer with a £15 discount using the code ‘FRIEND’. This reduces the price from £99 to £84, with the deal available until 11:59pm on February 28, 2026.
Each showerhead comes with a replaceable filter capsule that lasts for 90 days and is supported by a 100-day money-back guarantee. The interest in shower filtration has surged due to concerns about chlorine, microplastics, THMs and limescale present in UK tap water.
The Water2 showerhead is engineered to eliminate up to 90% of chlorine, filter out microplastics and reduce harmful by-products before they reach your skin or hair. Additionally, it aids in slowing down limescale accumulation, which can impact both the water flow and the overall showering experience over time.
The inspiration for this product came from an observation made by Bear Grylls: while most people are mindful about what they consume, far less consideration is given to what they’re exposed to daily through water, reports the Mirror. Working alongside Water2 founder Charles Robinson, the goal was to devise a simple solution that enhances water quality without the need for complex installation or ongoing maintenance.
The brand states that unlike conventional showerheads, the Water2 model utilises a unique activated carbon filtration system that has been independently verified by third-party labs. The brand asserts that filtration occurs instantly, helping to mitigate the effects of hard water while maintaining and often boosting water pressure.
Many users have reported noticeable changes in the feel of their skin and hair shortly after making the switch. Installation is a breeze, taking less than 30 seconds and requiring no tools or plumbing modifications.
Filters are designed to be replaced every 90 days, with optional subscription services on offer to simplify maintenance. An additional vitamin C capsule is also included, adding a refreshing sensory aspect to the shower experience.
For those seeking alternatives, Cult Beauty offers a Hello Klean Shower Head Filter for £75 in a beige shade. This is touted as combining the ‘benefits of filtered shower water’ with a spa-like rain shower, providing customers with a purified showering ritual.
It’s specifically engineered to counteract the effects of hard water and, according to the site, its star ingredient is calcium sulphite, which can neutralise around 90% of chlorine. Amazon also stocks the Royaltec Vitamin C Shower Head for £19.99 on its platform, with more than 100 customers purchasing it within the past month.
This hard water filter claims to eliminate chlorine, chloramine and sediments, whilst also reducing fluoride levels, according to the website. Regarding the Water2 system, one satisfied customer shared their experience: “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.”
Another buyer praised the product, writing: “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.”
Some customers did dock points from their rating, with one noting: “Easy to install, great tasting water, slightly more drop in pressure than I would have liked, but overall a great product.”
The majority remained pleased with their purchase though, as another reviewer stated: “Easy to replace the cartridge. Reset the buzzer as instructed and we go again for another year. Great water filter system.”
