Shower filters
Take chlorine and heavy metals out of your shower water with natural coconut carbon. Alkanatur shower filters are the only ones certified free from calcium sulfite (E226).
Two filters, one technology
Both use the same compact coconut carbon block. The difference is how long they last and whether you can replace the filter or the whole unit.
Replaceable · lasts longest
Change the filter and the pre-filter. The housing stays.
Simple · most affordable
Install it and forget it. When it reaches 30,000 L (8,000 gal), replace the whole filter.

Water to drink and to shower with
What makes ours different
Many shower filters use calcium sulfite (E226, also spelled sulphite) because it is cheap and works as a filtration medium. The vapours it gives off can be toxic. Alkanatur shower filters do not use it, and our carbon block was tested by the CACTI laboratory at the University of Vigo.
How it works
Catches sediment and larger particles (0.02 micron) so the carbon lasts longer.
100% natural coconut carbon with pores up to 2 nm. We use twice as much carbon as most competitors.
Chlorine, trihalomethanes, heavy metals, bacteria, excess calcium and nitrates come out. Up to 99% of chlorine.
Recommended by specialists
The quality of the water we drink and bathe with affects the cellular functioning of skin and hair. This is because water can contain more salts, as well as other contaminants such as chlorine, heavy metals and trihalomethane.
Since using it my hair looks shinier, softer and healthier. I am simply delighted. It is also super easy to adapt to the shower.
The look and feel of my skin and hair have improved greatly, as has the peace of mind of reducing my body's absorption of chlorine.
Questions
Same filtration technology. The 30K filters 30,000 L (8,000 gal) and lasts about 5–6 months, then you replace the whole unit. The 50K filters 50,000 L (13,200 gal) and lets you replace just the filter every 10–12 months and the pre-filter every 5–6 months.
Calcium sulfite (E226) is used in many shower filters because it is effective and inexpensive. The vapours it gives off can be toxic. Ours is certified free from it.
It fits standard showers. A plastic installation wrench comes in the box with both the 30K and the 50K.
30K: the filter may be clogged. Run water through it in the opposite direction to clean it. 50K: rinse the pre-filter. If that does not help, the pre-filter may need replacing.
50K: pre-filter every 5–6 months, filter every 10–12 months. 30K: replace the unit after about 5–6 months or 30,000 L (8,000 gal).
