Glokore Filtered Showerhead Review: Does Filtering Your Shower Water Help Dry Skin and Hair?
Glokore Filtered Showerhead
Hard water and chlorine leave skin tight and hair dull. A filtered showerhead is a cheap fix that plumbers rarely mention. Glokore's version screws on in a minute and promises softer water and better pressure. I swapped it into a bathroom with notoriously hard water.
What it is
A high-pressure showerhead with a built-in multi-stage filter cartridge. It replaces your existing head with no tools, and the cartridge swaps out every few months.
How it works
Water passes through layers that reduce chlorine, sediment and some metals before it hits you. The head is designed with fine nozzles that increase perceived pressure, which is a nice side effect in older homes.
The verdict
Skin felt less tight and the shower door had less spotting within a couple of weeks. It is one of the simplest home upgrades I have tested, and the pressure boost alone is worth it in a low-pressure house.
What we liked
- Tool-free install
- Noticeably softer water on skin and hair
- Higher pressure feel
- Affordable replacement cartridges
What to keep in mind
- Cartridges need replacing every few months
- Not a whole-house solution
