Filtered vs. Unfiltered Shower Water: What’s the Real Difference?
Share
You’ve probably heard about filtered showerheads.
Maybe you’ve even wondered if they’re worth it.
We get it — when it comes to beauty and wellness, there are plenty of things marketed as “game-changing.”
But what about your shower water?
Here’s what really happens when you switch from unfiltered to filtered — and why it matters more than you think.
What’s in Unfiltered Shower Water?
In most Australian homes, shower water contains:
-
Chlorine – added to disinfect, but harsh on skin and hair
-
Hard water minerals – calcium and magnesium that dry and dull
-
Heavy metals and sediment – from old pipes
-
Other unseen contaminants – like trace pesticides and microplastics
You won’t smell it. You won’t always see it.
But your skin and hair feel it — every single day.
What Changes When You Filter It?
We asked real customers to compare Flowy’s filtered water with their regular shower.
Here’s what they noticed within 1–2 weeks:
💧 Skin:
Felt less tight. Redness reduced. Moisturiser worked better.
“No more itchy legs after showers.”
💇 Hair:
Less frizz. Better shine. Easier detangling.
“My curls held longer, and I didn’t need as much conditioner.”
🧴 Products:
Lathered and rinsed better. No more heavy residue.
“Everything felt cleaner, faster.”
Filtered Water = Products That Work Better
When you remove chlorine and minerals, your skin and hair don’t have to fight back.
That means your skincare, shampoo, and conditioner finally get to do their job — instead of just damage control.

The Bottom Line?
Unfiltered water is invisible — but it’s not harmless.
If your skin’s dry or your hair never feels quite right,
you could spend $300 on new products…
or just fix what’s in your water for a fraction of the cost.
