AQUERIE Rituel Shower Filter

Yes, in almost every UK home. It uses the universal G1/2 inch thread, which covers fixed heads, handhelds, rainfall heads, thermostatic bar mixers, electric showers and combi systems. It sits between your hose or arm and the shower head you already own, so you keep the head you like.

No. It goes on by hand in under sixty seconds. Wrap the thread with the PTFE tape in the box, screw the filter on, then screw your shower head back on. Nothing beyond your hands is needed.

You should not notice a change in a normal household system. A diffuser at the top spreads the water across the full width of the media rather than forcing it through a narrow channel. Worth saying plainly though. If your shower is already weak, a filter will not make it stronger.

Yes. Fit it to the hose outlet below the unit rather than above it, so everything downstream of the heater is filtered.

Yes. It goes on by hand and comes off by hand, and it leaves nothing behind. When you move, it comes with you.

No. It does not heat or cool the water, and it does not restrict the flow enough to alter the temperature you set.

Almost always the thread tape. Unscrew it, wrap the thread three or four times with PTFE tape in the direction the filter tightens, then hand tighten firmly. If it still weeps, email Support@Aquerie.com and we will replace it.

Water meets Vitamin C first, as calcium ascorbate, where it is hottest and contact time matters most. Then KDF 55, a copper and zinc alloy that works on chlorine and on metals picked up along the pipe. Then coconut shell activated carbon and calcium sulfite, graded in more than one particle size. A diffuser at the top spreads the water across the full media bed so it meets all of it rather than channelling through the middle.

No. Softening means removing calcium and magnesium by ion exchange, and nothing that fits inside a shower can do that in the seconds the water is there. Any brand telling you otherwise is overselling. What it does do is filter chlorine and capture heavy metals, and help prevent limescale. Results will vary, depending on the water system, water flow and water type in each household.

The chlorine smell tends to go first, often on the first shower. Skin and hair take longer, usually a few weeks, because both are responding to a daily change rather than a single one.

Chlorine is added to every mains supply in the UK, hard water or not, so the filtration still does its work. The difference tends to be most obvious in the harder supply areas of the south and east. If you are not sure, our free water report tells you what your own supplier publishes for your postcode.

About every six months in a typical household. Heavy use, a larger household or a very hard supply will shorten that.

Unscrew the housing by hand, lift the spent cartridge out, drop the new one in, and screw the housing back on. It takes about a minute and needs no tools.

Mostly so you do not have to remember. A spent cartridge does not fail, it quietly stops working, and most people only notice weeks later. The plan sends the next one before that happens, at £32.00 every six months with free delivery.

From your account, or from the email that arrives before every delivery. There is no minimum and no notice period.

Yes, at any time, from the same place. If six months is too often for one person, push it out. If your household is larger, bring it in.

Free UK delivery on every order. Express delivery arrives in 3 to 9 business days with free tracking.

30 day money back guarantee from the delivery date. The filter is also covered by a 12 month warranty against defects. Email Support@Aquerie.com and we will sort it.
