Chlorine Removal: chlorine removal is the first stage of water softening. The best shower filters use bamboo carbon, KDF, chlorine, or the infrared stones to achieve this goal. Some of the filters may use the specific combination of the materials. Bamboo charcoal contains 98% of carbon. The process of adsorption which attracts and traps the chlorine molecules within its layers at a ratio of 1:6. KDF is another combinational material (copper and zinc alloy) which converts the harmful chlorine into water dissolvable harmless chlorides. The process of oxidation-reduction can convert more than 99.9% of the chlorine content. KDF can also increase the lifespan of the activated carbon layer by absorbing the chlorine content and turning it into chloride form. So, the best shower filter can contain the combination of the two materials.
Carbonate Removal: Hard water contains the carbonate and the bicarbonate forms of calcium and magnesium. Sedimentation and filtering are the principal methods of their removal when they are in the microscopic structure. Activated carbon in the bamboo charcoal can eliminate the maximum volume of these compounds. The micron size elements get removed by the KDF layer. The efficiency of the active shower filter can be 99.99% in the carbonate and bicarbonate removal.
Chemical Removal: The hard water contains several volatile chemicals like the sulfides, benzene, oxides, sulfates, etc. KDF is the layer which removes them by more than 99.99%.
Fluoride Removal: Fluoride is one of the hardness factors that are hard to remove by the standard methods and filers. It is due to the highly dissolving character. Hence, the shower filter construction will be different for the fluoride removers. The next section describes the design and functionality of the unique shower filters.
