Ten minutes. Every morning. Straight into your blood.
Chlorine goes into the water supply to kill things, and it works. But it reacts with organic matter in the pipes and forms compounds called trihalomethanes (THMs).
They're already in the water before it reaches your house.
In cold water they mostly stay there. In a hot shower they go airborne — and hot water pulls more of them through your skin at the same time.
You're standing in a closed room for ten minutes, breathing them in and absorbing them through the largest organ you have.
Drink them and your liver filters them first. Breathe them or absorb them and there's nothing in between.
Every morning. Since you moved in.
Meet the Pureguard two-stage filter system. One at the tap, one in the head.
Carbon works by adsorption, and adsorption needs mass and contact time. An in-head cartridge gives you about one second at full flow.
So the canister goes on the tap, holding several times the carbon of an in-head cartridge. Your hose screws onto it, your head stays where it is, and every drop passes through it first.
Activated carbon is what water treatment plants use to take chlorine and its by-products out of water. Most shower filters use KDF or calcium sulphite instead and stop there. Those change the chlorine you can smell into something you can't — the trihalomethanes are already there and stay there. Carbon is the only common media that traps them.

You've already tried everything else to optimize your testosterone.
The sleep. The lifting. Your diet, you filter what you drink, you don't take the default on anything.
What isn't on the list?
The numbers nobody showed you
Findings from published research on shower water:
Hotter water pulls measurably more through your skin than 95°F. Same water, same ten minutes, more of it in you.
The rise in blood chloroform after a ten-minute shower at 64 µg/L in the water. Double the concentration in the water, roughly double the level in your blood.
How much opening a window changes it. Cutting bathroom air levels by 75% moved blood concentration by almost nothing. The fan isn't the fix.
Chlorine forms four trihalomethanes in water. All four lowered testosterone in male rats.
Scientists measured these exact chemicals in their blood. The result: the more of it in a man’s blood, the lower his sperm count and the weaker his swimmers.

WHY THIS ISN'T THE $30 ONE
Most shower filters use KDF and calcium sulphite. Both work on chlorine. Neither traps what chlorine has already turned into before the water reached your house. Only carbon does that.

90 DAYS. THEN PULL THE FILTER OUT AND LOOK AT IT.
Run it for three months. Then unscrew the canister and take the cartridge out.
What you see on it is what you were breathing in and absorbing every morning before you fitted it.
If you don't think it was worth it, send the system back within 90 days of delivery and we'll refund you in full.
QUESTIONS? WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED
WILL IT FIT MY SHOWER?
WILL IT FIT MY SHOWER?
It fits standard US shower fittings and screws on by hand. The canister goes on the tap where your hose screws in, and PTFE tape is in the box for a clean seal.
ISN'T THIS THE SAME AS THE $30 ONE ON AMAZON?
ISN'T THIS THE SAME AS THE $30 ONE ON AMAZON?
No. Most cheap shower filters use KDF and calcium sulphite, which work on chlorine but don't trap what chlorine has already turned into. Carbon is the media that does, and this system has two stages of it.
DO I NEED A PLUMBER?
DO I NEED A PLUMBER?
No, and no tools either. Unscrew the hose from the tap, screw the canister on, screw the hose back onto the canister. Your showerhead stays where it is. About a minute.
WILL THE WATER PRESSURE DROP?
WILL THE WATER PRESSURE DROP?
No. The canister is sized for full shower flow and the head runs 392 nozzles, so pressure at the head goes up rather than down.
HOW OFTEN DO I REPLACE THE CARTRIDGES AND WHAT DO THEY COST?
HOW OFTEN DO I REPLACE THE CARTRIDGES AND WHAT DO THEY COST?
Around every three months with normal use. There are two — one for the canister, one for the head. Replacements are $25 each, available here.
