Developed from the ground up, based on customer feedback

The Daily Essential+ (SFC500) is the latest generation of Aquabliss replacement cartridge, designed specifically for the Daily Revitalize+ and Daily Essential+ shower filters. Every detail – from the proprietary filtration system to the redesigned no-leak seals and increased media capacity – was shaped by feedback from real customers in real homes. Clear information, thoughtful design, real results.

Highly effective in hot and cold water

Using a multi-stage combination of calcium sulfite, redox media and activated carbon, the Daily Essential+ Shower Filter (SF500) helps to reduce chlorine, sediment, organic impurities and odors consistently, regardless of water temperature. For households where water quality is a genuine concern, this is the cartridge built for the job.

Designed with sensitive skin in mind

Chlorine and sediment in everyday shower water may contribute to dryness, irritation and a reactive scalp over time. The Daily Essential+ Shower Filter (SF500) is formulated with sensitive and eczema-prone skin in mind; fewer contaminants in your water mean a kinder routine for your skin and hair with regular use. Many customers with sensitive skin report a noticeable difference.

Kinder to hair, even with tougher water

Chlorine and sediment can leave hair feeling dull and harder to manage over time, especially where water quality is a genuine concern. With the Daily Essential+ Filter Cartridge (SFC500) in place, fewer of these contaminants reach your hair and scalp, supporting hair that feels healthier with regular use.

Easy to maintain, no tools needed

If flow starts to drop before your replacement is due, simply remove the filter, wipe away any buildup from the casing and reinstall. Straightforward maintenance shaped by real people, living modern lives. And when it's time for a full replacement, the process takes minutes: unscrew the filter housing, swap the cartridge, reassemble, and you're done.

3–6 months per cartridge. Simple to replace

Replace every 3–6 months for optimal performance, or sooner if your water contains particularly high levels of chlorine or sediment. With the Daily Essential+ Filter Cartridge (SFC500) in place, your filter works as hard as your routine demands.

Want Vitamin C and mineral infusion in the same cartridge? The Daily Revitalize+ Filter Cartridge (SFC400) fits the same housings with a double dose of Vitamin C and minerals.

Multi-stage filtration in 3 simple steps

We are transparent about what goes in your water so you can trust what comes out

01 Sediment Reduction

01 Sediment Reduction

Your water carries more than you might think. Before it reaches your skin, our first stage catches the particles you can't see, from coarse sand and limescale down to fine dust, so nothing unwanted makes it through to your shower.

This is where your water is truly transformed. Three powerful media work together to reduce chlorine, trihalomethanes (THMs), and other harsh chemicals, the things that leave your skin dry, your hair dull, and your nails brittle.

A final layer of care ensures nothing escapes back into your water. Whether the cartridge is running normally or reversed, this stage keeps every captured particle and media where it belongs, inside the filter, not on your skin.

Best filter on the market.

I have been running these shower filters for years and they truly make a noticeable improvement to the water quality. I live in an area with high chlorine and iron ore content in the water and these filters stomp it out. It also prevents staining of the shower from the high iron ore content in the water. I’m on city water and it’s not great. These filters are amazing! Note the picture of a 6 month run on an old filter (left) and a new one (right). Customer service is fast, friendly, and ensure customer satisfaction.

Nice filters

I like how these filters clean up my water so that I don't get itchy skin and there is a lot less soap scum that builds up in my shower. Note, however, that the filter housing, once it has been opened to replace the filter, requires plumbers tape around the center seam to keep it from leaking once it is closed again. The replacement instructions do not mention this. I think it would be nice if the filter housing were a bit higher quality.

I have using Aquabliss filters for a few years, I'm glad I upgraded to this filter! In my experience can tell the difference. It has more layers of filtration I can tell the difference.

Love it

I definitely feel a difference on my skin and hair. I feel it’s a fair price for the unit as well as the refill cartridges. It was really simple to install.

Eczema saver

Moved into a new house and started getting rashes on my chest and my eyelids. Thought it was a fungus but no antifungal would help. My son mentioned that the water smelled like chlorine at our new house and so I thought I might as well try this filter after months of itching. It worked immediately my rash cleared up immediately. Turns out my eczema is sensitive to chlorine. Aquabliss saved the day for me. I did notice immediately the week that I needed to replace the filter too. I started getting itchy again so I’ve been using this for six months now I have gone through a couple. I can genuinely recommend this product.

My skin feels softer and less irritated than bef9re Aquabliss Daily Essentials. I have sensitive skin and was really suffering with the water quality in my building. I have had a filter on my tap for a long time. I should have purchased this filter sooner.

The filter has really helped!

My city has very hard water. Having sensitive skin and feeling the mineral deposits on my hair, I started looking for an alternative. I don't like the way those salt water filters leave a slick feeling on your skin. My next step? Aquabliss. I purchased the heavy duty filter. It was easy to attach to my shower, and I like the way it leaves my hair and skin feeling.

This filter works good, allowing good flow along with filtering what needs to be filtered. Just need to remember to change so you don't experience reduced flow by dirty filter.

Game changer for rented apartments with sediment in water

I bought this filter to get cleaner water for my showers after a major surgery. I'm happy to say that I have had no issues with sediment in my water since adding this. I did need to get an adjustable shower arm because this unit is quite big and made my shower head too low.

Worth it for skin itchiness!

We have hard water in California so I do everything I can to prevent skin dryness and these work wonderful for me. Change them every 2-3 months and def can notice when a change is due.

I love it

I wish I would’ve added a filter to my life years ago, my hair is curlier than I knew and im a hairdresser! The chlorine must’ve been messing with it. I live near the major fires in California and this makes me feel safer. Have been recommending aqua bliss to all of my clients. I personally have experienced zero issues with flow, 10/10 from me

SFC500 Daily Essential+ Filter Cartridge FAQs

The SFC400 and SFC500 are the newest generation of Aquabliss replacement cartridges, built with a proprietary filtration system designed for heavier-duty, more demanding water conditions. They're compatible with the Daily Revitalize+ (SF400) and Daily Essential+ (SF500) shower filter housings only, not the Daily Revitalize (SF100) or Daily Essential (SF220). The SFC100 and SFC220 cartridges use our original filtration formulation and are designed for the Daily Revitalize (SF100) and Daily Essential (SF220) filters instead, they're also cross-compatible with each other, so an SFC100 fits an SF220 housing and vice versa.

Both cartridges share the same core filtration, calcium sulfite, redox media and activated carbon, reducing chlorine, sediment and organic impurities, and both fit the same Daily Revitalize+ (SF400) and Daily Essential+ (SF500) housings interchangeably. Where they differ is the enrichment stage: the Daily Essential+ Filter Cartridge (SFC500) stops at filtration, while the Daily Revitalize+ Filter Cartridge (SFC400) adds Vitamin C ceramic beads, Tourmaline and Zeolite on top, infusing the water as it filters to support skin, hair and nail condition with regular use. If enrichment matters to you, the Daily Revitalize+ is the better fit. If you'd rather keep things simple and filtration-focused, the Daily Essential+ Filter Cartridge does the job without the extra infusion, and because both fit the same housing, switching between them later doesn't mean replacing your filter.

We recommend replacing the cartridge every 3–6 months, though the exact timing depends on your water quality, higher chlorine levels, heavier sediment or frequent daily use can all shorten that window. A drop in water flow, or the return of a chlorine smell, are both signs it's time for a fresh cartridge. Swapping it takes about two minutes, no tools required, just unscrew the old cartridge from your Daily Revitalize+ (SF400) or Daily Essential+ (SF500) housing and click the new one in.

The Daily Essential+ Filter Cartridge (SFC500) is built to reduce chlorine, not chloramine, it doesn't contain the Vitamin C media chloramine reduction needs. Calcium sulfite and activated carbon work well against chlorine, but chloramine (chlorine bonded with ammonia) is more chemically stable and needs a different reaction to break down, which is why only our Vitamin C-infused cartridges carry a chloramine claim. If you know your supply uses chloramine, the Daily Revitalize (SFC100) cartridge is the one we'd recommend, it's approved to reduce chloramine at low levels over a short period thanks to its Vitamin C filtration. For consistently high chloramine levels, a whole-house filter may offer more complete coverage.

The Daily Essential+ Filter Cartridge (SFC500) is compatible with the Daily Essential+ (SF500) and Daily Revitalize+ (SF400) shower filter housings only, it isn't sized to fit the Daily Essential (SF220) or Daily Revitalize (SF100). If you own an SF400 or SF500, the SFC400 cartridge (with Vitamin C, Tourmaline and Zeolite infusion) is also compatible, so you can choose either cartridge for the same housing depending on whether you want the infusion stage. Check the model number printed on your filter housing if you're not sure which one you have.

Rinse the new cartridge under warm water for about 60 seconds, then flip it and rinse again for another 60 seconds to flush out any loose carbon dust from transit. Unscrew the old cartridge from your Daily Revitalize+ (SF400) or Daily Essential+ (SF500) housing counterclockwise, then screw the new one in by hand, no tools required. Turn the water on slowly at first to check for leaks before returning to normal pressure. The whole swap takes about two minutes.
