It can't currently ship to New York, Colorado, California or Washington because of state water flow regulations. If you're in one of those states, choose the Eco set (1.8 GPM, AB-FS100-ECO) at checkout. It's built to meet each of those states' flow-rate limits, so it ships everywhere the Standard set can't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat's in the set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAquabliss SF500 Daily Essential+ Shower Filter:\u003c\/strong\u003e our most heavy-duty shower filter, with 44% more filtration media and 2 removable sediment guards fitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAquabliss FS100 Daily Spa Shower Head:\u003c\/strong\u003e 42 self-cleaning nozzles, an extra-wide spray and an adjustable pivoting joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAquabliss Reusable Sediment Guards (SFPADS), 30-pack:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 fresh pairs for your SF500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFiltered water, a fuller spray, spares on hand\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach piece does one job well. Together, they cover your whole shower. The set is designed for households where water quality is a real concern, whether that's a chlorine smell, sediment-heavy water or skin that reacts easily. Nothing to piece together, nothing to think about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHow it fits together\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eShower arm, then filter, then shower head. Both the SF500 and FS100 use standard ½\" connections. Twist the filter onto your shower arm, twist the shower head onto the filter, and you're done. A universal adapter and thread seal tape are included. No tools, no plumber. If you can twist a jar lid, you can install it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMulti-stage filtration, every layer considered\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEvery layer in the SF500 Daily Essential+ serves a purpose.

The SF500 is formulated with sensitive and eczema-prone skin in mind. Fewer contaminants in your water means a kinder daily routine for your skin and scalp. Many customers with sensitive skin report feeling a noticeable difference with regular use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA fuller, more even shower\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe FS100 Daily Spa has an extra-wide spray pattern and an adjustable pivoting joint, so you can direct the stream exactly where you need it. Full coverage, no awkward angles, no cold spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOn the Standard set (2.5 GPM), 42 independent high-pressure channels push water through each nozzle for a strong, enveloping stream from the first turn of the shower. The Eco set (1.8 GPM) uses the same nozzle design at a lower flow rate to meet state limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHeavy-duty filtration shouldn't mean a weaker shower. The SF500 is designed to maintain strong water flow, so the shower head gets the water it needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSelf-cleaning nozzles, no descaling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMineral deposits and sediment buildup are among the most common causes of reduced shower pressure. The FS100's silicone nozzles are designed to self-clean with every use. No descaling, no scrubbing. Your flow stays consistent without you having to think about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSediment guards: the first line of filtration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe SF500 comes with 2 guards fitted, one at each end of the cartridge. They catch large suspended particles before they reach the filtration media inside, so every layer behind them can do its job. Without them, debris can clog the media and slow your flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe guards rinse clean and can be reused multiple times. When they reach the end of their life, the 30-pack gives you 15 fresh pairs, ready to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSigns it's time to rinse or replace\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIf your flow starts to feel lighter, that's your signal. It usually means the guards have done their job and need a rinse. If flow doesn't come back after rinsing, swap in a fresh pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHow to replace your sediment guards\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen the shower filter housing and remove the cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwist the end caps on each end of the cartridge counterclockwise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplace the sediment guard at each end of the cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReassemble the cartridge and place it back inside the filter housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew the filter back onto your shower arm, and you're done\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat does the set help reduce?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDepending on your local supply, the water coming through your shower can carry more than you'd expect. The SF500 combines several filtration media, each targeting a different type of impurity, to reduce them before they reach your skin and hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eChlorine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eChlorine is used to disinfect public water supplies, which means it's in your shower water too. You may not notice it until the water heats up and that familiar pool-like smell rises with the steam. The SF500 uses twice-strength calcium sulfite, redox media and coconut shell activated carbon to reduce chlorine in both hot and cold water. The aim isn't to undo water disinfection. It's to reduce how much chlorine reaches your skin and hair every time you shower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSediment, sand and fine particles\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNot every impurity is dissolved. Some are physical particles: sand, loose mineral deposits, dust and other sediment. The SF500 traps them in stages. The sediment guards catch the largest particles first, stainless steel mesh captures medium-sized particles, and PP cotton traps the finest sediment and dust. With 30 spare guards in the set, you're ready for heavier sediment loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTHMs and organic impurities\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhen chlorine reacts with naturally occurring organic matter in water, it can form compounds called trihalomethanes (THMs). Water suppliers monitor THM levels, but some can remain in treated water. Coconut shell activated carbon, a higher-grade source than standard carbon, helps reduce THMs, chlorine and other organic impurities and odors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIs this set right for your water?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe best setup isn't the one with the longest feature list. It's the one that matches your water. This set may be the right fit if:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour water has a noticeable chlorine smell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou have sediment-heavy water and want extra particle filtration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou're concerned about more than one type of impurity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou want a new shower head and filter in one step\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou'd like spare sediment guards on hand rather than reordering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNot sure what's in your water? Start with your local water-quality report or a water test. Knowing your main concern, whether that's chlorine, sediment, metals, hardness or something else, points you to the right filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe SF500 filters the water at your shower. It's designed to reduce specific impurities, not remove every dissolved mineral or solve every household water-quality issue. For those, a whole-house water softener or a drinking-water filtration system may be more appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBuilt to last\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBrass ball joint, durable chrome finish and upgraded no-leak seals, designed for long-term performance.
