44% more filtration media. Built for tougher conditions.

The Daily Essential+ (SF500) is our most heavy-duty shower filter. Designed for households where water quality is a genuine concern – whether that's high chlorine levels, sediment-heavy water, or sensitivity to everyday contaminants – it works harder than a standard filter so you don't have to think about it. Upgraded no-leak seals, removable sediment guards and a universal adapter are all included.

Multi-stage filtration, every stage considered

Every layer in the Daily Essential+ serves a purpose. There are no fillers and no unnecessary complexity:

  • Sand filters block large sediments including loose mineral deposits
  • Ultra-fine stainless steel mesh captures medium-sized particles
  • Micro-porous PP cotton traps fine sediments, dust and impurities
  • Calcium sulfite helps to reduce chlorine in both hot and cold water
  • Redox media further helps to reduce chlorine and catches additional deposits
  • Activated carbon helps to reduce chlorine, THMs and organic impurities
  • PP cotton and stainless steel mesh prevents any filtered media from re-entering your water

Designed with sensitive skin in mind

Chlorine and sediment in everyday shower water may contribute to dry, irritated or reactive skin over time. The Daily Essential+ Shower Filter (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.

Maintains full water pressure

Heavy-duty filtration shouldn't mean a weaker shower. The Daily Essential+ (SF500) is designed to maintain full water flow throughout – consistent pressure for every shower.

Universal fit, installed in minutes

Standard ½" connections plus an included adapter means the Daily Essential+ fits all standard fixed, rain, handheld and combo shower heads. No tools, no plumber. If you can twist a jar lid, you can install it. Simple installation shaped by real people, living real lives.

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.

Redox Media

Activated Carbon

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.

Good... But leaks in the center

I've had it for a little over a month now. I like the ease of installation. But since day one, it has leaked through the center. I even tightened it as tight as I could, and it still leaks. It's a design flaw, which makes me wonder if the flow inside is also bypassing the filter.

No more itchy skin!

I’ve never had a filter on my shower so I am happy having one in both bathrooms. My skin is not itchy after a shower! The only drawback is that my hose on the shower wand sticks out more from the shower wall.

Leaking

Purchased 3 SF500 shower filters. 1 ok so far. Not being used that much. The 2 other used a lot and started leaking within 3 months. Filled out forms for either returning and money back, or replacing. This was done about a week ago, and haven’t heard anything from the company. Will not use this company ever again.

Easy to install, excellent customer service

I ordered (2) with 3 extra replacement filters since the hard water in the city makes itchy skin and hair loss. Very easy to install and customer service is as quick to respond to question.

I just feel so much better in my showers with the Aqua Bliss. Living in a city that I know has many chemicals in their water treatment system made my skin so much more dry!

Cheap

This product broke right after the warranty expired it’s not real metal it’s a cheap plastic inside that can snap right off of your shower spout barely used it changed the filter a couple times and went to reinstall it the end snapped clean off followed instructions no misuse no prior damage to the product and the company refused to help because the warranty expired in my opinion seems a little ironic it happened right after the warranty expired but needless to say I will not be recommending this product and will take my money elsewhere also the filter does not last 6 months if used regularly in a family home we also have a soft water system

Other uses

We bought a sf500 for our shower. We live at the base of Mt St Helen's and have the hardest water. It works exactly how we wanted it to. Today, we started filling our pool. The system we wanted to filter the water through failed. And then we remembered the shower filter. We took it out of the shower to give it a try. It ABSOLUTELY worked!!! The water filtering into our pool is clear. You may consider putting out a pool edition for all of us folks with hard water.

Excellent product! Works as advertised!

We have taken 6 or so showers since installing the filter. My girlfriend and I have noticed that it’s helping are skin from drying out like it did before and the feel and look of are hair. Over time I’m sure we will see a big difference. Filter attached very easily and quickly. No issues with with pressure decreasing. Also leak free. Really happy we purchased this product and just in general a filter. Are house we rent does not have a water softener so the water is very dry and lots of minerals in it.

Absolutely satisfied!!

I spend hundreds of dollars a year at the salon keeping my hair nice and blonde. Every time I went back for a touchup, my stylist would always say how crazy it was that my hair turned orange and brassy in such a short period of time every time. We concluded that it was the water, so I did my due diligence research and ordered myself the AquaBliss shower filter and detachable showerhead. I have been using it for about a month now. I just went back and I was for a touchup and the first thing she said was how well I retained the platinum and resist the brass. I let her know that I took her advice and purchased a showerhead filter. The water taste better it smells better it does not brass my hair out and I even let the kids bathe in my shower because of the quality of the water now. I would recommend This product hands-down 100% to anyone. It is stylish it is simple to attach it Works extremely well. Well worth the investment.

Amazing results; difficult to change filter

NYC has some of the hardest water in the country, but this shower filter made an immediate difference! My hair is no longer frizzy, and my skin is clearing up and becoming less flaky and dry. However, I gave it four stars because my filter pads looked like dirt after two weeks (See photos). I'm concerned that the filter won't last very long in severe hard water.

HOT TIP: If you're unable to unscrew the case to change the filter pads/filter, it's because the water pressure caused the filter to expand and press on the walls of the case. To fix this, take a hammer and GENTLY tap the sides, top, and bottom of the case before trying to unscrew the case. You'll probably need to repeat this process multiple times before it comes loose--it took me three tries. This was the only method that worked for me; the AquaBliss help page on this subject was useless.

Lifesaver!

This shower filter works wonders on our well water. We have two water softeners that are old and don’t work the greatest anymore. I couldn’t believe how much sediment this little filter picked up! The picture attached speaks for itself!

Definitely improved my very hard water

Item was delivered three days early! I have a deep private well and the water is very hard, leaves calcium deposits on everything.The SF500 filter does seem to have reduced the hardness to an acceptable level, as my faceand skin didnt have a dry patchy texture anymore when I got out of the shower! Where I moved from last year, I had a Culligan water softener, so I know what good water is SUPPOSED to feel like. I think this is the very affordable answer to my water quality issues. For the price I dont see how you can go wrong with the Aquabliss SF500. Also it is attractive, actually made my shower look better!

You can feel the difference immediately!!!

We have used Aquabliss filter in a rental home in Northern N.M. where we had WellWater(made me itch/dryskin). We moved back to our AZ home and have Hard chlorinated water. Both this upgraded filter. Absolutely feel the difference. I wish they made a kitchen sink filer and a washing machine filter. I recommend the Aquabliss Filter 100%. Now we also purchased the hand held shower sprayer- nice style but leaking in 3 place. We did the troubleshooting. We need a replacement. I have not yet called Aquabliss about it, as we just moved back as of 3/3/21 and deep cleaning and repairing the damage the previous tenant did.

What's in your water?

I purchased 2 AquaBliss SF500's, Master and Guest Showers, back last Fall, 2020. Immediately noticed a change in the shower water feel, hair, skin was much cleaner. Fast forward to my 1st filter change. Wow. What was captured is unbelievable. Attached are old filter and new filter. The orange liquid the poured put of the old filter confirmed, this product does its job. Outstanding product.

Rejuvia HD Multi-Stage Shower Filter SF500

I have very hard spring water. My skin was always dry. Because of the deposits, I had to wash my hair every other day, and I don’t use hair products.
I liked the multi stage filter and the fact it had 2 separate screens to block calcium and deposits.
My order arrived a week later which made me extremely happy. Install was easy. Since using this my skin is no longer dry like it was and I can go a week before washing my hair. Even after 5 days it still feels silky soft and smooth. Like I said, I don’t use any product on my hair. I highly recommend this product. It was absolutely the best purchase I have made. Thank you AquaBliss!! You can add me to your loyal fan base! Diana~

Great filter!

I love the filter and I can feel that our awful hard water is much softer and cleaner, however, I also ordered the detachable shower head to use for bathing my daughter but unfortunately the coil cover over the hose has already broken off. I would have given 5 stars if it weren’t for having to have a broken looking shower head with an exposed black hose that was a bit upsetting as it only stayed intact for about 2 months of use. I will say the installation was incredibly easy and quick and highly recommend the filter!

AWESOME FILTER!

This product is awesome. Took less than 5 min to install. It literally feels like a water softener. My roommate has eczema. I don't want to pretend like I know what it's like to have the condition but he says it's helping him a lot. I would recommend regardless the reason. Just nice to know, all that crap in tap water is taken out!

No more hair falling out!

Lately my hair has been shedding more than usual and after getting a water report from my local utility (was not good!), I decided to look into water filters. Whole home filters are rather pricey and not very DIY-able. So while I was searching I found these shower filters that I decided to try and stumbled across this one on amazon and decided to try it. It was super easy to install - it includes basically everything needs short of tools (a wrench). It feels very sturdy and solid and showering feels great. Can’t really comment on hair not falling out part yet but it definitely feels better. I recommend trying this filter out if you have bad water quality or a chlorine smell in your water too!

SF500 Daily Essential+ Shower Filter FAQs

The Daily Essential+ (SF500) contains 44% more filtration media than the Daily Essential (SF220) , along with removable sediment guards, a universal adapter and upgraded no-leak seals – making it the better choice for heavier-duty performance or more demanding water conditions.

No. The Daily Essential+ is designed to maintain full water flow throughout its filtration stages.

We recommend replacing the cartridge every 3–6 months. Chlorine levels in your area can affect how quickly the cartridge reaches the end of its lifespan. 

The Daily Essential+ (SF500) can reduce chloramine. If you know your supply uses chloramine rather than chlorine, this is our recommended filter. For consistently high chloramine levels, a whole-house filter may offer more complete coverage.

The Daily Essential+ (SF500) uses a standard ½" connection and includes a universal adapter, making it compatible with all standard fixed, rain, handheld and combo shower heads.

TDS meters are not the most effective way to measure chlorine or THM reduction. For accurate results, we recommend using a specialized chlorine colorimeter test.
