It’s no secret that I color my hair. Actually, I’ve been highlighting my hair since I was in middle school. So many years later, I feel like I have some level of expertise when it comes to caring for my color treated hair. However, for the past year, my color has been a mess and my hair had become dry and brittle by the time I had to go back to the salon. I wasn’t the only one who noticed. My fantastic stylist could see and feel the changes in my hair’s texture and overall health, and had to take extra steps to correct my color. That’s when she texted me a link from Amazon and said “you need this shower water filter.”
Her recommendation: AquaBliss High Output Revitalizing Shower Filter. It’s affordable, has over 50,000 reviews, and as other commenters mentioned, it was incredibly easy to install.
So, I listened to my stylist and ordered the shower filter. When it arrived, I installed it in just a few minutes — and after using it for several months, I’m convinced it’s a game changer for my hair and skin. In fact, I just went back to have my roots touched up and my stylist said she could see and feel a difference in my hair! Plus, I can feel the difference in my skin as well.
If you’ve been looking into getting a shower water filter or you’re looking for ways to improve your hair and skin health (and protect your color), read on to get my honest review of the AquaBliss High Output Revitalizing Shower Filter.
Why Do I Need a Shower Water Filter?
Tap water often contains chlorine, heavy metals, and other impurities that can strip natural oils from your hair and skin, leading to dryness and dullness. These impurities can change the appearance of color treated hair and leave a film on your hair strands. While you may not see these impurities on your hair, you can see the effects.
Additionally, these chemicals can irritate sensitive skin and exacerbate conditions like eczema or acne.
A shower water filter removes these contaminants, resulting in softer hair, smoother skin, and protected color. While some filters can reduce the water pressure of the shower head, it’s important to find one that only causes minimal reductions.

How Does It Protect Color Treated Hair?
The AquaBliss High Output Revitalizing Shower Filter prevents chemicals in the water from stripping away the hair's natural oils and color molecules from the hair dye. It also helps to preserve moisture in your hair strands, which prevent color fading. It also helps maintain the vibrancy of your hair color for longer periods, so you won’t need to head to the salon as often.
Will It Work on My Existing Shower Head?
According to the brand, yes. The shower filter has a standard connection and should work with all types of shower heads. From a fixed or rain shower to handheld, the AquaBliss easily attaches. I actually installed a new shower head at the same time and had zero issues.

Is It Easy to Install?
So easy! From start to finish, I was done in about 15 minutes. The kit came with everything I needed and the instructions were easy to follow.
It even came with a QR code that helped me register my filter so I’ll get a reminder when it’s time to switch out the cartridges. Otherwise, I would never remember!
- Removes chlorine, heavy metals, and other impurities from the water so your hair and skin will feel softer and less dry
- Easy installation
- The filter cartridge typically lasts for several months before needing replacement
- Compatible with most standard shower systems — suitable for a wide range of households
- Might not be a good option for well water
- Although cartridge is easy to replace, some users may find the ongoing maintenance of changing cartridges to be a hassle
Bottom Line
If you are paying a lot of money for your hair color and you want to make sure that your color isn’t distorted or stripped because of chlorine, minerals, pH imbalance, and other impurities present in tap water, this water filter is a great option. While you can install a whole house water filter, this shower water filter is easy to install and I’ve been impressed with the overall results.
