We've scoured the market, tested numerous products, and narrowed down the top five filtered shower heads that stand out for their quality, performance, and design. Our evaluation criteria focused on three key aspects: filtration efficiency (because filtered shower water is a must), water pressure (because a lacklustre shower is so last year), and aesthetic appeal (because your bathroom deserves to be insta-worthy).
Here's what we found...
Why We Chose Nuvera's Purifying Shower Head As The Best All-Round Option
$49.99
Nuvera is a game-changer in the world of water filtration. It features a 12-stage filter ensuring the removal of chlorine, heavy metals and harsh minerals from your shower water.
We didn't know what to expect with its claims of doubling water pressure. But after screwing it in place and turning the water on, the increased pressure was immediately apparent. It turned my (rather mundane) shower into something you would expect at a luxury hotel. Plus, I love the ability to switch between 3 spray modes, something we felt was missing in the other options.
The design is sleek and modern, adding a touch of elegance to your bathroom. And the ability to switch between a wall-mounted setup and a handheld shower is a nice touch too.
Nuvera is also the cheapest out of all the options and, at the time of writing, they are running a Buy One Get One Free offer and you get 6 replacement filters included for free.
For the features you get and the hard to beat price point, we feel this shower head is deserving of the top spot.

A Close Second: AquaHomeGroup Filtered Shower Head
$49.99
Securing our second spot is the AquaHomeGroup Filtered Shower Head, notable for its all-in-one design that combines both the shower head and filter. It effectively reduces chlorine and heavy metals, ensuring a cleaner shower experience.
Despite its proficiency in water filtration, it did not boost water pressure like the Nuvera shower head. In terms of aesthetics, it takes on a more practical appearance, which may not appeal to those looking for a sleek and stylish bathroom accessory. We also felt we were left a little short with the single spray mode.
The shower head stands out with its inclusion of Vitamin C and E cartridges, a bonus for those aiming to enhance their skin and hair health.
All in all, AquaHomeGroup delivers a solid performance in water purification, even if it means compromising on design, placing it comfortably at number two on our list.
Excellent Filtering Ability
Vitamin C & E Infusion
Only 1 Spray Mode
No Noticeable Difference In Pressure
Comes in at an affordable $49.99 with replacement filters costing $29.95 each
Securing A Respectable 3rd Place: eskiin Filtered Shower Head
$128
Coming in at 3rd place is the eskiin. It features the same excellent filter you find in the AquaHomeGroup, plus an aesthetic design (the best looking option in our opinion).
Where it falls short is the difficulty in changing the filters. While they are not too difficult to change (like the Jolie mentioned below), the casing of the shower head does tend to get stuck and require some 'persuasion'.
There is also the price point - eskiin comes in at a rather premium price point of $128, with replacement filters setting you back $33 a piece. For this price point, plus the fact you are stuck with one spray mode and the hassle of changing the filters, we give eskiin 3rd place.
Excellent Filtering Ability
Most aesthetic option (in our opinion)
No noticeable difference in pressure
Single spray mode
Filters can be difficult to swap out
Premium price point of $128 plus $33 per replacement filter
Coming In At 4th Place: Canopy Filtered Shower Head
$150
The Canopy Filtered Shower Head brings a modern twist to the realm of filtered shower heads. With a sleek design aimed at complementing contemporary bathrooms, it certainly catches the eye.
The shower head does a decent job of filtering out impurities, potentially offering a softer touch on the skin and hair. It's not the top performer on our list, but it’s a step in the right direction for those looking to try out a filtered shower experience.
But while its design is a highlight, it comes at the cost of water pressure, which might be a deal-breaker for some.
In essence, the Canopy Filtered Shower Head is an option to consider, particularly if aesthetics are a priority. However, it's worth noting that there are more powerful pressure options available.
Moderate filtering ability
Fresh contemporary styling
Reduced water pressure
Multiple spray modes
Premium price point of $150 plus $35 per replacement filter
And Finally, Number 5: The Jolie Filtered Shower Head
$150
Landing at the fifth position is the Jolie Filtered Shower Head, a stylish addition to any bathroom that’s garnered quite a bit of attention, especially among paid influencers. Its sleek design and promises of purer water have made it a popular choice, contributing to a cleaner shower experience.
While it does deliver on enhancing water quality, promoting healthier skin and hair, it falls short in the water pressure department, and the filters are notoriously difficult to change.
Despite its influencer hype and chic appearance, these practical drawbacks mean the Jolie Filtered Shower Head lands at number four on our list. Still, for those drawn to its aesthetic appeal, it remains a noteworthy option.
Moderate filtering ability
Chic appearance
Reduced water pressure
Single spray mode
Filters can be very difficult to change
Premium price point of $150 plus $38 per replacement filter
You have Jolie as #5 on your list but in your review of the Jolie you say it’s #4. Which is it? 4 or 5 ?
I did really like my Jolie, but the filters are impossible to change as the shower head becomes seized 😞
I got the Nuvera and I'm impressed so far!
Wasn’t impressed with Jolie. Found it nice for a week or two then it gives out, eventually blowing the whole shower head apart leaving it leaking and not spraying properly :( Would not recommend
Don’t go with Jolie they have zero customer service!!
