7 Shower Filters That'll Improve Your Water Quality

If you've been anywhere near the grooming or home improvement internet, you'll have seen these Jolie filtered shower heads. In fact, we've already written a love letter of this shower head, because it's that good. They are, first of all, very pretty to look at and not as much can be said for many of the other utilitarian-looking filters.

This one is pricey but it looks and acts high-end: the filter removes chlorine and heavy metals, and it's attached to a spa-like shower head. The filter is easy to replace and you can subscribe to replacement filters that come when it's time to swap for a new one.

Huge bonus? You can add a signature scent into the system for a real aromatherapy indulgence.
