Unfiltered water contains harmful minerals and contaminants from dirty, rusty pipes that can damage your skin and hair. Over time, this can lead to weak hair follicles, scaly skin and even flare-ups of psoriasis and eczema.

Unfortunately, many cities use chlorine to disinfect tap water. Chlorine has a sterilizing effect due to its strong oxidizing power, but it also damages proteins, which are the main component of skin and hair. The breakdown of proteins in skin and hair increases the risk of skin diseases such as eczema and often causes problems such as itching, dandruff and hair loss.

Researchers at Boston University in the United States have found that volatile chemicals are absorbed through the lungs and skin when you shower with hot water. Inhaling fine spray in the shower is about six times more harmful than drinking the water!

Chlorine and copper contamination in household water can cause blonde hair to change color. This is because the iron in hard water has an oxidizing effect that results in brass-colored, copper-colored tones.

Our product uses a two-stage filtration system and highly concentrated vitamin C to remove various impurities and chlorine residues. Natural revitalizing ingredients leave skin and hair smooth and soft. The natural plant scent and pure vitamin C provide an additional boost of refreshment and relaxation while showering.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) removes chlorine by neutralizing chlorinated water. The chemical structure of vitamin C interacts with the chlorine in tap water to produce a mild, non-harmful hydrochloric acid. The result is slightly acidic, clean water that is ideal for your hair and skin.

Vitamin C's antioxidant effect protects damaged skin cells from UV rays and renews cells, slowing skin aging. But wait, there's more! Vitamin C is also:

• Improves hydration
• Reduces inflammation
• Helps form collagen and elastin

The amount of vitamin C in one filter is equivalent to 250 lemons! That's enough to purify your water and revitalize your skin and hair.

The gel inside the vitamin filter contains only natural ingredients. It consists of vitamin C, collagen, glycerin, natural essential oils and distilled water, held together in a matrix of xanthan gum. Xanthan gum is a natural sugar molecule often used as a thickening agent for food. Our research has shown that these ingredients are healthy for the human body. None of these ingredients are harmful to the human body.

FDA-approved high-performance filter used in water purifiers. It is made of fine, cotton-like fabric and filters down to 1/20 the thickness of a hair (3-5㎛).

We advise you to brush your teeth in the sink and not in the shower. Nevertheless, our vitamin gel is made from 100% plant-based raw materials, except for the flavoring agent. Flavoring agent is a by-product used in skin care blends. Since only a minimal amount is mixed with water, it won't cause any problems even if a small amount is swallowed. Note: don't swallow filtered water often or in large quantities. Unfortunately, sink faucet sizes are not internationally standardized, so we don't yet have a filter specifically for sinks. But don't worry, we plan to eventually address every faucet.

Oh yes! Get ready for the best water pressure you've ever experienced. Thanks to 200 micro-holes, our vitamin filter produces a water jet that is very strong yet silky and fine. What's more, our filters save water and water costs by an average of 35%!

Absolutely. The PICKI NIKI shower head is certified safe and can be used by all age groups, including pregnant women, and all skin types. For people who are sensitive to fragrances, we recommend our “Unscented” vitamin filter without any fragrance.

If you suffer from a skin condition, even a tiny amount of residual chlorine in tap water can worsen your symptoms. According to a study by Dr. Seki Taisuke of Toyama University in Japan, patients with eczema are actually more sensitive to residual chlorine than people without skin conditions.

ONE PERSON: Our vitamin filter should be changed every month, the sediment filter can be changed less often, every two to three months.

MORE THAN ONE PERSON: If more than one person uses the shower head, it will last less.

Note: The replacement cycle may vary depending on the temperature and amount of water used, the water quality in the home and the condition of the water pipes.

You can check the condition of the filter in the shower head using the indicators.

Also, shower heads should be kept upright when NOT in use.

This allows the water to flow out of the head and the vitamin gel lasts longer.

You're leaving town?

WE RECOMMEND:
Why not take it with you on your travels? This way you will always have clean water wherever you are! :D The ½ inch size is an international standard and fits on every shower hose! (Not to forget that many hotels also have very poor water pressure.)

Two examples: both in Paris and in Stockholm we had low pressure, chlorine smell and hard water. And these are just the problems you can see or smell!)

Otherwise, shower heads should be kept upright when they are NOT in use. This allows the water to flow out of the head and the vitamin gel lasts longer.

PICKI NIKI filters are easy to install and maintain. For more information, see the installation and maintenance page here.

The pre-installed water spray plate has 0.3 mm wide holes that drastically increase the water pressure. If you already have very strong water pressure, this could be too much. The second spray plate has larger holes of 0.35 mm. Therefore, you can choose the best option for your space. Keep the other one too, it will be very useful when traveling. Many hotels have poor water pressure.

Our sediment filters clean out foreign substances without ALWAYS leaving visible traces or discoloring (usually to brown due to rust particles). During the filtering process, small particles can clog the dense filter fiber. If the water pressure drops significantly, it is time to replace the sediment filter, even if it still looks “good”.

Find instructions here.

First, disconnect the shower head and hose and let the standing water drain out. Then, add two tablespoons of baking soda to a plastic bag or bowl with water and place the shower hose and head in the mixture. If there is still visible residue after an hour or less, scrub it off with a brush/toothbrush and rinse with water. If you want to give the sterilization an extra kick, add two tablespoons of vinegar to the mixture.
