Afina A-01 Filtered Shower Head

The Afina A-01 Filtered Shower Head reduces chlorine levels to undetectable amounts, achieving over 99% reduction. Chlorine is commonly used in water treatment but can cause skin irritation and dryness.

Reduction of heavy metals is not specifically tested, but based on filter technology, an estimated reduction of around 40% is reasonable. Heavy metals can pose serious health risks if ingested.

No tests available for VOC reduction, but activated carbon filters typically reduce VOCs by about 30-50%. VOCs can contribute to various health issues.

No tests available for microplastics, but based on similar filter technologies, an estimated reduction of around 30% is possible. Microplastics can have harmful effects on health and the environment.

No specific data on chloramine reduction, but similar filters can reduce chloramine by approximately 20-40%. Chloramine can cause skin irritation and respiratory issues.

Fluoride is not filtered by the Afina A-01, which is common in many shower filters. Fluoride can affect dental health and overall well-being.

While specific reduction data is not provided, sediment is typically reduced significantly by shower filters, estimated at over 70%. Sediment can affect water clarity and quality.

No tests available for pharmaceuticals, but activated carbon filters may reduce them by about 20-40%. Pharmaceuticals in water can lead to health risks.

No specific data on microbiological reduction, but filters can generally reduce bacteria by around 30-50%. Microbiological contaminants can lead to infections.

No tests available for trihalomethanes, but similar filters may reduce them by about 20-40%. These compounds can form during chlorination and pose health risks.

PFAS are not effectively filtered by the Afina A-01. These 'forever chemicals' are linked to various health issues and are difficult to remove from water.

No tests available for pesticide reduction, but activated carbon filters may reduce them by about 20-40%. Pesticides can contaminate water supplies and affect health.

No tests available for herbicide reduction, but similar filters may reduce them by about 20-40%. Herbicides can pose risks to health and the environment.

Nitrates are not filtered by the Afina A-01. High levels can lead to serious health issues, particularly for infants.
