Yes, Softer Skin and Silky Hair, are Guaranteed...
Most household water softeners replace the calcium and magnesium in your water with salt. This gives the water a slippery, almost slimy feel.
Calcium and magnesium do cause soap scum buildup in your shower stall and on you, but the biggest threat to your health and beauty in the shower is chlorine.
Chlorine is absorbed through your skin by direct contact, and through your lungs when it vaporizes into shower steam.
Chlorine also strips your skin and hair of natural protective oils that retain moisture, which gives you dry skin and brittle hair.
Shower filters that include KDF have a softening effect on your shower water, and they excel at removing chlorine.

What is KDF and how does it Work?
KDF-55 filter media is a patented, high purity alloy of copper and zinc. It eliminates contaminants from water using electrochemical oxidation-reduction, also known as redox potential.
The zinc has a negative charge, while the copper has a positive charge. The space between the copper and zinc becomes a tiny electrolytic cell, with the water and its contents acting as the electrolyte.
When contaminants pass through, heavy metals attach to the surface of the granules and are removed from the water.
Chlorine combines with alkaline minerals in the water and becomes a harmless, water-soluble chloried.
KDF also modifies the crystal structure of calcium carbonate, to reduce scale formation and give your shower water a slightly softer feel.
Does KDF Give Water that Soft & Slimy Feel?
No, the softening effect of KDF is more subtle than a salt based water softener.
Salt-based water softeners remove most of the alkaline minerals from your water, making the water more aggressive or reactive with everything it contacts.
KDF simply changes the structure of common hardness minerals to give your water a slightly softer feel...without the slimy texture.
