Destroyer Shower Filter by Sante for Health
Reduce chlorine and protect your family from harmful shower contaminants
Perfect complement to your Berkey water system. Protects your family from chlorine exposure during showers using genuine KDF filtration media.
Why Berkey System Owners Need a Shower Filter
You invested in a Berkey system to filter your drinking water. But up to 50% of your daily chlorine exposure comes from showering, not drinking water. During hot showers, chlorine vaporizes and is inhaled directly into your lungs.
Chlorine Inhalation Risks
Medical studies link chlorine absorption and inhalation during showers with elevated risks for respiratory issues, asthma aggravation, and skin conditions like eczema.
Protects Skin and Hair
Chlorinated water causes dry, itchy skin, flaking scalp, and contributes to hair thinning and loss. Filtering your shower water can visibly improve skin and hair health within weeks.
Heavy Metal Protection
KDF media reduces iron, lead, mercury, nickel, chromium, and other dissolved metals commonly found in municipal and well water contaminants that carbon filters cannot address.
Family Peace of Mind
Protect your children, pregnant family members, and anyone with sensitive skin or respiratory conditions from daily chemical exposure. Safe for everyone, including kids and pets.

Reduces lead, mercury, nickel, chromium, and other dissolved metals that carbon filters cannot address
Iron
Helps prevent staining and addresses metallic taste, common in well water
Hydrogen Sulfide
Addresses rotten egg smell commonly found in well water systems
Organic Compounds
Reduces trihalomethanes, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, vinylidene chloride
Microorganisms
Controls algae and fungi growth without adding chemicals to your water
How KDF Filtration Technology Works
The Destroyer Shower Filter uses genuine KDF 55 and KDF 85 media, which are high-purity copper-zinc formulations that work through a natural redox (oxidation-reduction) process. This converts harmful substances into harmless ones without adding any chemicals to your water.
KDF 55 Media
Targets chlorine (up to 99% reduction), heavy metals including lead and mercury, arsenic, scale-forming minerals like calcium and magnesium, hydrogen sulfide, and controls microbial growth while maintaining effectiveness in hot water.
KDF 85 Media
Specifically formulated for iron reduction, hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell), manganese, additional heavy metals, and microorganism control. Ideal for well water applications where iron staining is common.
Commercial-Grade Performance
KDF technology is used in hospitals, laboratories, and commercial water treatment facilities because it maintains 99% chlorine reduction even at high temperatures. Unlike carbon filters that degrade in hot water, KDF media is recyclable, long-lasting, and engineered to perform under high heat and pressure.
Why the Destroyer Compares Favorably to Other Shower Filters
Many shower filters on the market use cheap, ineffective media that barely reduces chlorine. The Destroyer uses genuine KDF filtration, the standard trusted by medical facilities and laboratories for decades.
Real KDF vs Cheap Carbon
Most budget filters use activated carbon alone, which loses effectiveness quickly in hot water and cannot reduce heavy metals. Genuine KDF 55 and 85 maintains 99% chlorine reduction even at high temperatures and addresses over 40 contaminants that carbon filters miss entirely.
NSF Certified Performance
NSF/ANSI Standard 177 certification confirms this filter performs as claimed through independent laboratory testing. Many budget shower filters make big promises but skip certification.
25,000 Gallon Capacity
Budget filters claim 6,000-10,000 gallons but lose effectiveness long before that. The Destroyer's genuine KDF media delivers 25,000 gallons of consistent performance, or up to 12 months of filtered showers depending on usage.
Replaceable Cartridge Design
Cheap disposable shower filters must be thrown away entirely every 3-6 months. The Destroyer uses replaceable cartridges with recyclable KDF media, reducing waste and long-term costs.
Made in USA Quality
Manufactured domestically by Sante for Health with quality control standards that imported filters cannot match. Genuine KDF media sourced and processed in the United States.
Commercial-Grade Filtration
KDF technology is used in hospitals and laboratories because it works. Basic carbon filters target chlorine only. KDF reduces heavy metals, organic compounds, microorganisms, and odors.
The Berkey Standard: Just like your Berkey water system, this is not the cheapest option; it is the best option. When it comes to your family's health, genuine KDF filtration media and certified performance are necessities.
Installation and Replacement Instructions
Fits any standard 1/2" threaded connection. No plumber required.

1
Remove Existing Shower Head
Remove your existing shower head from the shower arm by turning counterclockwise. This can usually be done by hand. If it is on too tight, you may need a wrench. Peel away any old Teflon tape and clean the threads.

2
Wrap New Teflon Tape
Wrap the included Teflon tape tightly around the threads of your shower arm 2-3 times to create a snug, leak-free seal.

3
Attach Shower Filter and Head
Attach the shower filter by turning it clockwise onto the shower arm until secure. Then attach your shower head to the bottom of the filter. If extra tightening is needed, use a soft cloth to protect the finish while tightening gently with a wrench.

4
Flush the Filter
Run water through the filter for about 20 seconds before your first use to flush out any loose carbon particles. The water may appear slightly gray at first. This is normal. Once clear, your filter is ready to use.

Remove Shower Filter
First, remove the shower head from the shower filter by turning counterclockwise. Next, unscrew the shower filter from the shower arm by also turning counterclockwise. This can usually be done by hand, but you may need a wrench if your shower head or filter is on too tight.

Swap Filter Cartridges
Remove the old filter cartridge and put the new filter cartridge in its place. The mesh screen marks the top of each cartridge. The perforated side is the bottom. Insert it facing downward.
