Frequently Asked Questions

Is hard water safe to drink?

Yes. Hard water is perfectly safe to drink — it simply contains more dissolved minerals than soft water.

Will a filtered shower head soften my water?

A shower filter is not a full water softener, but it can reduce chlorine and impurities for a noticeably gentler shower experience.

Does it fit standard UK shower hoses?

Yes. RoyalTec shower heads use a universal G1/2 connection compatible with standard UK shower hoses.

How often should I replace the cartridge?

For the Vitamin C model, many UK users in hard water areas refresh the cartridge every few months depending on usage.

Can hard water cause dry skin or hair?

Minerals and chlorine in hard water can leave skin feeling tight and hair looking dull. A filtered shower head helps reduce these effects.

Section 02 — Why Replace

Why replace your filter cartridge?

Over time, your filter naturally becomes less effective as it is used regularly. Replacing it helps maintain consistent performance and water flow. There are a few signs that your cartridge may need replacing:

Cartridge becomes clear

The Vitamin C cartridge becomes fully clear — this is the visual indicator it has been used up.

Reduced water flow

You may notice reduced or less consistent water flow, indicating the filter is becoming partially restricted over time due to natural mineral buildup.

Less consistent feel

The shower may feel less consistent than when the cartridge was new.

These are all normal and simply mean it is time for a replacement.

Section 03 — In The Box

What's included in the 6-month refill pack?

This value pack includes everything you need to maintain your system for an extended period without frequent reordering.

Multiple Vitamin C replacement cartridges — 6-month supply depending on usage (6 cartridges).

Replacement mineral components.

Designed specifically for RoyalTec Vitamin C Shower Heads.

Section 04 — Lifespan

How long does it last?

Each cartridge lifespan depends on these factors:

Water usage frequency

How often the shower is used.

Local water hardness

Mineral content in your supply.

Shower duration & pressure

Longer, higher-pressure showers use more.

On average:

weeks — lifespan of each cartridge

months — approximate usage per pack

Section 05 — Easy Install

How to replace the cartridge

Replacing your filter takes less than 2 minutes:

Unscrew the shower head face.

Remove the used cartridge.

Insert the new Vitamin C cartridge, ensuring to “peel” the “peel me” sticker.

Reassemble securely.

Run water briefly before use.

No tools required.

Section 06 — Stay Consistent

Why regular replacement matters

Replacing your cartridge regularly helps ensure:

Consistent shower water performance

Stable water flow

Continued filtration effectiveness

A better overall shower experience

Over time, all filter media naturally becomes saturated, so replacement keeps performance consistent.
