The problem
Dry skin? Dull hair? Take a look at what you're showering with.
Your skin gets all of it
During a warm shower, large areas of your body come into contact with everything in the water – chlorine and metals included.
Old pipes, direct impact
Lead and copper abrasion from the building's pipework doesn't just end up in drinking water – it also runs over your skin and hair every morning.
Care products only fight the symptoms
Creams and treatments work after showering. The cause keeps flowing out of the shower head every day.
The solution
Filter where it touches your skin.
The Balance sits between the tap and the shower hose and treats your shower water in a single pass: coconut activated carbon, KDF and a sediment fleece remove unwanted substances, while DERMA and pH-Fix beads restore minerals and stability.
- 12 l/min flow rate at 3 bar – full shower power
- 5,000 l per cartridge – change every 6 months
- Compact: 122 × 69 mm, 400 g – also for concealed taps (with spacer)
What the Balance does for you
Chlorine and odours
Activated carbon adsorbs chlorine as well as odour and colour changes from the shower water.
Heavy metals such as lead and copper
In combination with activated carbon, KDF binds heavy metals such as lead and copper.
Gentle on skin and hair
Filtered, mineralised shower water – many customers report that their skin feels softer and their hair is smoother.
DERMA mineralisation
DERMA beads enrich the water with selenium, manganese, zinc, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium and potassium.
Stable pH value
pH-Fix beads stabilise the pH value of the shower water.
Do the maths
The cause, not the symptom – for under CHF 4 a month.

Frequently asked questions
Will the filter fit my shower?
Yes, on all taps with a standard ½-inch thread – simply screw it between the tap and the shower hose. For concealed taps, we recommend the optional spacer (from 35 mm wall clearance).
Will I lose water pressure?
The Balance is designed for 12 l/min at 3 bar – enough for full shower power in everyday use.
How quickly will I notice a difference?
That varies from person to person. Many customers report that their skin feels softer and their hair is smoother.
How often do I need to change the cartridge?
Every 6 months or after 5,000 litres. A Balance cartridge costs CHF 21.90 – or CHF 52.90 in a set of 3.
Does the filter remove limescale?
The Balance is not a descaler – but the pH-Fix beads can convert limescale into a less adhesive structure, and the desired minerals remain in the water. For how your skin feels, it is the combination of filtration, mineralisation and a stable pH value that counts.
I rent my home – will that work?
Yes. The filter is screwed on without tools and simply removed again when you move out – without leaving a trace.
Your skin showers too.
Every morning, every shower – give your water back its balance.
