  1. Special Requirements: Ensure the filter you've chosen is compatible with your showerhead. Different brands and models might have slight variations, which might require different installation methods.
    The entire process will be divided into the following steps
  2. Safety and Hazards: Although the installation is relatively straightforward, safety should always come first. Avoid working in slippery conditions, make sure the shower is turned off during the process to prevent splashes that could lead to slips.
