Do I need Filterbaby if I already have a water softener?

Yes, you definitely still need Filterbaby! Water softeners and filters serve different purposes. Water softeners mainly reduce hard minerals like calcium and magnesium. Filterbaby focuses on filtering common tap water contaminants and removes up to 99% of chlorine, chloramine, and other micro-contaminants. Many of our customers use Filterbaby alongside a water softener for more comprehensive water treatment.

Are Filterbaby products renter friendly?

Yes. All Filterbaby products are renter-friendly and install in just a few minutes using your existing shower or faucet. Some installations may require plumber’s tape, which can be removed with hot, soapy water. We recommend keeping any removed aerators or parts so they can be reinstalled when you move out.
