Quick Summary

Santevia introduces a refillable metal shower filter that differs from most by using a pourable filter mix instead of disposable cartridges. This filter removes chlorine from water and adds magnesium to enhance shower quality. The article notes a correction stating that the filter does not remove parasites or bacteria, and it specifies that the added mineral is magnesium, not zinc as initially reported.

Story summary

Santevia has introduced a new refillable metal shower filter that replaces traditional disposable cartridges with a filter mix poured directly into a casing attached to the showerhead. This mix removes chlorine from water but does not eliminate parasites or bacteria, contrary to initial claims. Additionally, instead of adding zinc as initially reported, it adds magnesium to the water. The correction was made on October 16, 2026, by TIME magazine after an error in their original story about the filter's capabilities.
