A note from our founder
I just wanted a better shower.
Stronger spray. No chlorine smell in the steam. And a filter I never had to think about.
So that’s what we made. A handheld that goes on in about a minute, by hand. A fresh filter every 10 days, delivered before you need it. And every study on this page linked, so you can check it yourself.
I hope it becomes the best few minutes of your day.

Will it fit my shower?
It’s a handheld that screws onto any standard ½” US shower hose by hand, with a washer in the box. Only have a fixed head? The hose and holder are in the box.

When am I charged for refills?
Your bundle is charged today, and your free first refill box comes with it. After that, refills are charged as they ship: $19.99 a month for 3 filters ($34.99 for 6 with 2 heads), or less on the 3-month and yearly plans. Your first paid refill ships about 60 days after your order.
How do I pause or cancel?
Anytime, from your account. Or email hello@fernrain.com and a person will do it for you.

Hose feels built to last
The braided hose is heavy and the fittings feel solid. Built properly.
Good, wish it came in brushed gold
Works exactly as described and the cartridge swap is easy. Only giving 4 because I wanted a gold finish.
Bought two for both bathrooms
The 2-head pack was the better deal. Kids noticed the difference before I said anything.
Fine, took a while to notice
Install was easy and pressure is good. Skin difference took me about three weeks to notice, so be patient.
Renter-friendly
Kept my landlord’s head in a drawer, will swap it back when I move. Took one minute.
Refills are fair
$19.99 a month for fresh filters is less than I paid for my last brand. Took off a star for the packaging.
My highlights stopped going brassy
Four weeks in and my blonde is holding. I’m not going back.
