Aquabliss SF220 Shower Filter vs Aquabliss SF500 Shower Filter

Both are Aquabliss multi-stage shower filters with universal ½" fittings, and both are well rated by owners. The SF500 is the heavier-duty pick: 44% more filtration media, upgraded no-leak seals, removable sediment guards and a 6-month cartridge, which suits hard or sediment-heavy water. The SF220 is the gentler daily filter, with a 6 to 8 month cartridge and added minerals, vitamin C and tourmaline, and owners report less itching and softer hair. Buy the SF500 for tough water; buy the SF220 for a longer cartridge and a softer, more cosmetic filter.

• Choose the SF220 if you want a longer-lasting cartridge, added minerals and vitamin C, and owner reports of calmer skin and softer hair.
• Choose the SF500 if your water is high in chlorine or sediment and you want more filtration media, better seals and removable sediment guards.
