Frequently Asked Questions

Considering Clara...?

Is tap water really that bad for my hair and skin?

The reality of our water infrastructure is not spoken about enough. Beyond the high levels of Chlorine used for disinfection, your municipality water supplies are frequently laden with heavy metals (think stuff like Lead, Arsenic, and Copper) alongside agricultural runoff and chemical waste that leach through aging pipes. I don't think you want that touching your body, do you? Clara was designed as a sophisticated response to this environmental reality, providing a rigorous filtration point before these contaminants can ever make contact with your body.

What exactly happens to my skin and hair under contaminated water?

As the body’s largest organ, think of your skin like a sponge, which absorbs the water it's immersed in. Now when that water is filled with chemicals, it triggers a cascade of "beauty disruptors" — from premature aging and micro-inflammation to scalp irritation, chronic dryness, etc. Clara ensures the water you shower daily with is pure, removing the mineral film that otherwise blocks your expensive serums and allows your natural glow to be stifled by municipal waste.

I’m a renter. Is Clara permanent?

Not at all. She is the perfect long term guest. You can install her in minutes without a plumber and, when it’s time to move out, she twists right off to come with you — leaving no trace behind.

What skin types benefit the most from using Clara?

While she is a universal essential, Clara is particularly transformative for those with sensitive, reactive, or chronically dry skin. By removing harsh irritants, she allows the skin’s acid mantle to stabilize. Those struggling with "backne," scalp redness, or water-induced irritation will find her vital in cooling inflammation and restoring a balanced, healthy glow.

How often do I need to replace the filter?

To ensure your ritual remains at a spa like quality of purity, we require the cartridge to be swapped every 3 months. This ensures the filtration media remains at peak potency regardless of your local water conditions.

Is it easy to install Clara?

How does the installation work?

I. Preparation
Remove your existing shower head. We have even included a custom wrench to ensure this transition is effortless and protects your finishes.

II. Alignment
She arrives pre loaded with her filtration engine. You may unscrew her faceplate to ensure the cartridge is perfectly seated before her first use.

III. Integration
Apply the included tape to the threaded pipe for a watertight seal. Twist Clara on until snug, then use the wrench for a final, secure turn.

IV. The Outcome
Step into a shower freed from harsh chemicals. If you don't love Clara within 60 days, we will give you a refund.

So I'm convinced I need Clara, but can I do install it myself or do I need a plumber?

No professional assistance or specialized tools are required! Clara is designed for effortless integration, simply follow our instructions to install her in moments. If you require any guidance or have questions regarding your setup, our team is available to assist at support@feelclara.com.

Will she affect my water pressure?

No. In fact, she was specifically engineered to respect the ritual of a high-pressure shower. While lesser filters often restrict flow to compensate for poor media quality, her internal architecture allows for maximum contact time with the filtration elements without sacrificing velocity.

Will this fit on any shower?

Yes! The standard thread size for modern-day shower heads in the United States and Canada is 1/2-inch. As long as you have shower arm plumbing coming from your ceiling or your wall, you’ll be able to install your Clara filter.

A few notes on Clara

Will she make me spend longer in the shower?

In a word: Yes. When the water feels this pure and your skin feels this soft, the "five-minute rinse" becomes a distant memory. We officially apologize to your roommates, your partner, and your water bill for the extended shower concerts that are about to happen.

Is it okay if I talk to my Clara filter?

We actually encourage it. Clara is an exceptional listener, and she never interrupts (so polite right?).

What if I start liking my shower more than my bed?

It’s a common side effect of the Clara glow. While we can’t quite help you explain to your boss why you were late again, we can promise that the transition from your warm, filtered shower to your bed sheets will feel twice as luxurious. Just don't blame us for hitting snooze.
