Can Weddell Duo be used with any type of shower head?
Can Weddell Duo be used with any type of shower head?
Yes, Weddell Duo is designed to be compatible with most standard shower heads—as long as it can fit into your shower arm or water outlet pipe. Whether you have a fixed, handheld, or rainfall shower head, the Weddell Duo can be easily installed to provide clean, filtered water for your shower.
Will installing Weddell Duo affect water pressure?
Will installing Weddell Duo affect water pressure?
Weddell Duo is designed to have minimal impact on water pressure. Since our maximum Gallons Per Minute (GPM) rate is 2.8 GPM, which is much higher than typical shower heads (2.5 GPM or less), your overall water pressure will be determined not by Weddell Duo, but by your shower head.
However, as Weddell Duo reaches its full capacity, the accumulation of filtered impurities may slow down the water pressure. This is an indication that it's time to replace the filter cartridges to ensure optimal performance and maintain water pressure.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
Do I need any special tools for installation?
Nope, installing Weddell Duo is tool-free!
However, depending on how old your shower arm is, you may need a wrench to remove your existing shower head.

How often do I need to replace the filter cartridges?
How often do I need to replace the filter cartridges?
We recommend replacing the full set of Weddell Duo filter cartridges every 5–6 months under standard water conditions for a single user. Actual replacement timing can vary based on the number of people using the shower, your water quality, and household usage patterns.
If you have hard water, well water, or heavily contaminated water, we recommend our 3+1 replacement cartridge set. This set includes extra white sediment filters so you can replace them more frequently without needing to replace the black filter every time.
Signs that it’s time to replace your filters include:
- Reduced water pressure – this is the most reliable indicator
- Discoloration of the white filter – this is normal and expected, but not always a reason to replace
- Reaching the rated filtration capacity (8,000 gallons)
For 3+1 users:
- Replace the white sediment filter as needed (based on pressure and discoloration)
- Replace the black filter every 3 white filter changes
Regular replacement ensures your shower water remains clean and effective in reducing contaminants.
Why are my filters slowing down before the suggested lifespan?
Why are my filters slowing down before the suggested lifespan?
Factors like hard or highly contaminated tap water, heavy sediment, or frequent use can cause your filters to slow down sooner than expected. This is because the filters are capturing more material than typical municipal water, and as it works harder to remove contaminants, the available space for water to pass through becomes filled. While the water flow may slow, this doesn’t mean the filters are defective—it means it’s doing its job effectively. The more contaminants and materials it captures, the sooner it will need to be replaced.
