OFFO 1.6m shower head and hose with 20-stage filter, 6 spray modes (matte black)
Product description
The essentials
If your shower water runs on the “hard” side, this OFFO filtered shower head and hose combo is aimed at making every rinse feel smoother. On paper, the big selling point is the 20-stage filter designed to remove chlorine, heavy metals and impurities associated with hard water. Add in 6 spray modes and a handheld design on a 1.6m hose, and it reads like a practical upgrade for anyone who’s trying to be a bit kinder to skin and hair.
It’s not a miracle device, though. Filter shower heads can only work with what your water supply delivers, and the real-world difference will depend quite a lot on your mains water quality and how often you change/refresh the filter (that info isn’t detailed here). Still, if you’re looking for a straightforward way to get filtered shower water without switching the whole plumbing, it’s a sensible category to shop.
What matters most day to day
The shower head is described as “high pressure” with a wider face (130 mm). The idea is that you get more coverage while you rinse, which is exactly what helps for quick shampoo rinses or when you want the shower spray to feel a touch more “effective” without standing there forever.
The filter adds another angle: instead of focusing purely on spray feel, it’s designed around water treatment. If you’ve noticed dry skin, rough patches after showers, or hair that feels more brittle than you’d like, filtered shower heads are one of the common approaches people try—this one tries to back that up with a multi-stage filter concept.
Spray control and handheld practicality
With 6 spray modes, there’s some flexibility depending on what you’re doing. The modes are switched via a button on the shower head, so you’re not fumbling with complicated controls while standing under water.
The handheld setup also makes day-to-day tasks easier. For example, imagine rinsing long hair: you can move the head to target the scalp area quickly, then spread the spray across the rest of your hair while you move. The 1.6m hose length is typically enough for standard UK bathroom setups, but if your shower is particularly awkwardly positioned, you may find yourself wishing for more reach.
Build and finish: what you’re buying under the hood
The shower head body is made from ABS with a multi-layer chrome plating, described as corrosion resistant and less prone to fading. That matters because shower fittings are constantly exposed to moisture and frequent contact.
The hose is where things get more “proper”. It’s described as having an outer tube of high-quality stainless steel, an inner PVC tube, and a precision-machined brass forged core (grade A). The marketing language here is a bit all-in, but the overall takeaway is: it’s built for heat resistance, anti-explosion (as stated), good sealing, leak resistance, and flexibility—so it shouldn’t feel flimsy.
One more small but welcome detail: the nozzles are anti-silicone and designed so you can scrape off residue with fingers or a cloth. Limescale and mineral deposits are a common frustration with shower heads, and being able to clear blockages without tools is a plus.
Installation and compatibility to check first
Installation is described as tool-free, and the connector is stated as G1/2, which is commonly used across many shower setups. That means it should suit most standard bathroom connections, but it still pays to double-check your existing shower hose connection type before ordering.
Also, the “no tools” approach is great if you’re a DIY minimalist. Still, if you’re replacing an older head/hose and your current connection is unusual or worn, you may need to sort out a better-fitting adapter than this listing suggests.

Is it worth it?
This is a good fit if you want a handheld shower head with multiple spray modes and you’re actively trying filtered water at the point of use—especially if you’re bothered by chlorine or hard-water effects like dryness or hair that feels less resilient after washing.
It might not be the best choice if you’re mainly chasing a specific high-performance, pressure-boost “wow” effect and you already have very strong water pressure, because “high pressure” is presented as a design aim rather than a guarantee. You may also want to skip it if your setup needs a different connector than G1/2, or if you’re not comfortable relying on a filter system where maintenance/replacement timing will matter.
If you’re weighing alternatives, consider how you want to solve the problem: a filtered head like this targets shower-water quality without changing plumbing, while non-filtered heads are often simpler but won’t address chlorine/heavy metals/hard-water impurities.
