Cobbe filtering hand shower, 124 × 124 mm, six modes, 1.5 m hose review

A filtering hand shower with a published panel size, a removable restrictor and a cartridge to change every three or four months — and a compatibility warning that has to be read first.

By Jean-Benoit Buisson

The bottom line The most equipped head in the hub and the only one with a subscription attached. Check what kind of shower you have before anything else.

What you are getting

A chrome ABS hand shower with a 124 × 124 mm panel, six modes on a paddle, silicone nozzles, a removable flow limiter, a 1.5 m anti-kink hose and a twenty-layer filter cartridge already fitted.

Read this line first

Not for use with electric showers. The maker states it, and it is not a caution — it is a compatibility limit. An electric shower heats water as it flows and is built around a known flow through it. If your shower has a box on the wall with a power switch, this is the wrong head.

The restrictor you can take out

Stated in the maker’s own notes: the flow limiter reduces pressure and can be removed for a stronger flow. Every other head in this hub builds its restriction in permanently. This one tells you it is there and how to change your mind about it.

What the filter is, and what this page will say about it

The cartridge is stated as twenty layers of KDF, calcium sulphite, activated carbon, vitamin C and mineral balls, and the maker states it removes residual chlorine and heavy metals — lead, mercury, nickel and chromium.

Those are the substances the manufacturer names. What follows from that for skin or hair is the manufacturer’s conclusion, and this site does not repeat a health claim as a finding. Filtration treats what is in the water; that is where the statement ends.

The running cost

A cartridge every three to four months, and the maker states that only its own replacement cartridges should be used. That is a genuine subscription attached to a thirty-euro head, and it should be counted before buying rather than discovered in the spring.

Availability

Compromises

The maker states it must NOT be used with an electric shower — read that before ordering
A cartridge every three to four months, from a single named source, is a running cost with no alternative

Questions people actually ask

What does the filter actually remove?

The maker states a twenty-layer cartridge of KDF, calcium sulphite, activated carbon, vitamin C and mineral balls, and says it removes residual chlorine and heavy metals — lead, mercury, nickel, chromium. Those are the substances the maker names. What that does for skin or hair is the maker's conclusion, and this page reports it as a claim rather than repeating it as a finding.

Why can it not be used with an electric shower?

The maker states it, and it should be treated as a hard limit rather than a caution. An electric shower heats water as it passes and depends on a known flow through it; a filtering head with its own restrictor changes that, and the appliance is not designed for it.
