Which Shower Filter Fits My Handheld Shower?
If your handheld showerhead unscrews from a flexible hose, you have two options. Choose Shower-Safe if you want a new spray head, or Inline-Safe if you want to keep the head you already have. Check the fitting before you order.
Replace your spray head or keep it?
Replace it with Shower-Safe
The SS-886 Chrome connects to a compatible shower hose in place of your current handheld spray head.
Keep it with Inline-Safe
The SS-883 Chrome fits between a compatible hose and your existing handheld spray head. Check both connections and allow for the extra length.

Three checks before ordering
- Can you remove the head? Turn the shower off and check where the hose meets the handheld head. If the connection is stuck or the hose is integrated into the head, send us a photo before ordering.
- Do the threads match? Check the fitting size and thread type against the product instructions. For an inline installation, check both ends of the filter. Similar-looking fittings can use different threads.
- Will it still fit the holder? An inline filter adds length at the hose connection. Check that the handle will still sit securely in its bracket and the hose can hang without kinking.
Which replacement cartridge will I need?
The standard SS-886 Chrome and SS-883 Chrome use the SS-2 Chrome cartridge. The SS-886 Plus and SS-883 Plus use SS-2 Plus. For a different finish or model, check the replacement filter guide.
Fixed, rain-style or unsure?
Send us a photo showing the head and where it connects to the hose, wall or ceiling. Include any model number you can find. Ask us to check your fitting.
