Installation instructions for the Santé Ultimate Dual Shower Filter

Thank you for choosing Santé for Health. Please read all instructions and view the instruction video carefully before installation.

Recommended Tools: 

Wrench and rag (optional — only if additional tightening is needed beyond hand-tightening). 

Before You Begin: 

  • Orientation Matters: The metal center piece must be facing the right way for leak-free installation. 
        • The back side has two stickers — this side should face your shower wall
        • The front side (no stickers) should face outward toward you
  • Using a pre-filter? Install it on your shower pipe before installing the Ultimate Dual Shower Filter
  • Watch our installation video for extra guidance: https://santeforhealth.com/pages/dualultimateinstallation


Installation Steps:

 Step 1: Layout All Parts

  • Washers
  • Teflon Tape
  • Elbow Joint
  • Ultimate Dual Filter
  • Shower Head


Step 2: Insert Washers 

  • Place one thin washer into the female end of the metal center piece
  • Then, place one thick washer on top pf it in the same opening
      • Note: Most setups require one thin + one thick washer. We provide an extra thick washer in case your setup requires for a proper seal


Step 3: Attach the Elbow Joint

  • Wrap the threads of the elbow joint with Teflon tape, clockwise, 2-3 times max ensuring all threads are covered 
  • Screw the elbow into the female end of the metal center piece (the same female end where you inserted the washers) — not directly into the shower pipe.
  • Ensure the curve of the elbow faces upward, opposite the male end of the filter
  • Hand-tighten until snug 


Step 4: Attach the Shower Head

  • Wrap teflon tape clockwise 2-3 times around the male-threaded end of the metal center piece, making sure to cover all threads 
  • Once wrapped, screw on any standard 1/2” NPT shower head and hand-tighten until secure


Step 5: Prepare the Shower Pipe

  • Wrap Teflon tape clockwise 2-3 times around the shower pipe threads, covering all threads fully. 


Step 6: Mount the Filter

  • Screw the elbow (already attached to the filter) onto the shower pipe at a 90-degree angle
  • Only rotate the connection at the pipe — you don’t need to twist the entire filter body


Tips & Troubleshooting: 

  • Backwards installation check: If you can see the two stickers on the metal center piece, your filter is backwards
  • Leaks at the sides (white caps): Tighten the white caps by hand 
  • Leaks at connections: Make sure washers are seated properly and Teflon tape covers all threads 
  • Rainfall shower heads: You may omit the elbow joint for a better angle
