FAQs

Is SHIO effective for desalinated water in the UAE?

Yes. SHIO is designed specifically for UAE desalinated water, which is already relatively soft but often highly alkaline and exposed to impurities from rooftop tanks and building pipes. Its two-stage filtration is adapted to these conditions, unlike conventional filters that focus on water softening, which is not required in the UAE.

 Will SHIO reduce my water pressure?

Absolutely not — the pressure feels even stronger. Laser-cut nozzles increase water speed and density, while effective filtration prevents buildup and clogging, allowing pressure to stay strong and consistent over time.

Is SHIO safe for children and sensitive skin?

Yes. SHIO uses physical filtration with activated carbon and vitamin C, without harsh chemicals. It is suitable for daily use by the whole family, including children and people with sensitive or reactive skin.

How often do I need to replace the filter?

The filter lasts up to 60 days with normal use in a typical household of three. Replacing it on time ensures filtration performance and water quality remain consistent.

Will SHIO soften my water?

UAE water does not require softening — it is already soft due to desalination (which you can see by the lack of residue when boiling tap water).

SHIO focuses instead on UAE-specific issues such as alkalinity, impurities, and water quality at the point of use.

What does SHIO remove from water?

Activated carbon helps reduce bacteria, particles, and impurities from tanks and pipes, while vitamin C helps balance alkalinity and neutralize excess chlorine, which can temporarily increase after water tank cleaning and maintenance.

Is it safe to use SHIO with hot water?

Yes. SHIO is quality-control tested to perform reliably across a wide temperature range, from 5°C to 90°C, without affecting water temperature or heating performance.

Do I need a handyman to install SHIO?

No. SHIO fits standard shower hoses and installs in minutes without tools, drilling, or professional help.

Has SHIO been tested?

Yes. SHIO undergoes quality control testing to ensure filtration performance, pressure consistency, and safe operation under real residential water conditions.
