This Clever Shower Upgrade Is the Smartest Thing I’ve Done For My Bathroom In Years

For years, I lived with a broken shower. It wouldn’t even stay on unless I performed a series of tasks to rig it to work, including wrapping a towel around the tub faucet to keep the shower diverter pull lifted. (Yes, it was that bad.) When I finally decided enough was enough, I had the opportunity to try out the Shower Kit + Filter from Sproos. As someone with a small bathroom that could use additional storage, it sounded like a great fit. It wasn’t until I tried the kit firsthand that I realized it was perfect for me.

The Sproos Shower Kit + Filter streamlines the shower experience by putting everything you need within arm’s reach. With the kit, you get a handheld shower head and matching shower organizer with a slide bar that mounts directly on the wall instead of hanging from the shower arm. A standout element of the Sproos showerhead is its vibrant range of color options. In addition to black and white (Hand Shower only for the latter), it comes in pink, yellow, blue, green, red, and the limited-edition Lilac.

Equipped with twist-lock mounts, the slide bar is made from strong and durable anodized aluminum with a fingerprint-resistant matte finish. The soap dish and hand shower bracket are adjustable, giving you flexibility with placement, as are other accessories you can purchase separately, such as an anti-fog mirror, phone mount, or cup. The installation kit also includes a wrench to help you uninstall your old shower head.

I’ve been using the Sproos Shower Kit + Filter for a year and a half (since 2024). Going from an out-of-date shower head to a handheld version was, in itself, a significant improvement. The Sproos shower head has three spray settings (Monsoon, Jet, and Cloudburst) that are not only soothing during showers, but are also a great help when rinsing the tub after cleaning it and bathing my dogs. I’m super impressed with the adhesive used for the slider bar (Tesa), which has stayed put for the many months that it’s been stuck to my shower wall.

The Sproos filter takes less than 10 minutes to install and replace, and I’ve never had to deal with any mineral buildup or shower head clogs. Occasionally a nozzle will turn in a different direction due to the water jetting out of it, but that’s common among shower heads in general and is easy to set back in place. All in all, I’m extremely happy with my Sproos Shower Kit and highly recommend it to anyone — whether you’re a renter or homeowner.

• Easy installation: Despite the fact that I’ve assembled a lot of furniture and homewares, I still prefer a quick and easy install. The Sproos Shower Kit comes with clear instructions and all the supplies you need to set it up — no drilling required.
• Customization for your lifestyle: Although the Shower Kit comes with a soap dish and hand shower slider, there are additional accessories you can order to customize it further, including a phone mount. I opted for a cup and mirror, which makes it easy to store my razor, detangling brush, and more necessities directly in the shower.
• Improved water quality: This is my first time using a filter on my shower, and I’ve noticed the biggest difference in how my hair looks and feels on wash days. It’s softer for longer periods, there’s less breakage, and it just feels cleaner overall, thanks to the filtered water pumping through the shower head.

The Sproos filter should be replaced every 90 days. If purchased as part of your shower kit, you can save 20% (bringing the kit’s price down from $247 to $197.60) by opting in for a filter subscription that renews for $33 every three months. You can skip, pause, or cancel the subscription at any time.

If you ever need to relocate your shower kit, Sproos has a Moving Kit that allows you to uninstall and reinstall your slide bar. It includes a putty knife, scraper, new wall mounts, glue, and “everything else you need” to get the job done.

I’d recommend the Sproos Shower Kit + Filter to anyone who:

• Lives in a small space or has a tiny bathroom, including renters
• Has a shower stall with no bathtub
• Wants cleaner shower water for their hair and skin

If you’re all covered on bathroom organizers and simply want to upgrade your shower head, the Hand Shower + Filter is a great option. It even gives you a little more color availability with silver and gold metallic options.
