FAQ
Installation & Compatibility
Simple setup for your nature-inspired shower transformation
Installing OPINE is as simple as taking a deep breath in a pine forest—natural and effortless. The entire process takes just 2–3 minutes and requires no tools or plumbing expertise. Simply unscrew your existing showerhead, wrap the included thread tape around your shower arm, and hand-tighten OPINE into place.
OPINE is designed to fit all standard US showers with the universal 1/2-inch thread connection. Whether you have a fixed mount, adjustable arm, rain shower, or handheld setup, OPINE seamlessly integrates into your existing plumbing configuration.
If you're unsure about compatibility, check your current showerhead connection—if it's a standard threaded connection (which 99% of US showers have), OPINE will fit perfectly. Our customer service team is also available to help with any specific questions about your shower setup.
Not at all. OPINE is engineered to maintain optimal water flow while providing superior filtration. Our precision-designed internal structure ensures that water pressure remains consistent, delivering the invigorating shower experience you expect while removing harmful contaminants.
Many customers actually report that their showers feel more refreshing with OPINE, as the filtered water allows their skin and hair to respond more naturally without the harsh effects of chlorine and heavy metals creating that artificial “slippery” feeling.
Absolutely not. OPINE installation is designed to be as natural as breathing forest air—completely intuitive and requiring no professional assistance. The hand-tightening mechanism ensures a secure, leak-free connection without over-tightening or damaging your plumbing. We believe that transforming your shower into a wellness ritual should be accessible to everyone, regardless of technical experience.
Absolutely! The installation is completely reversible and doesn't require any permanent modifications to your plumbing. Perfect for renters who want clean, filtered water without making permanent changes.
Filter Care & Maintenance
Keep your filter performing at its best
OPINE filters are designed to last 3 months of regular use, providing approximately 90 days of filtered shower experiences. This timing aligns with the natural rhythm of seasonal changes, making it easy to remember—just like nature’s own cycles of renewal.
The exact lifespan depends on your water quality and usage frequency, but most households find that 3 months provides optimal performance. You’ll notice when it’s time to replace the filter as the water may begin to have a slight chlorine scent or your skin and hair may feel less soft than usual.
SnapReplace™ is our patent-pending innovation that eliminates the frustration of traditional filter replacement. Instead of wrestling with stuck filters or needing tools, SnapReplace™ allows you to change filters in seconds with a simple, intuitive motion.
The technology ensures a perfect seal every time while making replacement so effortless that maintaining your shower filter becomes as natural as tending to a houseplant. It’s designed for the modern wellness-conscious individual who values both performance and convenience.
Replacement filters are $31 each, which works out to about $0.34 per shower for the average household. When you consider that a single spa facial treatment costs $100–200, the investment in daily filtered water becomes remarkably economical for your skin and hair health.
Our optional subscription service delivers fresh filters automatically every 3 months, ensuring you never run out. Subscribers also enjoy priority customer support and first access to new OPINE products and wellness resources.
Yes, we offer a convenient subscription service that delivers fresh filters to your door every 3 months. This ensures you maintain optimal water quality without having to remember replacement dates or worry about running out of filters.
The subscription is completely flexible—you can pause, modify, or cancel anytime. Many customers appreciate this hands-off approach to maintenance, allowing them to focus on enjoying their daily wellness ritual rather than managing logistics.
Your senses will guide you, just as they would in nature. When it’s time for a new filter, you may notice a slight return of chlorine scent in your shower water, or your skin and hair may feel less soft and moisturized after showering. These are gentle signals that your filter has completed its 3-month cycle of service and is ready for renewal.
Our subscription service eliminates the guesswork by automatically sending replacements based on the optimal 90-day schedule.
The OPINE Experience
Discover the benefits of filtered shower water
Within 2–4 weeks of using OPINE, most customers notice significantly softer, more hydrated skin and stronger, shinier hair. The removal of chlorine and heavy metals allows your skin’s natural moisture barrier to restore itself, while your hair regains its natural elasticity and luster.
Beyond the physical benefits, many users report that their shower becomes a more mindful, restorative experience. The knowledge that you’re bathing in pure, filtered water creates a sense of ritual and self-care that transforms your daily routine into a moment of wellness.
Those with sensitive skin conditions like eczema or dermatitis often see reduced irritation and flare-ups, while people with color-treated hair notice their color lasting longer and looking more vibrant.
The “Old Pine” philosophy draws inspiration from the ancient wisdom of forest bathing and the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku. Just as standing among old-growth pine trees promotes healing and mindfulness, OPINE transforms your shower into a sacred space of renewal and connection with nature’s pure essence.
We believe that your daily shower should be more than just getting clean—it should be a ritual of self-care that honors both your body and the natural world. Every drop of filtered water carries the intention of bringing you closer to the restorative power of pristine mountain springs and forest streams.
This philosophy recognizes that true wellness comes not just from removing harmful chemicals, but from creating moments of mindfulness and connection with nature’s wisdom in our daily lives.
Many customers with eczema, dermatitis, and sensitive skin conditions report significant improvement after switching to filtered water. By removing chlorine and heavy metals that can trigger inflammation and irritation, OPINE creates a gentler shower environment that allows your skin to heal and restore its natural balance.
Those dealing with acne often find that filtered water helps reduce breakouts by eliminating pore-clogging minerals and chemicals. The reduced irritation also means less scratching and rubbing, which can worsen existing skin conditions.
While we cannot make medical claims, the removal of known skin irritants from your shower water creates an environment where your skin’s natural healing processes can work more effectively. Always consult with your dermatologist about specific skin conditions and treatments.
We stand behind OPINE with a 60-day money-back guarantee because we’re confident you’ll experience the transformative benefits of filtered water. If for any reason you’re not completely satisfied, simply return your OPINE within 60 days for a full refund.
We also provide comprehensive customer support and a warranty on the SnapReplace™ mechanism, ensuring your investment in wellness is protected. Our goal is to make trying OPINE completely risk-free, so you can discover the difference that pure, filtered water makes in your daily self-care ritual.
Moderate water temperature (around 98–105°F) is ideal for maximizing the benefits of filtered water while protecting your skin and hair. Hot water opens your pores and hair cuticles, making the absence of harsh chemicals even more important, as your skin becomes more permeable to whatever is in the water.
OPINE’s KDF-55 filtration actually works more effectively at higher temperatures, unlike carbon filters that lose efficiency in hot water. This means you get optimal filtration regardless of your preferred shower temperature, allowing you to create your perfect wellness ritual while maintaining the protective benefits of clean water.
