Shower filters at Bunnings: what it sells, what it costs, and when to buy online

Everything Bunnings lists

Bunnings doesn’t keep any shower filter in store: each one is a Special Order or comes from a Marketplace seller. This is everything bunnings.com.au listed on 24 October 2026.

Prices checked on bunnings.com.au on 24 October 2026. Each name links to its Bunnings listing, where you can order it for delivery or click and collect. Store returns need the item unused, with a receipt.

Check the stick count before you buy a 6-pack of refills. The scent-free, rose and multi-scent 6-packs say 6 sticks, but the lemon and eucalyptus 6-packs say 3 in their descriptions, at the same $141.

Marketplace items ship from the seller, and returns go through the seller, not Bunnings. For drinking water, Bunnings does sell filters, including Brita and Stefani water filter jugs and Stefani under-sink filters; our water filter guide says which suits your problem.

Does Bunnings sell a filtered shower head?

One, for the home: the Quoss Aroma Sense Q, $137 for the head or $172 as a hand shower with a hose and wall bracket, both Special Orders. Each comes with one lemon vitamin C stick and takes the same refills as the Quoss inline filter. Buy it if you want a new head anyway; buy the $128 inline filter if you like the head you have. The Catzon, Provecta and Vikus filters from Marketplace sellers aren’t heads: they screw on before your head, they ship from the seller, and their stage counts tell you nothing about chlorine (do shower filters work?).

Why buy a shower filter at Bunnings rather than online?

Returns. Bunnings takes unused items back for change of mind with a receipt, in any store, and that’s the best reason to buy the Quoss there. Supply isn’t an advantage: the refills are a Special Order too, so you wait for them like an online order.

When is Amazon the better place to buy a shower filter?

When your water is chlorinated, which is most of Australia, or you want it delivered. Bunnings lists no KDF filter, and KDF is the usual media for chlorine; the Philips 3-stage KDF filter is sold and shipped by Amazon Australia. If you want the Quoss, the same filter and its refills are on Amazon too, delivered to your door. We can’t show Amazon prices here; the Amazon button shows today’s price. Our best shower filters guide compares KDF, carbon and vitamin C filters beyond what Bunnings lists.

Does vitamin C work on chloramine?

In a bath, yes: San Francisco’s water utility found 1,000 mg of vitamin C cleared chloramine from a medium bathtub (SFPUC, archived). A shower filter gives the water only a moment of contact, and Quoss’s own listing claims chlorine reduction only. We haven’t measured chloramine at shower flow.

Filters we didn’t pick and why

Bunnings lists eight shower products. The Quoss inline filter and its refills are picks; the other six, and why not:

• Quoss Aroma Sense Q shower head ($137, Special Order) and the hose and bracket version ($172): the same vitamin C filtration as the $128 inline Quoss, so only worth it if you want a new head anyway.
• Catzon 15-stage showerhead filter ($33.98, Marketplace): its stage count tells you nothing about chlorine, it ships from the seller, and returns go through the seller, not Bunnings.
• Provecta 20-stage shower filter ($49.99, Marketplace): sold for “hard water”, but shower filters reduce chlorine; none removes the calcium and magnesium that make water hard. Seller returns only.
• Vikus 20-stage showerhead filter ($59.95, Marketplace): claims fluoride reduction but shows no certification for it. Seller returns only.
• Provecta travel shower head with filters ($45.99, Marketplace): a camping head, not a home filter.

Which shower filter does your city’s water need?

The disinfectant decides the media: KDF for chlorine, vitamin C for chloramine. Hardness is listed because three of the Bunnings Marketplace filters are sold for “hard water”, and none of them softens anything. The figures come from our city guides, which summarise each utility’s own reports.

Which shower filter should you buy?

The Quoss if your water is chloraminated, the Philips if it’s chlorinated. Chloramine water (Brisbane, Adelaide, western Melbourne; see shower filters for chloramine): buy the Quoss, from Bunnings if you want in-store returns or from Amazon if you want it delivered. Chlorine water (most of Australia): buy the Philips from Amazon. Not sure which you have? The table above says, and our city guides sum up each utility’s report.
