Hard water can't be changed.
The damage it does can.
Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi — India's hardest water cities. Every morning, chlorine, rust and sediment strip your hair and dry your skin. Here's what's actually happening — and what helps.
Hard water hits your hair and skin three ways
It's not just the minerals. India's municipal water adds chlorine on top — and ageing pipes add rust. Together, they're the real reason your hair keeps falling.
Calcium and magnesium coat hair strands, blocking moisture and triggering protein loss. Every shower strips a little more.
Municipal water adds chlorine to kill bacteria. On hard water, it oxidises hair, bleaches strands, and destroys skin's moisture barrier.
Old pipes shed rust particles and sediment. These clog scalp pores, cause inflammation, and are a direct, visible cause of hair fall.
Vitamin C neutralises what hard water can't fix itself
Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) reacts with chlorine on contact — a straightforward chemistry reaction. It also has antioxidant properties that reduce the oxidative stress hard water causes on hair and skin.

India's hardest water cities — and what's coming out of your pipe
High TDS is just the start. Every city adds chlorine at treatment. Every building's ageing pipes add rust. Here's what your shower water carries before NEMO.
- Neutralises chlorine on contact — Vitamin C chemistry, not marketing
- Removes rust, sediment and particulates visibly
- Multiple aroma options to choose from
- KC certified · Made in South Korea
- Fits standard Indian shower outlets · 2-minute install
- Device + refilter included — replace every 1–2 months
Not ready to switch your shower head?
Start with the Rust Removal Shower Filter — attaches in 2 minutes between your pipe and existing shower. No shower head change. Same filtration logic, without the Vitamin C. Or protect your kitchen tap too.
Attaches between pipe and your existing shower head. Removes rust, chlorine and sediment mechanically. Turns brown visibly — proof of what was in your water.
Same chlorine and rust in your kitchen water — affects the food you wash and cook with. Same Korean filtration, in a tap format.

"Mumbai pipes are old and my hair was falling in clumps every morning. 3 weeks with the Vitamin shower — noticeably less in the drain. I'd tried expensive shampoos and supplements for 2 years. Turns out it was the water."
Hair fall · Mumbai"Delhi water is genuinely terrible. The filter turned brown in less than 2 weeks — that was enough to convince me. My skin stopped feeling tight and itchy after showering."
Dry skin · Delhi"Started with the rust filter just to test. The brown filter after 3 weeks was proof enough — I've been bathing in rust. Upgraded to the Vitamin hand shower the next month. Bengaluru water is no joke."
Hair fall · BengaluruStraight answers
No. NEMO does not reduce TDS or change the mineral content of your water. No shower filter does — softening requires a dedicated softener that exchanges calcium and magnesium ions. What NEMO does — remove chlorine, rust and sediment — reduces the damage hard water causes, even if it doesn't fix the root cause.
For most people, yes — with a caveat. If your hair fall is caused purely by mineral buildup, NEMO will help partially but not completely. If it's caused by chlorine, rust or sediment (the case in most Indian cities), you'll likely see a noticeable difference in 2–4 weeks. Most customers in hard water cities report improvement because both causes are at play.
Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) reacts with chlorine and chloramine in a straightforward chemical reaction, neutralising it before it contacts your hair and skin. It also has antioxidant properties that reduce oxidative stress. This is established chemistry — it's why Vitamin C is used to dechlorinate pools and fish tanks.
The Rust Removal Shower Filter attaches to your existing shower — no head change. It filters mechanically: rust, sediment and residual chlorine, no Vitamin C. The Vitamin Hand Shower replaces your shower head, adds active Vitamin C neutralisation, and is the stronger choice for hard water cities. Both give you the visible brown-filter proof.
Skin dryness usually improves within the first week. Hair fall typically reduces noticeably in 2–4 weeks — hair grows slowly, so changes take time to show. The filter turning brown in your first 2–3 weeks is proof it's working, even before you feel it.
Yes. The Vitamin C filter neutralises chlorine rather than adding any chemical. Removing chlorine is actually beneficial for colour-treated hair, as chlorine is a primary cause of colour fade in hard water cities. The filter does not strip or affect colour.
