Abstract: A fixed shower arm housing a filter media to remove contaminants, particulates and additives from the water flowing through the filtered shower arm and through an attached showerhead. The shower arm includes a housing attached to the outlet pipe and having a neck portion adapted to accommodate a hand-held or fixed showerhead. An adjustable escutcheon facilitates mounting of the housing to the outlet pipe while also creating an even flow into the housing and through the filter media. Water flows from the inlet pipe through the filter element to the shower neck.
