Afina is an American product line of filtered shower heads founded by Ramon van Meer.[1][2] The company is headquartered in Austin, Texas.

History

van Meer, a Netherlands-born businessperson, founded Afina in October 2024,[citation needed] producing shower heads that filter out chlorine and other chemicals often found in tap water.[3]

The company is best known for its Afina A-01 shower head.[4]

In April 2025, van Meer publicly documented an experiment testing whether American consumers would pay more for a domestically manufactured product amid rising U.S.–China trade tariffs.[5][6] The experiment revealed no preference.[7]
