UBS Vitamin C Cartridge 5 Pc in 1 Pack for Vita-fresh Shower Filter, 8.82 Ounce

I was having the problem of feeling light-headed after taking hot showers so I decided to try and filter out the nasty chloramine my city puts in the water. Yes, this thing is made of plastic and isn't the strongest build quality, and yes you'll have to replace the filter every 2-4 weeks, but if you want to stop exposing yourself to toxic chloramine (which is at its worst when you inhale the hot steam in your shower) then this filter is a MUST. Buy it. Install it carefully. And you will not regret it! I also recommend doing as other reviewers have suggested and install a Captain Eco 5 Stage Shower Filter before the vitamin C filter. This two step setup is a little clunky and you might have to also install a shower arm extension, but your body will thank you for the extra effort. On a side note: my girlfriend immediately noticed that her hair and skin felt and looked better than it ever has and now always uses my shower instead of hers.

I’m 35 year old male and people always think I am a recent college grad, 10 years younger. My recent drivers license picture looks identical to the one I took in 2014. People ask me how, I always mention this product and Dr. Bronner’s organic soap. I put nothing else on my body except shampoo and conditioner, and have for over 10 years. Chlorine in water is very bad for you. It’s bad for your skin, your hair, and your lungs and heart and body as a whole. This is the real deal. It will filter much more chlorine than a standard activated carbon filter (think Brita but for your shower head), and will filter chloramines and other chlorinated compounds better, whereas activated carbon may not filter those at all.

Great simple product here. We live in a condo and can't filter the incoming water source so we put this on our shower heads mainly to neutralize the chlorine, but also for the potential health benefits of vitamin c. Since we've been using it, we don't smell the strong chlorine smell.Alos, my girlfriends hair was turning green from the chlorine and now is not. The only thing that I would point out, is that when you turn the shower off, the remaining water in the shower head drips out to the floor and the vitamin c is not turning our grout a darker color in that spot.

I have been using these for a couple of years, and they are a great filter for removing chlorine and chloramine from municipal water. Easy to install with the filter kit they sell. They work, because when we use these there is no chlorine smell from our water, even when our city shocks the water supply 2-3xs per year. We can smell the chlorine from our other faucets, but not from these filters. Our skin is also softer and less dry. Great stuff!

They work great. Much cheaper than my sonaki replacement ones but it’s the same thing. Def buy

2 weeks into using the first one of these cartridges it was evident that they are fragrance free... as my wife pointed it out. I took the cartridge out of the shower head handle and tried to pop off the top but realized it was glued on at the seam. No problem, used a sharp knife to go in the groove all around, about 1 mm deep and the top separated. Then it popped off. (I did the same on an unused cartridge and it looked like pure white ascorbic acid powder inside) I added about 20 drops of orange essential oil and mixed it with a straw, water and all. Now it smells great in the shower again. And all 5 cartridges are now refillable 🤓 For fragrance d-limonene works even better, mix 1:1 with polysorbate 20. Chemistry is cool.

If you have chlorine/chloramine in your water, this will make showering less painful. It doesn't filter 100% of the chlorine/chloramine, but it definitely helps.

I usually order the Sonaki brand, but it was out when I ordered the UBS Vitamin C Cartridge 5 pc. 1- The first cartridge had a hard time circulating the product inside the cartridge 2- My hair has been super frizzy since using two of the cartridges (I am using the same hair care products as I used with the Sonaki cartridges and am not taking any new medications) 3- After taking a shower, the next time I run the water through the shower faucet, the water initially runs BLUE. This never happened before. I now have to order the Sonaki cartridges (which seem to be available now) and waste the remaining four cartridges. I would not recommend this product.
