2.0 Carbon Shower Head Filter | Removes Chlorine, Heavy Metals, And More | Great For Dry Skin, Dry Hair, And More | NSF Certified (2.0 Carbon Refill Cartridge)

Easy to install and made an immediate difference in water quality. My skin and hair feel softer, and there’s noticeably less chlorine smell. Water pressure stayed strong, and the filter feels well made. Great upgrade if you want cleaner shower water.

I had an aquabliss filter for about 2 years but having to remove the entire shower structure to swap the filter was getting old which led to us just not replacing the filter and ending up with hard water again in a few months. My skin and hair were getting super dry and it was winter time so I knew I needed a solution. I'm in Raleigh NC and while our water is not the worst, you can smell, taste, and feel the hardness of the water. Def not the kind you can "drink from the tap". Came across this filter and while it is less visually appealing than the aquabliss, its easy filter swap won me over. Installation was super easy and you can install it whichever direction you prefer, filter to the left right or under the shower. Immediately I could tell a huge difference. The water no longer had a smell, I even tasted it (dont judge) and it had NO taste, it was like drinking spring water. My hair and skin immediately got softer and the oil returned to my face (no more spending a small fortune on moisturizing 3x a day). This thing is a miracle and I can say works BETTER than the aquabliss even though it is quite a bit uglier. Best of all, that white mineral stuff that builds up on the shower head and starts clogging the individual nozzles so you end up with water squirting in all directions is no longer happening (I was still getting some with the aquabliss). Getting one for all the showers in my house & for my parents.

Seems to be fine. The reason I give it less than five stars is because there is so little information that comes with it, one doesn’t really know if it’s been tested and exactly how long it can be expected to last in certain types of water. After ordering it, Amazon delivered it promptly and it was easy to install. I would have preferred to receive a unit that could have been inserted into the old container, which was still in very good condition after six months, cutting down on plastic pollution and waste so I would have to say that people Would have to choose to order this product in good faith that the sellers are telling the truth, that this is an effective water filter that will remove most pollutants found in tapwater.

Works as expected.

I have been very happy with this. I have bought 3 so far. Basically I change it out twice a year. My water has a lot of chlorine in it and it was burning my hair! Even my hairdresser said how burnt my hair seemed. I could tell a difference in the feel of the water right away. It is very easy to install and I have never had a leak (it comes with plumbers tape but I’ve never had to use it). No more burnt hair!

First you should take note of this warning on the product page below the description: "Frequently returned item Check the product details and customer reviews to learn more about this item." Second, I couldn't find a shower filter of ANY type that didn't have a review about the cartridge leaking. I chose this one because it is easiest to change the cartridge without having to disassemble the shower head. The design looks like a good design, but it is built with chrome plated plastic. The chromed housing that the filter connects to would maybe work better if it were made from metal and had a decent O-ring. As it is, the leak isn't all that much, but for the money ($60) it should not leak at all. The other connections from the supply pipe to the shower head is okay, but wrap the teflon tape around the threads more than the instructions say. The threads are a rather loose fit unless you do this. Admittedly those connections are not leaking. And the water pressure has dropped a bit. Not enough to ruin your shower, but it is detectable. I purchased this activated charcoal filter only, to help eliminate the perceived chlorine in the municipal water supply. All the other shower filters advertise 8 to 15 layered filter medium inside, and some claim to reduce hard water (calcium carbonate). These claims are false, and the other multiple layers are not necessary unless maybe you are drawing water from a well. The city water supplied to your house is already filtered and treated so it doesn't have any of the things these filters claim to remove, and therefor they are useless. I researched the water quality reports in my city and the only thing that could be in there that you'd want to filter out is chlorine, which is used by the city as a disinfectant. No shower filter removes calcium carbonate which is dissolved in water that results in hard water. As a matter of fact, my city water supply cannot remove it either. If you have hard water problems call Culligan and buy a whole-house water softening system which uses salt and other chemically compounds to counter the calcium carbonate to make your water soft, but it doesn't filter out calcium either. To summarize, none of these damned things work, but this particular product may filter some chlorine. And with a leaky device, how effective is the filtering? I don't know. And After a week of use I do not notice any difference in the feel of my hair and skin. It is annoying and you feel ripped-off when this brand new item is installed properly as per the instructions and then leak the first time you put water through it. Honestly I was skeptical of all of these shower filters, but my girlfriend was insistent that she wanted to try one to help with brittle hair and dry skin after showering. She is not happy with it either. I am just more frustrated because I had to install it. This company needs to rethink and redesign their product so that it NEVER leaks. Then the filtering subject is another thing entirely. I say skip it. You don't need one anyway. The advertising for these things makes you star to think there are bad things in your water. There are not bad things in the municipal water that meet state and federal standards coming to your home.

I've been using this shower filter system for about 2 years now, and it continues to impress me every time I replace the cartridge. The replacement always looks smaller than I expect, but it's powerful. As seen in my photos, the older filter being replaced clearly shows it's been at work. I live out in the country and use well water, which is very hard and often has a strong egg smell in the mornings. Since using this system, the smell has disappeared and my skin feels noticeably less dry compared to before. Installation is straightforward, and swapping out the filter when needed is quick and easy. Honestly, I don't plan on changing to another system anytime soon as this has made a real difference in my daily routine. As the old saying goes, if it's not broke don't fix it. I highly recommend this filter if you have hard water!

Non vale quello che costa...."sóla"

Installation video also available (at the time of writing this) Water feels great! Depending if you use a shower head with a hose you may need an extra washer so that the water doesn't leak. I tried 2 different ones and one hose was good with 1 and another needed 2.

Missing the swivel to attach to the water inlet

Great shower filter, but beware the price gouging from third party sellers and consider buying from the website directly. I didn't realize until it was already too late for me to return it.
