AquaBlissHEAVY DUTY Shower Filter – Advanced 30x Filtration - Universal Multi-Stage Shower Head Filter Reduces Chemicals, Chlorine & Odors - Oil Rubbed Bronze (SF500)

I moved to a new place with pretty hard water (gives that squeaky clean feeling as the particles in the water cause friction) that's super chlorinated as well. My acne was breaking out for about 3 months... It was the worst condition that my skin has ever been in... and I couldn't figure out why. Finally, I realized it must've been the water. So I searched Amazon for a water filter and found this gem. It's affordable. And very easy to install, it came with instructions and even plumber's tape to help keep things secured. You just follow the guide and screw the parts onto your shower faucet. It hasn't affected the water pressure much in my opinion. Water still flows pretty steadily. I've had it installed for a bit over a month and gosh, my acne has improved so much. On a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being the worst acne that I had before getting this, I'm probably at a 4.5 now. All within 1 month. Amazing. I will keep continuing to get replacement filters. No complaints at all. Thanks Aqua Bliss! (:

I moved to a new city in Northern California from a different city in Northern California (with a new water source) three years ago and basically overnight developed terrible skin issues. For three years I have tried nearly everything to resolve the dry flaky itchy irritable skin on my legs and face to no avail. I honestly couldn’t believe how terrible my skin felt, always tight, itchy, ingrown hairs when I shaved my legs. Acne on my face. I felt like my skin stopped allowing my hair to grow through and basically became like a closed capsule over my body. Every follicle basically became an inflamed issue.Sorry to go into so much detail, but I was being driven mad by this change in my skin and searched for years for a fix- with different moisturizers, salicylic acid , ahas, body oils, you name it I tried it. I had basically given up hope and couldn’t figure out what happened to my skin. Then I stumbled upon a post online that mentioned how hard water can affect sensitive skin and that some people with skin issues might benefit from a water filter on their shower. So I figured what the hell. I had had a pimple here out there before. But this new situation left my body covered in boils and ingrown hairs and I was desperate for a solution.I bought this filter despite some negative reviews because I liked the price point. I’ve been using it for a week, and the install was not difficult. At first it leaked water, but I took it off and added more plumbers tape and it worked fine. No more leaks, water pressure is fine.When I tell you that instantly in my first shower I knew something was different. My shampoo soaped different, I barely need any compared to before to create a lather.My hair is so shiny and soft now. And after a few days, my skin started peeling and appears to be recovering from whatever was affecting me before. I felt like I molted my weird dry skin and my face is healing. I am no longer itchy, and I am not feeling like I have to slather myself in lotion.Long story short. If you are on your last hope and searching for something to try to help with your skin issues- it’s been life changing for me. I did go online and look at the water report for my city to make sure this filter took out the worst offenders in my water. I would highly recommend looking at your water report before deciding which filter to buy- just to make sure it will have the positive affect you desire.I highly recommend this filter and would honestly buy it again and again because my results are incredible.

It started out like almost everyone having the small leak from between the casings. I realized that when I took it apart to look inside, everything was dry.. including the big O ring that's supposed to keep the water from leaking out. Not thinking, I put it back together as it was. I took it apart again and lightly lubricated the O-Ring with MCT oil I have at home, it's food grade oil, not automotive oil. Dry O-Ring will bind as you turn and create small leak. Let the gaskets do the work, no Teflon tape. Water feels great on my skin, smells and tastes great too. It's my first time using this and hope to have great results.Update after a year of use...I subscribed to get filter replacement. The filter arrived today 1/15/2025. I went to replace the filter. I noticed some of the thread from the Heavy Duty casing had broken off and upon close inspection, there's a major crack on the case which rendered this unit useless. Minus 1 star. See pictures.
