Product Description
Enjoy showering in filtered water with a simple attachment to your existing shower line - no tools necessary. The unique two-stage up-flow filter design combines coconut shell carbon and a KDF copper/zinc oxidation process to remove harsh chemicals including chlorine, lead, pesticides, hydrogen sulfides, and other volatile organic compounds from your tap water. The coconut shell carbon also enhances the taste and smell of your water. The benefits let you enjoy healthy, clean water while you shower giving you softer, more moisturized skin and shinier, healthier hair. Aquasana's shower filter lasts for 10,000 gallons or 6 months of shower use before needing replacement. Shower in water that's better than bottled water for as little as $0.25 cents per day. This product includes a shower filter and a premium massaging shower head with multiple settings.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Finally, after researching my options, I found out that they make shower head filters. DING DING!!! I was sooo excited. This unit kept coming up in my research in the top 10, mostly in the top five and above, over and over again. When it arrived, I asked him if I could put it in the shower. He said no. I asked if I could put it in the guest shower. He said YES! I installed it myself, it was very easy and quick, less than 10 minutes. The next morning when I used it, I could not believe the difference! My hair is so much softer, and no longer dry, my skin is softer, I don't have to use shower lotion, and extra strength lotion after showering. I love it so much, I told my boyfriend he cannot use it. I want the filter to last as long a possible. It's only for me!!
Pros:
It does not change the water pressure in any way
It is very easy and quick to install
It definitely changes the water, and makes it softer
Cons:
You cannot move the shower head around. Where ever it sprays, that's what you get. I would like to point mine downward a little, but it's not a deal breaker for me. I didn't know at the time that they made one with a wand. Some might like that model better. (That one would have been better for my dog too)
*** I just bought my 3rd replacement for this filter and I can say with all honesty all of them (the same replacement, this is the 3rd one already) lasted hardly 2 months, in less than two months my hair comes back to dreadlocks and breaks with white spots on the ends. Very sad it’s SO expensive for less than 2 months while being advertised as 6 months! The product does work the first 2 months as My hair immediately looks softer, detangled and the shedding stops a lot but after 2 months I can feel the hard water again and I don’t have a particularly hard water just the regular one in Chicago. And I repeat: it’s just me and my husband taking showers of 5 minutes each! If we had a bigger family or took longer showers we would be basically had filter for only 1 month. Very disappointed on the product they should make it WAY MORE AFFORDABLE SINCE IT DOESNT LAST EVEN HALF OF THE TIME FRAME THEY SAY.
_____________________
OK so I have been waiting since I bought this filter to write my honest review and I want to be VERY HONEST AND SPECIFIC/DETAILED ABOUT IT:
• I come from a city outside USA where we had nearly the best tap water there is, in my native country we have very large hair and until then I have never heard about hard water nor had any issue with it drying my skin and hair.
• So that being said, since I moved to USA my hair (naturally very abundant and voluminous) started to fall off on bunches!! it was SCARY and within months I had 8x times less than what I had before, I tried every treatment, oils etc etc thinking that maybe I hadn't had the nutrients I needed on my scalp, but it never stoped and got worst, for the first time I had DANDRUFF in a very thick layer AND THE WORST started to happen, my hair started to TANGLE together in a big ball of dreadlocks like a rastafarian, it was sooo dry and it didnt matter how much conditioner, treatments I put on it, or how much I combed it, when I did it just broke off and on the next day it would be all tangled again.
• SO THEN I started reading it was maybe because of the water, I realized it had never happened to me before and it maybe had something to do with it, so I bought TWO different filters from other brands and the 5 first showers I noticed a slight improvement but after that, my hair got worst like I was putting new harmful chemicals in addition on the ones that my hard water already had!
Those two filters I bought on amazon, the first one was by a brand cold MXBOLD and the other one was AQUABLISS, I am not going to say those are bad, but they definatelly didnt work for me and my specific hard water, the Aquabliss was the one that got my problem worst and I was afraid I was going to get bold on that rithm of sheding, I even saw some white hard residues starting to form over the shower head that later I read it was because of the calcium/hard water plus the filter elements they put inside and I tought this might be forming on my head as well.
• So then, I decided to buy this AQUASANA filter which I was doubting so much because of the price, but I am here to say that it was my best decision ever, from the very first shower my hair stoped shedding as it was doing before, like I used to shed more than 200 hairs on each shower and bunch of them each day, but with this filter it stopped! My scalp doesnt itch as much and MY HAIR STOPPED TANGLING LIKE RASTAS! That one for me was the most clear signal that the filter was working, my hair still tangles more than it does on my native country which has the best water but hey, at least it looks way more healthy and shiny that it has been since I came to USA, now people compliments me on my hair (something that didnt happen before) and I do feel better about it now for alllll the reasons I have wrote here.
So if you are a woman or a man that like me is looking desperately for a GOOD filter that actually works because of your hair shedding to an extreme, I suggest trying this one (also taking biotin pills and taking a look at some vitamins you might be lacking, like iron for example: lack of iron makes the hair fall)

Tuve que poner un filtro adicional de sarro y un suavizador de aguas también para poder tener mejor calidad de agua y dónde siente un gran cambio y la experiencia es bastante buena.
