Some studies have shown that: MORE CHLORINE IS ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN DURING THE AVERAGE SHOWER THAN BY DRINKING TWO QUARTS OF WATER.

According to the manufacturer, this showerhead filter will remove up to 95% of water-borne chlorine. It will filter up to 4,500 gallons (up to almost 250 seven-minute showers at 2.5 gals./minute if you have good pressure and "average" water quality). With this product we have gotten a number of "thanks" but also a larger dissatisfaction rate than any other product that we offer. Please do not order this product if you have low water pressure or very bad water conditions.
It attaches directly to your existing 1/2" shower arm (not included) and doesn't lower the height of your current showerhead. A replacement cartridge is also available.

Chlorine acts as a disinfectant, but it also can cause
flaky scalp, dry hair and irritated eyes and skin.
The water from your shower can be filled with chlorine,
hydrogen sulfide, and other inorganic contaminants that can
be absorbed by your body every time that you shower.
Breathing chlorine (while taking a shower) has been said to
be worse for people's health than drinking water with chlorine in it. If you have very bad (high chlorine, etc) water we recommend a W10 whole house filter housing with a jumbo carbon filter in it. If that is not possible in your situation then the next best thing is this great shower filter.

"I have low water pressure, will this shower filter reduce my pressure?"

All water filters reduce pressures and this shower filter definitely will reduce your pressure (because the filter housing is 1/2" rather than a 1" whole house filter). Also, a filter like this, in order to work, must have some resistance. No resistance (loss of pressure) and you have a filter that isn't working. If your supply pressure is marginal (less than 45psi at the showerhead) then these showerhead filters are not for you. If you have standard 45 or more psi then you won't have as much of a problem. But please understand that these filters will restrict and reduce your shower pressure. You might consider a whole house water filtration system if you have very dirty water.

"What has been the feedback from your customers about these filters?"
People seem to love them or hate them. The return rate was high at first until we started to warn our potential customers about the pressure loss (see above). Some customers tend to over tighten them, and since these are made out of plastic; they can crack. If you can live with loss of volume and pressure, and if you have some mechanical skills, then these filters should work nicely for you. We prefer to discourage those that aren't sure about either.

"How long can I expect the filters to last?"
The manufacturer says that it will last 3-6 months. It really depends on usage and the quality of your water. We think "ideally" that the cartridge could last up to 6 months if only one person uses the shower and their water doesn't have a lot of chlorine in it. We can honestly envision that with high chlorine and/or a number of people using the shower that you might have to change the cartridge as frequently as every 1-2 months. You might also want to look at the many other shower water filters that we offer.

"I love soft water on my hair and body. Will this filter help soften my water?"
We wish it could; but it won't. To soften water one must remove calcium, etc. and no filter will do that. This is done through ion exchange which only a water softener can accomplish.
