The Aquasana Shower Filter. Softer skin and hair in 1 week, guaranteed! A truly amazing product, offers dramatic health & cosmetic benefits... Its like showering in natural spring water. Recently voted Product Of The Year by Cosmetology Today Magazine... One of the most amazing products you'll ever own... The Aquasana Shower Filter has 2 seperate filter stages... One that takes out all the chlorine and balances the pH, the other filters out harmful VOCs that vaporize while showering and are unhealthful to inhale. Installs in seconds and provides naturally healthy, filtered water for showering. The healthiest most refreshing shower you'll ever have ever! Offers tremendous benefits to people with skin conditions and breathing disorders. The benefits are immediately noticeable and long lasting. It s Like Showering In Natural Spring Water Stage 1 removes chlorine and enhances pH balance with a natural copper/ zinc mineral media called KDF-55D. The second filtration stage uses a carbonized coconut shell media for the removal of synthetic chemicals and VOCs that vaporize and can be inhaled or absorbed through the skin potentially causing adverse health and cosmetic effects. The result is the healthiest, most refreshing shower experience you'll ever have... for only 21 a day! Anyone who has ever swam in a chlorinated pool knows how chlorine robs moisture from skin and hair. What most don't realize is that typically there is as much or more chlorine in your tap water as in most swimming pools. Chlorine strips the natural protective oils from skin and hair, causing excess dryness. Without the harsh influences of chlorine you ll notice significant cosmetic benefits... Softer skin & hair in a week or your money back! Also by removing chlorine and other chemicals found in tap water, you eliminate health risks related to inhalation and skin absorption of these chemicals... now known to be a significant source of exposure to harmful VOCs (volatile organic chemicals).

Summary: What a difference in my skin!
Comment: I installed the filter in less than 10 minutes, and I am not handy whatsoever. I have only used it for two days, but there is quite a difference in my skin and hair already. Much softer and feels really clean! So far, I'm very happy with this filter. Of note, my 0-ring was missing, and I called Aquasauna because there was a small drip from where it attaches to the pipe, and they are sending me out an 0-ring and say that will do the trick. It's sturdy and has several flow settings, with very good flow. I recommend it, and only wish I had gotten one sooner. Now to find a good drinking water filter (I don't read good reviews on their drinking water filter), so looking elsewhere for that. But, the shower filter is terrific! My skin and hair are much better off without chlorine, and my itchy dry skin is improving quickly.

Summary: Not a good filter
Comment: My wife and I bought an Aquasana water filtering system a few months ago and I must say that it has not been a good experience. In fact since then I have decided to avoid anything from Aquasana. The device is not well made. Changing the filters is very difficult because the plastic nut that must be loosened and tightened is hard to grasp and tends to strip. After two filter changes our unit is useless because of this cheaply made soft plastic nut. Within a few weeks the unit leaks and the shut off valve stops working automatically. It sticks in the open position and must be closed manually. Recently we purchased another system from Puritec and have been much happier with it and with the service that the company provides.

Summary: filters well, but fragile it is
Comment: We've had this for almost 3 years now.
It seems to do pretty well at filtering out chlorine, judging by smell and how my skin/hair feel. It does make a difference in how both feel.
I'd love to see actual measurements of chlorine reduction over time.
There's two of us, we take a shower each almost everyday (a bit overkill in my mind, sorry mom) and the filter seems to last 3 to 4 months. But remember there's no quantitative analysis going on here.
The whole contraption, with the exception the connections, is plastic. Given the mechanical loads it undergoes it's not surprising that it breaks fairly easily. The housing has fractured on ours with no unusual force being encountered.
( Ahhh epoxy... Wasn't I trying to *reduce* my exposure to something or another? Oops. )
Taking apart a used filter reveals a simple case containing what I assume to be activated charcoal, exactly like you may buy for an aquarium filter with a little bit of paper or synthetic mesh I assume is for sediment. Only thing is that if you did buy this much charcoal from a pet store, it would cost about one tenth what a replacement filter cost.
All filters must reduce water flow to some degree. This filter does pretty well here, the reduction is minimal.
If you're looking to reduce the odor (at least) of chlorine and don't have kids, and don't mind the steep replacement filter costs, and promise not to ever overtighten anything, nor ever to drop, pull, or stare directly into its eyes then this is the filter for you!!
Not awful but not recommended.

Summary: Absolutely Amazing!
Comment: I moved to Atlanta about nine months ago with my husband who has eczema, and we both began to notice serious skin irritation from the water here. For me, it was a matter of some discomfort, as well as developing dandruff problems for the first time in my life, but my husband's skin was going crazy. Finally after six months of suffering through this, I decided to buy him a shower filtration system for Valentine's Day. I wasn't sure what to expect, and I was really just hoping for any little change for the better.
That said, I was BLOWN AWAY by the enormous positive change in the quality of the water using this filter. The first time I used it, I came out of the shower and my skin felt like I had just spent half a day at a spa. I had been getting a blotchy red rash on my chest and back after showering before using this filter (probably from all the chlorine and other junk in the water), but the rash has completely gone away since we started using this filter. My husband also experienced tremendous relief from his eczema problems. Taking a shower feels so healthy now. We've been using it for about a month and I can't imagine ever going back.
A few other reviewers mentioned problems with the weight or installation or the casing cracking on this filter. I didn't have any of these problems. Even with the old, shaky pipes in my house, this filter was incredibly easy to install. The entire process, including the carbon filter flush, took me about ten minutes. The only thing that surprised me was that the water initially comes out with quite a lot of pressure when doing the filter flush, so I had to quickly move the bucket I was using to catch the carbonated water farther down the tub than I had anticipated (obviously not a big deal).
This filter is one of the best purchases I've ever made; although I haven't tried other models, if you want something that definitely works, this is what you're looking for.
