Bought as a gift for a new home owner. Easy to install. Great water pressure. Skin is less dry and hair is soft again. They love it so much another is being ordered for the guest bath. Would recommend.

Water is lekker zacht (onthard) goed voor de huid. Douchekop houd wel een hoop druk tegen.

No. Love it.!! Works great.thx.

The scientific consensus is clear, hard water is not good for you. This Aquasana filter is good for you! That said, this filter does NOT spout water as pure as the day the Earth first formed. What it does is remove the vast majority (Aquasana cites 90%) of chlorine and other compounds you would rather not have on your skin or hair. You can truly feel the difference. I am positive there are other filtration systems that will remove more, but I also imagine for the vast majority of us this is exactly what we need.The Good:+Works very well.+Price-point is good.+Does NOT leak so long as it's installed properly (just needs to be tightened).+MADE IN THE USAThe Okay:=Filter does not last 6-months. Closer to 4-months if about 2 people are using it daily.This is a wonderful little filtration system that is affordable and works well. If you have sensitive skin you absolutely should invest in this. Even if you do not have particularly sensitive skin, this really helps keep your skin and hair clean from chemicals. With regards to leaking, there really is no problem -- just like all shower heads it needs to be properly inserted and tightened -- all straightforward. The filter does need to be replaced about every 4 months rather than 6, but the benefits are absolutely worth it.Bottom Line: if you want a better and more pleasant shower experience then this investment is 100% worth it.

UPDATE** Ok so its been HARDLY 2 months and my hair came back to being super dry and tangled like a whole big dreadlock, the filter lost ALL its properties in less than 2 months!! And my household is JUST MY HUSBAND AND ME, and we only take 5 minutes to shower! So what about bigger households with kids or more than 2 people?? I went back to spending 30 minuts or more detangling and my hair started to fall off again like crazy, I can see the efect on the filter is gone so I am sad it doesnt last what it promises it's supposed to last which is 6 months! So are we supposed to buy this every 2 months? If it was cheaper I would think about it but it is NOT. So sad because I really loved it and took the time to write the most large review I have written in my whole life.*** 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)

Got for my daughter who developed skin rash from hard water in her new flat . fitted this unit and rash has cleared up completely.

I bought the Aquasana Filter set that included the wand (not chrome set). For starters, I only purchased this filter six months ago and already the price has jumped $20. The replacement filter now costs the amount I paid for the whole set. I know manufacturing costs go up, Russian hackers scare Wall Street and threat of alien invasions all lead to higher prices, but that's a 40% spike in 6 months. Seems a little excessive to me, but maybe the CEO needed to pay for his new yacht, know knows?The unit is so easy to setup, it almost installs itself. The $104 installation charge is a total chicanery, please don't pay that, anyone... EVER. I'll come to your house and install it if you need me to. The only tool you will need is a wrench or plyers and you may not even need those. Unscrew your current shower head from the pipe and screw on the main section of the filter (minus the wand and head). I was able to finger tighten the filter collar screw onto the pipe without any seal leakage. Run the water through the filter until until the the water turns clear (it will be black at first as it cylces out the carbon). Next, tightened the wand collar onto the outlet spicket on the filter. And that's it, good to go.I was expecting the whole unit to be constructed out of cheap plastic, but in fact it seems to be pretty durable. Although the chrome ring on the head is not metal, but cheap "chrome" plastic. The clamp that holds the wand is tight and holds the wand securely. I've had other shower heads with wands that constantly bent forward, even after tightening the collar, which is why I was hesitant to purchase this version with the wand. But so far it works great. The head has a good pattern to it and is variably adjustable from "spray" to "massage". I've used some with preset patterns, so this is a welcome feature. The hose length is good enough to wash the dog in the bath, but not so cumbersome it gets in the way. One caveat with the hose is that it's somewhat stiff and won't relax after use. In the photo, you can see how it protrudes out some. One feature that benefits me is that the wand provides a few extra inches to the shower head height. Being 6'4", not being sprayed in the face by the shower head is a nice bonus, plus you don't have to worry about throwing out you back as you contort to wash your hair. The perils of height, sad indeed. I do not remove the wand often, so I cannot speak to the durability of the joint holding the wand, but it appears sturdy.Concerning the quality of the water, which is probably the main reason for purchase, I can only state my experience based on viewable and perceivable results. For starters, the taste of the water dramatically improved. It's city water that I use and before installing this shower head, it had a chocolatetly bitter start with metallic undertones and a chlorine finish. Now the water has a sweet, mild flavor. I'm no biologist, but I think that's an improvement. Granted, I suppose most people aren't bottleing water in the shower and selling it, but I think the taste should in some way speak to its quality. Another thing I noticed is that the white (and other color) build up that used to grace the shower walls is now gone. Also gone, is the black crud that grew on the bottom of the shower curtain. Here again, I haven't pulled out the micron microscope or fired up the spectrometer, but I think that means something has changed, for the good??? Maybe if you're trying to grow live cultures in your shower, you'd find this news disappointing. And for my final observance, The Female Test. Several women in the household have commented on their hair being being better in regards to "split ends", "more body" and several other words and phrases that are foreign to me. The consensus is that their hair feels better after the install of this water filter. My hair feels like... hair, honestly. Split ends sound painful, so I hope I never have to deal with that.Another feature that needs to be mentioned, is that if you purchase the wand, then do not like the function of it, you can mount a shower head directly onto the filter spicket. In fact, you could just use your old head, as it's the same thread pattern. Concerning the pricing and sets available, if I was currently buying one, I'd go with the chrome package. For a few dollars more, you get a metal hose that should last longer and "drape" better in the shower. Look at my photo to see how the rubber hose rests.So, I don't have any fancy chemistry sets to check the ratio of parasites to particles. I didn't break apart the filter to see what's inside, it could be sand for all I know. And I didn't consult the EPA for a side by side analysis of my water before and after. I just know that there's a difference from before and after. Was it worth $52 (my cost)? At the time, yes. Will I continue to shell out $100 a year to replace the filters, maybe. I plan to soon buy a house with well water and I'll see how that goes.One less star for the $20 price increase in less than 6 months.Happy showering.

No se podía adaptar a mi grifo, en la descripción del producto no lo deja claro. Lo tuve que devolver
