Aquasana AQ-4105 Showerhead Filter System with Handheld Wand, White

I bought this 3 weeks ago & I'm very impressed. No more heavy chlorine smell to my showering water: the whole family can now safely bathe in clean, filtered water without added chemicals & it is simple to fit, with just an adjustable spanner. I'm on an anti candida plan & showering in non chlorinated water is vital. Plus, your skin & hair feel better: no more tightness & I am using less moisturisers as a result, plus less hair conditioner. And it's a great price from Amazon! HALF WHAT I HAVE FOUND ELSEWHERE.

This was the second filter that I have bought after purchasing and trying one a few months ago. It took a while to fit, including a trip to the DIY store, but once we had a male to female adaptor to allow us to fit the filter to the shower pipe as shown in the product picture it was quick to install. The filter and shower head are both cream in colour and not white, and the filter will reduce the flow of your shower, but in the grand scheme of things this means less water wasted whilst having a chlorine free shower. The shower head that comes with the product has 3 different settings and is a good design. I was going to purchase the filter without the shower head, but as there was not that much difference in price I bought the ones with the shower head. I think the shower head is worth the money, but if you have a shower hear with multiple settings already it may not be worth the extra cost. The difference in the smell of the water is amazing - now when I shower at someone else's house I really notice the smell of chemicals coming from the water. If we hadn't have had to make a special journey out to buy the adaptors (both showers required these to fit the filter), then I would have given the product 5 stars.

Still not fitted - life never goes as you think, does it. Seems fine from what I can see, though.

what is ppm before and after filtering? what is % of contaminants removed (pharmaceuticals, chlorine, fluoride, metals, pesticides, vocs, plastics, synthetic vitamins) thank you

Not easy to install but once running, it can make some difference to the quality of your shower.

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

This saved my skin and hair, thank you! Such a rare gem!

Super!

I love this Shower! It has been doing amazing things for my sensitive skin. It removed pretty much completely the chlorine smell of the water (and I assume by that the chlorine was removed) and I can feel the difference in my skin and in my hair. My skin is not breaking out and dehydrated anymore and I feel my hair much more healthy now. The handheld is a bonus, but it could be more stable in the shower (when you touch the hose the shower head moves usually). Thinking about it now maybe I should have chosen the chrome one. Installation was super simple but I had to use a lot of thread seal (waterproof) tape to stop the leakages but that was enough to stop it.

We live in southern California and the water here is more solid than liquid with all the lime and calcium. A show head can get clogged in a week or so. My wife wanted this because her hair is drying out and breaking and her scalp is flaking and she was freaking out forcing me to get spring water delivered so she could rinse her hair. We purchased this one and also purchased the Sprite high output as well, The Sprite was about 1/3 cheaper but it required everything to be taken apart. The Sprite also lasts about twice as long, BUT since the Sprite is an Inline filter it mush be taken off at least one side on the shower head or pipe and then the filter be taken apart and that can be a pain. Easy to scratch and took me soaking it in CLR to get it off. This Aquasana is about twice the cost of the Sprite High Output but. No disassembly, it is a simple change, no fighting the filter housing to get it off and it works marvelous. The water is much cleaner, a little softer even and my wife's hour is no longer breaking and he scalp has stopped flaking. The shower head is crap but the filter is a better choice as it is much much more user friendly. We have had it for a month with no reduction in its performance.
