WaterChef Premium Shower Filter System SF-7C (Chrome) - Deluxe Adjustable Wand, Advanced Filtration for Superior Chlorine Reduction - NSF/ANSI Certified: 96.6% of Chlorine, 10,000 Gal., USA

i've tried many shower filters with hand-held wands, and this is by far the very best system i've ever used. we had been using another filter system for many years, and found it continually clogged, eventually reducing the water flow to a trickle. i was motivated to try this system, and i am absolutely delighted with its performance so far. there's no chlorine smell or feel to the water, and i've found the different options with the shower head to be great. the water flow, after about a month, is terrific, with the understanding that all water filtering systems reduce flow somewhat--if you're looking for a shower blast, you won't get it from a system with a filter. i will say this is the best system i've ever tried, with an easy install that took only minutes. my wife and i are tremendously pleased with it, and recommend it.

WARNING! When first installing a new filter in this shower filter head take the shower head and point it as close to the drain as you can! When the filter is new, it has little pieces of carbon from the manufacturing process (the product tells you this) which needs to be rinsed out, but if you don't put it near the drain little black pieces of carbon will splash EVERYWHERE. ANYWAY, as a shower: it works great, better than my old, two headed shower that reduced the pressure to a trickle. THIS head has great pressure, and the different types of spray patterns are pretty decent, but I just prefer one standard pattern anyway. As a filter: hard to tell, but the water feels better! I live in an apartment that is pretty old, and the water always tasted off in my opinion. When I showered I would feel like something was left on my skin, and I could definitely feel it in my hair. But I feel much better with this filter, everything rinses off easy, but that might be because the pressure is better. This shower filter installed in no time at all. Ridiculously easy. No leaking parts like other reviewers have given, it holds up nicely. The shower head comes off and on the mount easy after a few times.

Makes me feel cleaner and my showers are more enjoyable.

I've had an Aquasana showerhead with chlorine filter for a number of years. The replacement filters cost close to $50 EACH, so I tend to put off replacing it. But that's not a good thing to do, because the filter stops removing chlorine, and bacteria can start growing on the filtration medium. My Aquasana's filter was way overdue for replacing, but I just didn't want to spend another $50. So I did my research and found this replacement. For $19 more than the cost of a replacement Aquasana filter, I got an entire, brand-new system. Plus I can get two replacement filters for my new shower system for less than the cost of an Aquasana filter, so I bought it. It arrived super fast and installed in 15 minutes (including carefully reading the instructions before installing). I had to use some plumber's tape (a very generous amount is included with this shower filter system) to keep it from leaking where it connected to the shower pipe, and I had to tighten that connection very very firmly (for me; I am sure a stronger person could have tightened it even more). But once I did that, no more leaks. It works great and the water pressure is higher than it ever was on my Aquasana. The filter replacement process looks like it is well-thought-out, so it is much easier than my Aquasana. Plus it is nice to shower in water that doesn't smell of chlorine. I would give this product a full five stars, but the way the whole filter housing swivels when I hold the showerhead to rinse off is a little disturbing. It's designed to do that, but I'm worried that it will eventually cause wear and tear where it connects to the shower pipe. Still, even if I have to replace the entire thing in a few years, I will still have saved a LOT of money over keeping the Aquasana.

This was very easy to install and I installed it on my own with no leaks. I liked the fact it came with the white tape thingy. I know what its for, but do not know the name. Anyway the reason why I only gave this product 3 stars is, because it doesn't have a lot of pressure. Another reason is the way they made the removal of the shower head. I didn't notice it in pictures and no one mentioned it in reviews. Usually the hook to remove the shower head is attached to the base not the shower head. So you have this chunk of metal and plastic on shower head when you want it hand held. It is advertised you can remove shower head but when you hook the plastic on shower head to base its not an easy on and off. (For the price this part should have been better made) You have to struggle with it. Which makes me not want to remove it. So I lost this feature. Besides the filter that was the reason i purchased it. The metal on this is not heavy and it looks very nice. Anyway because of the on off feature from the base and shower head I do not think I would purchase this again. And I haven't been able to see any differance in filtration because I only had it for one day. I will come back to that part in a week or so. So I had this for 3 days and as I said about the mount. The hook attached to base broke off and it's made of plastic. For the amount of money wasted this should have been made better. Now my shower head hangs in the tub. I will not purchase this again! Tried gluing it but I know It will no hold. So pissed. I am waiting to see if I will get a refund

Unfortunately we have really hard water at my apartment complex. I was tired of my skin feeling hard and filmy and my hair feeling dry and brittle. I knew I couldn't treat the water coming into the apartment but I figured I could at least filter it. I scoured reviews until I found the WaterChef Premium Shower Filter System. It received good reviews so I decided to give it a try. I received the shower filter much faster than expected thanks to Amazon fulfillment:) The filter system also came with a filter and I ordered an additional two-pack of replacement filters. I must note that I did not install the shower filter myself because I could not remove the shower head that was in my shower so I had maintenance come in and install it. When I arrived home from work, the shower filter was in place and it looked great! . I love the detachable handheld shower head with hose. I noticed an immediate difference in the way my skin and hair felt. Additionally, the shower did not get shower scum build up as quickly. Its been 6 months since the shower filter was install. Currently I have not experienced any leaks in the shower system (head or neck). The filters last 6 months and are ridiculously easy to replace. The two pack of filters were around $30, which I think is very affordable since they last up to 6 months. Bottomline: I can't live without this shower filter system. Soft skin, healthy hair and less shower grime. I recommend this shower filter system to anyone who has hard water or you just want less minerals and chemicals in your water! I didn't find the system to be too expensive but I think its well worth what I paid.

I generally don't write reviews, but if you are looking for a showerhead that will remove chlorine, this one actually works and lasts. I had purchased a Culligan WSH-C125 filter previous to this one. I test the shower water every couple weeks with chlorine test drops. After 2 weeks, the tested water turned deep yellow. The filter was not filtering out any chlorine. I am single and my one a day shower lasts about 7 or 8 minutes, and this filter was rated for 10,000 gallons before it needed replacement. Returned it to Amazon and started some intensive research. The majority of shower filters use KDF technology. This is basically a chemical reaction between 2 heavy metals to neutralize the chlorine. I'm reading where people were having a reaction to the metals on their skin. I wanted a carbon water filter, because I know they work. I have a Kangen SD-501 unit on my kitchen sink and it performs flawlessly. The first thing that you have to find out before you purchase a shower filter, is if your water is being treated with just chlorine or is it being treated with chloramine. You can get this info from your water dept. If it is being treated with chloramine, this and any of the other KDF filters will not work. You have to go to a Vitamin C filter. But if your water, like mine, is being treated with chlorine, this filter will work great. Got this filter 2 months ago, and just checked the water today and no chlorine. Easy to install if you follow the directions. Used the hand wand last week to give the cats a bath. Worked great. The only thing I would have them do to improve this filter is the addition of a shut-off valve on the wand head. You have turn the water off at the faucet. But, for how the filter performs, I can live with that.

The water pressure wasn’t not too adversely affected, the pressure is still pretty close to original. The first thing I noticed was the water was slightly less slippery and felt like I was more clean. The water taste in my mouth from the shower was less offensive too. After the shower I noticed my skin was softer than normal too. I assume less chlorine means less stripping off my body oils and leaves my skin softer. Overall I’m happy. I did switch out the shower head to keep my original XL large head waterpick (oddly enough the pressure seems better on that one too). Do be warned that the initial flush of the shower head was extremely black and sooty (very messy). Make sure you aim the head down the drain on first use otherwise the black carbon powdery will spray everywhere and splash up and make a mess on your walls and shower curtain like it did for me (even though it was aimed perfectly in the middle of my bath tub the splash up made mess). This is a non issue though it’s just a warning to be mindful of it and we all expected some black to wash out, I just wasn’t expecting that much (it came out like solid black paint) I woild recommend this model to anyone in the market for one of these.
