Immediately after my first shower using this product, my hair was noticeably softer, much softer. I did NOT notice any drop off in water pressure either, it works great. My hair felt like I had used conditioner but I didn''t use any. My brother loves it as well. It continues to work well after months of use. The water hitting your skin also feels very soft and luxurious. Definitely helps with dry, cracked, or itchy skin. It does a great job of filtering the chlorine, 99% according to this online review:
Although this product does not claim to remove chloramines, it apparently does according to this same review: (just google shower filter reviews) Apparently a lot of water municipalities are switching over to chloramines instead of straight chlorine in the water.
I did A LOT of research and the only two types of shower filters that truly remove 99% of chlorine in the water are the Sprite filters and Vitamin C filters. However, all the Vitamin C filters are made in China, break easily, and run out after only a few weeks of use according to reviews on Amazon. This product does not remove VOC''s (volatile organic chemicals) but I don''t think any shower filters truly do. I could be wrong. Either way, the most dangerous chemicals in the shower water by far are the chlorine chemicals. So what you could do is combine this product with another shower filter that is supposed to remove VOC''s, since the ones that do claim to remove VOC''s are horrible at removing chlorine despite their claims.
This product comes at a great price, and outperforms any other more expensive shower filter. The only thing I don''t like about it, is that it does not swivel up as much as my old nickel plated shower head. But it still works fine. Sprite filters are the best. The 6 month replacement cartridge costs about $17 on amazon, so this shower head with one included is a great deal. Was easy to install, no tools needed.
Also, Sprite claims on the website that the flow rate is 1.75 GPM. It comes with an optional disk that restricts the flow to 2.0 GPM. Apparently Sprite made a mistake or it''s false advertising! Either way, 2.0 GPM is better than the standard 2.5 GPM in regular shower heads. This is still a great product if you want an efficient shower head with a great filter all in one.I am a verified purchaser, unlike other. 6 months and chucking due to no major difference in water quality. See update comment below. There is a reason manufacturer discontinued it and only selling it on amazon to get rid of inventory. Yes, I know same filter is used in their other products, which I will not be purchasing. Btw I am a real doctor.
