I''ve owned this shower head for about a year. It works as advertised and I''m happy to shower clorine free. I''m especially pleased to have no calcium residual clogging up the spray.

HOWEVER...I''m surprised no one has mentioned the following problem. To establish a leakproof seal when replacing the filters, one has to vaseline the rubber seals. Otherwise the water bypasses the filter and squirts out the threads between the head and body of the device. You''ve got to get the vaseline evenly spread or it won''t work. you''re supposed to reverse the direction of the filter every month and replace on the third month. The body of the filter gets gross with vaseline and the whole process becomes messy and unpleasant.

But I''m sticking with it because I like the performance.

UPDATE: I cleaned the whole thing thoroughly recently, used minmal vaseline the first time and I''ve used none the last two times with no problem. Maybe some of my issues are user error?

I have noticed a big difference with using this filter. My hair is more manageable, less tangles and less breakage. Not to mention my blonde hair no longer gets rusty colored. Plus the shampoo/body wash has more lather. For the price and 6-12 month replacement factor, it deserves 5-stars.

This item is a replacement for one I have had for approximately 7 yrs. It looks identical except for the garbage plastic bracket. It looks like solid metal but.......when I put the handle into the bracket it promptly broke and is not reparable. Fortunately I was able to ''dumpster dive'' into my recycle bin and retrieve my original metal bracket. Shame on the manufacturer!

This item seems to work but I only gave it two stars as I would not buy it again. I installed (easy enough) in our master bathroom. The price had just dropped to $30 at a hardware store. The handle is very long as it needs to integrate the long skinny filter. Because of this it sits significantly higher than any hand held shower massager I''ve ever tried. We need to be careful to angle it downward in order to make sure we aren''t spraying water over the back shower wall. The only other negative is that these long skinny filters are rated for only 3 months of typical use compared to 6 months of typical use for the non-hand held models.

For my daughter''s bathroom I decided to install a non-hand held Sprite filter and put a hand held mount underneath that. This was I could choose from a much bigger selection of shower heads (simple non-adjustable non-massaging was my choice as these last longer). There were no leaks. I will have to replace the filters half as often for her bathroom than I will for ours and the height of the shower head when placed on the mount is much better. If I had to do ours again I would do it how I did my daughter''s.

HELLO AGAIN AMAZON FANS EVERWHERE!!

The public water supply in this area of western Ma is heavily chlorinated; without exaggeration, it often smells like swimming pool water coming out of the tap. As such we use a filter for our shower and another type of filter for our kitchen faucet: PUR 3-Stage Horizontal Faucet Mount WhiteFM-9600B.

We have used this filter a couple years now & we noticed an immediate difference in both the smell of the water and how our skin and hair felt once we started using the device.

This was the second shower filter my wife purchased; the first worked well, but the design extended the length of the shower faucet so far down that I had to bend through my knees quite a bit to fit my 6 foot body under the stream which aggravated me immensely. This unit though screws onto the end of the faucet in a way that raises it up at least 10 inches further then even the original shower head. As an extra bonus the hose allows you to easily remove the shower head and use it to rinse off either yourself or the tub & shower while cleaning.

I do not often switch the water stream off the regular setting, but when I need a little massaging action on a sore back or shoulders it is nice feature to have.

Although I have not had any issues with leaking from a poorly sealed cartridge, as a couple others mentioned, the one nuisance I can report is in changing the cartridges. The original cartridges we got with the unit and refills we purchased earlier were solid white in color. A number of months back I noticed that the the new cartridges we were getting were clear and allowed you to see the filter materials inside. However, I think that since the change in color, it has been my experience, that the new filter cartridge did not simply drop in to the bottom of the unit, rather it was pressed in and seated as I threaded on the shower end. There is where the trouble lies; I have a devil of a time wrestling out the old cartridge.

I like the way the filter mounts to the shower faucet; the extra height is a blessing, I like the filters performance and the easy way you can remove the head unit from its base, I just wish it was not such a PIA to replace the cartridges (I end up removing the hose as well, then pressing something through that opening to push the cartridge out). It is a bit of a challlenge for me, it might be near impossible for my wife.
