WaterChef Premium Shower Filter System SF-7C (Brushed Nickel) | Adjustable Handheld Shower Wand | NSF/ANSI Certified for 96.6% Chlorine Reduction | High Pressure Performance | 10,000-Gallon Capacity

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.

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.

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.

This showerhead filter is good quality, works, and looks nice (although it doesn't match our pipe... oops). It was also really easy to install. We did not need to use the included tape or remove any flow restrictors. The water pressure feels the same as our old shower head. The only thing we had to use a tool for was the screw on the hinged piece that holds the showerhead. It was loose, and due to the weight of the showerhead, drooped a little. A twist with a Phillips head fixed that, no problem! It's large, but not too low in our shower, even for my 6' boyfriend. The hose length is also very long... perfect for doggie baths. There are 4 settings (two "needle" and two "massaging" or whatever you would call more concentrated flow). They are easy to switch between and the switch feels sturdy. We have only had it a few days but the difference in water quality was immediately noticeable. My boyfriend was having issues with very dry hair due to the quality of our water and I was dealing with scalp irritation and dry skin. I will say that I do have sensitive, dry skin, so I suspect I will always have these issues... but they were worse than usual! After installing this filter, his hair is soft again and I don't feel like I need to coat myself in lotion immediately after stepping out of the shower. My skin and hair are softer overall and I also feel like my shampoo rinses cleaner. I am a convert and we will definitely be using this shower head for a long time to come. Also, it seems like it will be easy to change the filter; I unscrewed the compartment just to check and it was simple to open up. Replacement filters are also reasonably priced and available on Amazon. Overall, it's not a *miracle* or anything, but I'm very happy with this purchase!

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.

NOT WORTH THE PRICE bought it 2 months ago. at first was working well, good water pressure After 2 months of use, the water pressure has reduce severely making it difficult for washing hair I tried without the filter and flow normal I take 1 shower a day so, the filter should work better. Very disappointed. I had to buy another brand. which means I just lost 100 $

In a time where quality and customer service are nearly extinct, it's wonderful to deal with a company that stands by its product. I have had my Water Chef shower system since 2015 and couldn't be happier. I change the filters as directed, but recently began having water pressure issues. Since the filter was relatively new, I figured maybe the system was simply getting old and needed to be replaced. I purchased a new one which was ready in the box for when a plumber visited my home to fix something else. He removed the filter and showed me the shower now worked fine, and that the problem was with the filter. When I called Water Chef, the associate was very knowledgeable about the causes of a clogged filter, explained it to me, and sent me a re[placement filter. He did not try to just sell me a new system. Luckily, I had not taken the new shower system from the box and easily returned it.When a company genuinely cares about it's customers, that's when they get me as a loyal customer. Thank you, Water Chef!

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.

Our daughter is allergic to chlorine and gets terrible eczema over her whole body. We chose this because it was rated the best to eliminate chlorine. We had the water coming from the waterchef tested by the town water commission and there was 0.00 chlorine. We have had it for 2 months and she has no eczema. Great for elimination of chlorine and a really nice shower head as well.

Everything as described
