Definitely a great filtered shower head. It is quite pricey but you can feel the difference in the water when taking a shower.
Actually, it probably took me less than TEN minutes to install because I took pictures to document the installation.The first picture was taken at 1610 (4:10 PM for your landlubbers) and the test picture was taken at 1629, just 19 minutes later.Also had to get a larger crescent wrench from my garage shop to loosen the old nozzle. While I didn't take a picture of the messy plumber's tape I had to remove, note that picture #4 shows it nicely clean for the new tape provided in the box.Removing the old nozzle is worth taking time to avoid putting undue stress on the supply stub. Using a larger wrench than the cute one provided allowed me to more carefully apply torque for removal."Leftie Loosie, Rightie Tightie." The shorter handle on the provided "Mighty (mouse?) wrench" will help avoid applying too much torque to seat the Julie showerhead.Florida's water has never been "tasty" right out of the tap since I first tasted it in the early 1950's. Based on the red stains our white shower curtain sustains that we wash every 3-4 weeks with Clorox in the washing machine, I suspect the water we get here in SWFL is worse today than it was in the 1950's.We pour our drinking water from plastic bottles into a micro-plastics filtering jug before drinking. Coffee water comes out of the tap but gets filtered by a $500 reverse osmosis table top device. Safe water's not cheap.Thus, what seems like relatively expensive filter is going to be easy for me to subjectively compare. Will it eliminate stains on the white shower curtain? Will sediments and chemicals clog the replaceable filter faster than the recommended replacement at 6 month intervals? We'll see.The replacement filters look fairly priced and the entire expense will be well worth it to KNOW it's doing something to reduce "red sludge" and chemicals from shower water.
I’m writing this review because I definitely saw the change. I got this filter 2 days ago and I’m already in love with it. I moved about a year ago into my new apartment and I started having issues with hair fall right away. I thought maybe it was the water quality but at the same time maybe it was also a hormonal issue or stress. I have really long hair so it was really affecting my mental and self esteem every time I shower and see a huge clump of hair on the drain. Tried taking supplements and even went to a dermatologist and obgyn to see if it is a hormonal issue or skin issue but everything came back normal and I still have extreme hair fall especially after showers. So I factored that out and deduced it to the water quality in our building. Long story short, did my research and I finally purchased this and the results are day and night. I attached pictures so I can show the results from this shower head. I’m really glad I went by this and not any other shower filter. (When I moved in, I purchased a shower head filter here that had good reviews but sadly, it didn’t eradicate the issue that I was having)
I can honestly feel a huge difference since switching to this shower head. My skin feels noticeably softer, my hair is smoother, and even my face feels cleaner and more refreshed after every shower. It’s gentle but still has great water pressure, which I really appreciate.Installation was super quick and easy and it only took a few minutes. I also love the design; it looks modern and adds a nice touch to my bathroom.Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their shower experience.
