Excellent shower filter — noticeable difference!
The Aquasana AQ-4100 shower filter really improves water quality. My hair feels softer, and my skin is less dry after just a few uses. Easy to install, looks clean in white, and provides a refreshing shower experience. Totally worth it!

Reduces chlorine in shower water
Does a great job filtering chlorine in the shower which eliminated scalp & body itching and dry skin. A real life saver. Shower water taste chorine free too. We’ve been buying this filter for probably 15+ years faithfully. It’s great!

A Shower Upgrade – Skin and Hair Feel Amazing!
I’m really impressed with the Aquasana Filtered Shower Head! The flow rate gives me great water pressure, and the up flow design makes sure the water flows smoothly without clogging. (I did have to put plumbers tape on where you attach it, as it leaks a tiny bit, but overall I really enjoy this and think it was a good purchase).What really stands out for me is how it’s helped with the itching I used to feel after showering with regular water. The carbon and copper-zinc says it filters out over 90% of chlorine, and I’ve noticed a big difference in my skin, and it’s much less dry and irritated. That’s a huge win for me!!Showering with it is honestly a pleasure. My skin feels softer, and my hair doesn’t feel like it has buildup on it anymore.The filter lasts up to 6 months or 10,000 gallons they say, and replacing it is super easy. Installation was easy, and it only took about 10 minutes minutes to set up. (that includes adding the extra plumbers tape too).Overall, I’m really happy with this. I’ve used it every day for 3 months, and it works good for me. If you’re looking for something to improve your skin and hair, this is definitely worth trying!

It’s a good product. But not for long!
Edited to change title, stars, and add: Avoid this product! I didn’t give enough credence to the less positive reviews, and naively thought, “Well, there’s plenty of good reviews – I’ll be one of the people who install this thing right and won’t have problems.” After about four weeks of use, I gave this product a fair and positive review. Well, a week after that posting, I noticed that the part of the hose that connects it to the handle was cracked. A few days after that, it totally broke and I had to replace the hose and handle with the detachable hose and head I’d originally had installed – which doesn’t fit very well in Aquasana’s bracket. For $60, I was hoping to get at least one filter-life worth of use out of it before I replaced it with something else, because I wasn’t exactly thrilled with this purchase – and the replacement filters cost about as much as a whole unit. I will continue to use this Frankenstein set-up to use the filter for a while longer, and will be buying a different brand filtering shower head.Original review:People complaining about it leaking may have not bothered to read the deceptively easy directions, or noticed the clear plastic washers that come with the unit. Those washers need to be installed at both ends of the hose, and pipe tape (not included) is needed at all connections. The pipe tape is only 99 cents at Walmart – get some! Sellers also seem to have taken notice of the comments about a stinky hose, because mine came opened – which means someone on their end is opening the packages to let them air out prior to shipping. GOOD JOB! That being said, mine still has a minor, very negligible drip where the filter attaches to the wall pipe, and it makes a sort of annoying whistling sound – but those problems are caused by the water pressure in my house being too good, so I’m not really complaining.We have it installed in a decent-sized stand up shower stall, and it fits well. The filter does prevent a lot of head angle adjustment, but since the BF and I are fairly tall and aren’t interested in wasting water for a massage, it’s fine. If you’re short, have a smaller shower stall, or are fairly particular about the cosmetics of your bathroom, you may not be as pleased. That last bit about cosmetics is that, as other commentors have mentioned, the unit is NOT all bright white as it might appear in the picture. The pieces are all sort of different shades of white.This is an excellent product, which I purchased because my city water has LOTS of extra chlorine in it, added by the city because of bacteria issues they have yet to solve. Plus, living in the part of Florida that we do, the water is pretty hard on hair and skin anyway. I noticed an amazing difference in my hair the very first time I washed it with this shower head. Much less straw-like and much less frizzy – and a lot less styling product needed. I won’t say it was as perfect as the tap water from up north in Philly or NYC (where I didn’t need any styling product other than a cheap hairdryer to get awesome hair) but it is SO many times better it is worth every penny the unit and replacement filters will cost.

HONEST REVIEW
UPDATE** Ok so its been HARDLY 2 months and my hair came back to being super dry and tangled like a whole big dreadlock, the filter lost ALL its properties in less than 2 months!! And my household is JUST MY HUSBAND AND ME, and we only take 5 minutes to shower! So what about bigger households with kids or more than 2 people?? I went back to spending 30 minuts or more detangling and my hair started to fall off again like crazy, I can see the efect on the filter is gone so I am sad it doesnt last what it promises it’s supposed to last which is 6 months! So are we supposed to buy this every 2 months? If it was cheaper I would think about it but it is NOT. So sad because I really loved it and took the time to write the most large review I have written in my whole life.*** I just bought my 3rd replacement for this filter and I can say with all honesty all of them (the same replacement, this is the 3rd one already) lasted hardly 2 months, in less than two months my hair comes back to dreadlocks and breaks with white spots on the ends. Very sad it’s SO expensive for less than 2 months while being advertised as 6 months! The product does work the first 2 months as My hair immediately looks softer, detangled and the shedding stops a lot but after 2 months I can feel the hard water again and I don’t have a particularly hard water just the regular one in Chicago. And I repeat: it’s just me and my husband taking showers of 5 minutes each! If we had a bigger family or took longer showers we would be basically had filter for only 1 month. Very disappointed on the product they should make it WAY MORE AFFORDABLE SINCE IT DOESNT LAST EVEN HALF OF THE TIME FRAME THEY SAY._____________________OK so I have been waiting since I bought this filter to write my honest review and I want to be VERY HONEST AND SPECIFIC/DETAILED ABOUT IT:• I come from a city outside USA where we had nearly the best tap water there is, in my native country we have very large hair and until then I have never heard about hard water nor had any issue with it drying my skin and hair.• So that being said, since I moved to USA my hair (naturally very abundant and voluminous) started to fall off on bunches!! it was SCARY and within months I had 8x times less than what I had before, I tried every treatment, oils etc etc thinking that maybe I hadn’t had the nutrients I needed on my scalp, but it never stoped and got worst, for the first time I had DANDRUFF in a very thick layer AND THE WORST started to happen, my hair started to TANGLE together in a big ball of dreadlocks like a rastafarian, it was sooo dry and it didnt matter how much conditioner, treatments I put on it, or how much I combed it, when I did it just broke off and on the next day it would be all tangled again.• SO THEN I started reading it was maybe because of the water, I realized it had never happened to me before and it maybe had something to do with it, so I bought TWO different filters from other brands and the 5 first showers I noticed a slight improvement but after that, my hair got worst like I was putting new harmful chemicals in addition on the ones that my hard water already had!Those two filters I bought on amazon, the first one was by a brand cold MXBOLD and the other one was AQUABLISS, I am not going to say those are bad, but they definatelly didnt work for me and my specific hard water, the Aquabliss was the one that got my problem worst and I was afraid I was going to get bold on that rithm of sheding, I even saw some white hard residues starting to form over the shower head that later I read it was because of the calcium/hard water plus the filter elements they put inside and I tought this might be forming on my head as well.• So then, I decided to buy this AQUASANA filter which I was doubting so much because of the price, but I am here to say that it was my best decision ever, from the very first shower my hair stoped shedding as it was doing before, like I used to shed more than 200 hairs on each shower and bunch of them each day, but with this filter it stopped! My scalp doesnt itch as much and MY HAIR STOPPED TANGLING LIKE RASTAS! That one for me was the most clear signal that the filter was working, my hair still tangles more than it does on my native country which has the best water but hey, at least it looks way more healthy and shiny that it has been since I came to USA, now people compliments me on my hair (something that didnt happen before) and I do feel better about it now for alllll the reasons I have wrote here.So if you are a woman or a man that like me is looking desperately for a GOOD filter that actually works because of your hair shedding to an extreme, I suggest trying this one (also taking biotin pills and taking a look at some vitamins you might be lacking, like iron for example: lack of iron makes the hair fall)
