Super product

Received this product and had some installation issues (below). However, the filter is easy to install and the whole process is pretty straight forward. Additionally, my sensitive and dry skin is definitely feeling better.Pros- Easy installation process (remove old showerhead and all the old plumbers tape in threads then re-tape with the included teflon tape and screw on this new shower head.)- Definitely helps my sensitive and dry skin. Removes most of the Chlorine in the water.- Filter can be easily installed and changed.- Good shower pressure (even with the flow restricter in). If you need higher pressure, take out the white filter inside the threading of the showerhead.- 5 Settings all worked pretty well and no clogged holes so far.Cons- Threads were a little tight on my piping - had to use two pipe wrenches to tighten (one to hold pipe, one to turn showerhead).- Showerhead was drooping straight down upon install (fixable below). *I WOULD CHECK THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION*- Only about 6-8 inches wide of water spray.- To change the spray settings, you have to hold the showerhead and twist the greyish rubber area.Troubleshooting- If water is leaking form the connection of showerhead and pipe, you need to reinstall the teflon tape (should give the threads a good 2-3 rounds of teflon tape). Then screw the showerhead on tighter (may need pipe wrenches). I had to tighten my showerhead so that the metal ring covered ALL exposed pipe threading before it stopped dripping water.-If the showerhead is drooping and wont stay in place, you need to adjust a rubber ring/gasket inside the showerhead. To access this, you need to twist the ring directly behind the large part of the showerhead counterclockwise, it should be about 3 wide (diameter) and it screws off the showerhead. You may need to use a cloth (pretty rough on the hands). Mine took a good amount of strength to remove, but once removed there is a black rubber gasket that you need to pull out and reseat inside the shower head. This should correct your tilting mechanism. This would probably be easier done before the installation onto the existing piping.

Instructions were good, simple standard shower head installation after the filter mechanism was easily inserted. Matched brushed nickel shower perfectly. I think it will be simple to replace the filter, I kept the instructions but they are probably on the replacement filter when you buy it. Affordable fixture and seems reasonably priced to replace the filter about every 6 months.The difference was truly amazing, more than I imagined it would be. Our local municipal water is known for being particularly "hard" water, (powder detergent clumping, poor aquarium quality) so I experimented with rainwater to rinse my hair. There was enough difference in my hair texture from the rainwater that I investigated shower filters. I knew the name Culligan from special water deliveries for very sensitive laboratory equipment, so I figured they knew plenty about water quality.The first shower I had after installation, I could not believe how soft my skin and hair felt. I have filtered drinking/cooking water for years, and now it disturbs me to think of all the years of skin and hair damage I have suffered in the shower.I have had installation for about 3 weeks, no problems. It has 3-4 different shower settings, but I tend to use just regular spray. I have great water pressure in the first place, and the filter doesn't obstruct at all. In fact, the pulse setting was too hard for me, I don't like a shower that pummels me.I would highly recommend this product as a very affordable solution if you suffer from exposure to hard water. Very inexpensive makeover for practically new hair and skin.

Okay, so the last 6 months or so I was beginning to believe that the reason my hair and skin sucked was because I was now 30 and was starting to decompose. I have spent $100's on products and treatments for my thick, slightly wavy, fine hair that has been frizzy, dry, breaking and as my hairdresser put it: "chewy". I have spent even more $100's on skin care products to treat the post-pubescent acne and flaky dry, red patches that I was getting.Finally, I wondered....what about the water?My bf thought I was overreacting and getting all OCD about the next thing or "fad" to invest in, but I wanted to try it out anyway, even it was just to eliminate that factor altogether for the sake of my sanity.After grueling research on what to look for when buying a water filtation apparatus, reading hundreds of reviews on different brands, models etc., I finally resolved on this Culligan shower head and model.Upon receiving it, I couldn't wait to use it. Mind you, my bf still thought I was crazy. Today I installed it and used it. So did he. We LOVE it!!!!!!!!Installation was a breeze, getting it out of the package was not. It has one of those blister pack "they do not want you to actually open it" packaging. After I finally freed the shower head and filter I was happy to find a clear, concise, informative instruction pamphlet along with the Teflon tape.It was really easy to install. I didn't quite get down the 5 different spay settings yet, but again, I've only used it once o far.The difference was noticeable right away. The water felt indescribably cleaner. My skin didn't sting after shaving (I have really sensitive skin and even the gentlest razor irritates my skin). My hair felt like the products I was using was actually doing their job. When I got out of the shower the first thing I noticed was that my face was bright, clear, and not the usual red, blotchy mess it has been lately after showering. My arms and my legs felt like they haven't felt in a long time...ridiculously butter-soft. I didn't have to struggle to get product evenly distributed through my hair or to get a comb through it (I'm assuming that's the "chewiness").As it dried it was completely frizz free and insanely shiny. The real test was the blow dryer.Lately after blow drying, my hair has felt fried and crunchy, and has looked dull, damaged and sad. This day...today...it was luminous, soft and looked like it does the 24 hours after leaving your salon.It's totally the water!My bf thought that I was still crazy because he thought that an immediate difference couldnt be a possibility, but then he took a shower...Since I was out, he text me raving about it!! His hair is indeed noticeably shinier, softer and healthier looking in general. He now wants me to replace every faucet for a filtered one!!!The moral of the story is that this shower head is awesome and you're insane not to buy it. Even if you don't want this one, get a different one. No one should have to shower in water that is slowly poisoning us. It's so obvious to me now just how harmful these things are to humans.I am so glad I bought this and will recommend getting a filteration device to everyone I know. It's worth every single penny (even with the maintenance of replacing the filter every 6 months). Just buy it already!!

Great shower head - the flow is powerful, and also has generous droplet size. Our last shower head had small fast jets with a wider spray pattern, but this one is the perfect hybrid between rain shower and powerful spray. The filter is great and softens the water for a better shower too.
