I bought this filter to help a skin condition I had from way too many chemicals in my water system. Since I bought the filter the condition has cleared entirely and I no longer have itchy bumby skin.

The BPA-free Aquasana AQ-4100 Shower Filter removes harmful synthetic chemicals and chlorine in your water to give you softer skin and shinier hair for the cleanest, healthiest showering experience.
Treat yourself to a better shower.
Everyone knows what it feels like after swimming in a chlorinated pool - dry, itchy skin, straw-like hair and red eyes. So why would you want to shower in it? The Aquasana shower filter helps your family enjoy bathing in filtered water with a simple attachment to your shower line. Our unique two-stage shower filter system uses a combination of copper-zinc oxidation media and coconut shell carbon to reduce 91% of the chlorine in your water, and also reduces synthetic chemicals and enhances pH balance. This means that you'll be able to enjoy the health and cosmetic benefits of showering in clean water, like reduced asthma symptoms and softer skin and hair. Since Aquasana filter cartridges last 6 months or 10,000 gallons, you'll shower in the healthiest water for the best value.
Softer skin and hair within a week of showering in filtered water - satisfaction guaranteed!
Our shower filter removes 91% of chlorine in your shower water while maintaining water pressure.

I live in West Texas. It is extremly dry dry dry..The water is horrible tons of chlorine you can smell it. I have spent hundreds of dollars on creams and lotions because between the water and dry climate I felt there was no hope for my skin and hair. I was desperate and getting very depressed. I was using bottle water to wash my hair everytime. What a hassle. Trust me when I say buy this and try it. Please consider. I think we as people do not relize how much water really does play such an important part of our everyday health, hair, body, teeth, wrinkles.;.It has been 1 week and wow what a huge differance. My skin is so soft my hair too. I even feel a differance when I brush my teeth. I cant stop touching my hair, AMAZING. Dont deprive yourself from feeling the way you should pretty and healthy... TRY IT..

Comments about Aquasana Shower Filter:
I bought one of these a few years ago and change the filter once or twice a year. We are moving so put the original shower head back on the shower. OMG - I forgot how awful the water without the filter makes your skin and hair feel. I cannot wait to get to the new house to install this again. I'm going to buy a second one for the guest shower. This is one item I will NOT live without. Once you get one there is no going back.

The shower head was difficult for me to install but it won't be for everyone. The water is cleaner and my skin and hair appreciate the softer cleaner clorine reduced water. My skin is not as dry as it use to be. I even bought a shower head for a relative.

Comments about Aquasana Shower Filter:
VERY simple to install with detailed instructions included. Didn't slow water pressure. We've been using for about 2 months now so I can't comment on how long filter will last or if it's easy to replace. We have very hard water and I have course, color treated hair and although I was using all the best hair products my hair felt like straw. I noticed a HUGE improvement after about a month of using the Aquasana filter. My hairstylist even commented on how much shinier my hair looks and asked what I've been using. Until I can afford a whole house system this is the next best thing. I hightly recommend the product and they offer a guarantee although you won't need it.

The Aquasana AQ-4100 comes with a 90-day satisfaction guarantee and a 1-year warranty. (Extended warranty available with Water for Life.)
1. Do I have to pay for a plumber to install the system? — Aquasana shower systems are very easy to install, and you can do it yourself in minutes. No plumber is necessary. If you have any questions or need assistance, our technical support representatives can walk you through the installation process.
2. What is the flow rate of the AQ-4100 & AQ-4105? — The optimum flow rate for the filter and shower head is 2.5 gallons per minute.
3. Can I use my own shower head or hand-held wand with the AQ-4100? — Yes, but it is not recommended. You can use your own shower head if you do not like the provided Aquasana shower head as long as the shower head connection has the same 1/2 inch connection as standard shower heads. Just note that if your shower head processes more than a 2 1/2 gallon flow rate per minute, the quality of filtration may degrade slightly. Increasing the flow rate by changing the shower head reduces contact time with the media and will reduce the filtration quality as well. If you decrease the flow rate of the system by using a different shower head, or use a shower head with a shut-off switch, you may cause damage to the system and void your warranty.
4. Can I use the shower system for drinking water? — Drinking some of the water during your shower there poses no risk. However, Aquasana does not recommend that you use the shower system as a primary drinking water source, since it is not designed as a drinking system and has only been tested and certified under shower conditions and regulations.
5. Can I hook the shower system up under a constant pressure application? — No, the shower system is designed to allow the water to consistently pass through the system as it filters. If the system is under constant pressure and unable to release the pressure introduced into the system during filtration, damage can occur to the unit.
6. Do you have a shower filter for well water? — Aquasana does manufacture a shower filter designed for well water called the AQ-4100-85. You can purchase this filter by contacting the Aquasana sales department at (866) 662-6885. The well water shower filtration system is designed to more aggressively reduce iron, and will still reduce all of the same contaminants as the AQ-4100/AQ-4105. The amount of time the AQ-4100-85 will last is determined by the number of gallons it filters and the levels of iron and contaminants in your water.
7. How do I know if the Aquasana shower system will fit the shower pipe coming out of my wall? — Most shower connections are 1/2 inch, which means that the Aquasana shower systems will fit the shower pipe in most homes.
8. How much chlorine does the shower system remove? — Aquasana shower systems are certified to remove 91% chlorine for 10,000 gallons.
9. How do I know how many showers it takes to use 10,000 gallons? — 10,000 gallons at 2 1/2 gallons per minute = 4,000 minutes of showering - You can take 400, 10-minute showers - You can take 267, 15-minute showers
