AQUAYOUTH 2.0 Carbon Shower Head Filter System | Removes Chlorine, Heavy Metals, And More | Great For Dry Skin/ Hair, And More | NSF Certified

I had an aquabliss filter for about 2 years but having to remove the entire shower structure to swap the filter was getting old which led to us just not replacing the filter and ending up with hard water again in a few months. My skin and hair were getting super dry and it was winter time so I knew I needed a solution. I'm in Raleigh NC and while our water is not the worst, you can smell, taste, and feel the hardness of the water. Def not the kind you can "drink from the tap". Came across this filter and while it is less visually appealing than the aquabliss, its easy filter swap won me over. Installation was super easy and you can install it whichever direction you prefer, filter to the left right or under the shower. Immediately I could tell a huge difference. The water no longer had a smell, I even tasted it (dont judge) and it had NO taste, it was like drinking spring water. My hair and skin immediately got softer and the oil returned to my face (no more spending a small fortune on moisturizing 3x a day). This thing is a miracle and I can say works BETTER than the aquabliss even though it is quite a bit uglier. Best of all, that white mineral stuff that builds up on the shower head and starts clogging the individual nozzles so you end up with water squirting in all directions is no longer happening (I was still getting some with the aquabliss). Getting one for all the showers in my house & for my parents.

Purchased this filter barring other reviews, I needed to replace another shower filter that needs to frequent replacing. I moved to a horrendous complex with water that is so chlorinated that it feels like I'm bathing in Clorox! Other shower filters have worked, but after a month or so they need replacement as I can smell the chlorine in the water. So, I decided to buy this filter system: at first, like many others, it leaked quite profusely, where the filter connects to the downspout as well as the plastic case. After fiddling with this on and off for few months, adding more tape to the downspout at the inlet into the filter, all leaking has ceased. Definitely effective in removing chlorine, no chlorine smell. The shower head is one I purchased from Amazon, and because of using filters, no clogging. I actually use the showehead to bathe as I like to sit and relax while cleaning myself. I'm confident that the water is safe to bathe. I took one star off as I tried to contact the seller but never received a response, mostly over the issues of leaking, which I finally resolved. I also use the showehead to spray down the tub, using the shower filter. Water does accumulate in the plastic housing, so I usually unscrew and empty the water. No other major problems, installing was easy. Do, for now, I'm quite satisfied. Update; Just replaced filter as I could smell chlorine while bathing. Just received the new filter, let water run for two minutes as the water is dark with carbon from the filter. Will say that no more chlorine smell. About water softness, that's debatable. All I'm concerned about is chlorine, which is a toxic cancer causing chemical, and for now it has been eliminated.

I've been using this shower filter system for about 2 years now, and it continues to impress me every time I replace the cartridge. The replacement always looks smaller than I expect, but it's powerful. As seen in my photos, the older filter being replaced clearly shows it's been at work. I live out in the country and use well water, which is very hard and often has a strong egg smell in the mornings. Since using this system, the smell has disappeared and my skin feels noticeably less dry compared to before. Installation is straightforward, and swapping out the filter when needed is quick and easy. Honestly, I don't plan on changing to another system anytime soon as this has made a real difference in my daily routine. As the old saying goes, if it's not broke don't fix it. I highly recommend this filter if you have hard water!

This filter was super easy to install if one is the least bit mechanically inclined. It took me a couple minutes to remove my shower head, install the filter body, flush It, and reattach my shower head. This filter did drop my shower head about 3" which affected me a little bit. I do have to bend down a touch when I am washing my hair. For some people, that might be a big deal, but I do not mind for the perceived benefit. My water is from a municipal source. My water has a bit of iron and lime scale in it. I will be able to tell if if it is keeping some of that stuff out of my shower water. I did shower with this once. The water did have a softer feel than normal, and my shower literally did feel more refreshing than normal. I do not have a chlorine tester or other fancy water testing device, and I can only go by how things feel. However, I will be able to check for iron staining after using it for awhile as the filter claims to reduce iron. I also read a lot of reviews from people who have well water that installed this filter and complained about having no filter life. I am guessing they need a pretty large whole house filter to block a lot of impurities in their water. Edit: I did buy a water testing kit. I tested for a few things. Anyway, this filter did remove chlorine. I also want to state that I did test warm shower temperature water as I know that some filters cannot filter out chemicals in warm or hot water. Edit 2: I used my filter for about 7 months. I live alone and typically shower about twice a day. I decided to swap out my filter before it "went bad". It still seemed like it was filtering chlorine, but I did not want to chance it. Obviously, someone with worse water quality might have a shorter filter life. I also installed a new shower head when I installed this filter. I went with a 1.5 gpm model to help slow the water down a touch and to help improve filtering. My shower head never gummed up, since I installed this, with lime scale which is a first for me as my area has ridiculously hard water. Also, there have been no iron stains in my shower since I installed this. Yes, it does pull that stuff out of the water. Edit 3: I am still happy with this system and have used it for about 4 few years without problems. I alleviated my shower height issue by installing a goose neck shower pipe which raised my showerhead several inches. I wish I would have done that years ago. Lastly, I have seen people complaining the filter does not remove any chlorine from their water. You might want to check if your water system uses chloramjnes before getting mad because this filter alone won't remove chloramines.

First you should take note of this warning on the product page below the description: "Frequently returned item Check the product details and customer reviews to learn more about this item." Second, I couldn't find a shower filter of ANY type that didn't have a review about the cartridge leaking. I chose this one because it is easiest to change the cartridge without having to disassemble the shower head. The design looks like a good design, but it is built with chrome plated plastic. The chromed housing that the filter connects to would maybe work better if it were made from metal and had a decent O-ring. As it is, the leak isn't all that much, but for the money ($60) it should not leak at all. The other connections from the supply pipe to the shower head is okay, but wrap the teflon tape around the threads more than the instructions say. The threads are a rather loose fit unless you do this. Admittedly those connections are not leaking. And the water pressure has dropped a bit. Not enough to ruin your shower, but it is detectable. I purchased this activated charcoal filter only, to help eliminate the perceived chlorine in the municipal water supply. All the other shower filters advertise 8 to 15 layered filter medium inside, and some claim to reduce hard water (calcium carbonate). These claims are false, and the other multiple layers are not necessary unless maybe you are drawing water from a well. The city water supplied to your house is already filtered and treated so it doesn't have any of the things these filters claim to remove, and therefor they are useless. I researched the water quality reports in my city and the only thing that could be in there that you'd want to filter out is chlorine, which is used by the city as a disinfectant. No shower filter removes calcium carbonate which is dissolved in water that results in hard water. As a matter of fact, my city water supply cannot remove it either. If you have hard water problems call Culligan and buy a whole-house water softening system which uses salt and other chemically compounds to counter the calcium carbonate to make your water soft, but it doesn't filter out calcium either. To summarize, none of these damned things work, but this particular product may filter some chlorine. And with a leaky device, how effective is the filtering? I don't know. And After a week of use I do not notice any difference in the feel of my hair and skin. It is annoying and you feel ripped-off when this brand new item is installed properly as per the instructions and then leak the first time you put water through it. Honestly I was skeptical of all of these shower filters, but my girlfriend was insistent that she wanted to try one to help with brittle hair and dry skin after showering. She is not happy with it either. I am just more frustrated because I had to install it. This company needs to rethink and redesign their product so that it NEVER leaks. Then the filtering subject is another thing entirely. I say skip it. You don't need one anyway. The advertising for these things makes you star to think there are bad things in your water. There are not bad things in the municipal water that meet state and federal standards coming to your home.

Easy to install and made an immediate difference in water quality. My skin and hair feel softer, and there’s noticeably less chlorine smell. Water pressure stayed strong, and the filter feels well made. Great upgrade if you want cleaner shower water.

I was having a horrible issue with my apartment building and property management. There was completely brown water coming out of my faucets which through my own detective work I figured out was rust getting all over my body every day. So disgusting. No one did anything about it and I was really overwhelmed and stressed and so terribly upset for weeks on end and it took me a while to figure out what to do and I ended up choosing this product. I’m so glad I did… this was also at a time where I couldn’t afford to waste even $20. There are a lot of options and it’s very overwhelming but I went with this one and it worked. When I switch my faucets from the tub to the shower nozzle the water completely changes color. It really is so reassuring and comforting knowing that my water is actually clean now. If you’re having problems with the quality of water in your building this is 100% going to fix your issue. I’ve had mine for probably two months and it’s still working great but I’ve made a point of not unscrewing a re-screwing it, once I put it on I left it there and I didn’t touch it and I would recommend that. Need to buy more filters and it’s worth it. P.S. I know this is a little…weird? But I also take a lot of baths but I really can’t afford two filters one just for the bathtub faucet, so I’ve been filling up my bathtub with my shower nozzle so that I have clean bathwater… and although it’s very unorthodox it does in fact totally work and now I’ve been taking baths with completely 100% crystal clear water and I didn’t even understand how unclean my water was until this past few months. If you’re having the same weird and unfortunate dilemma of not having clean water for baths, showers and have zero dollars to spare this is totally a solution. Once again, unorthodox to have to fill up a bath that way but once again it does work if you have no help/options and are a renter. Hope this helps! Update: Over a year later, this shower filter still works amazing. I unfortunately have to purchase a new filter at least every two months but that’s only because the water in my building is so horribly disgusting that that much metal and God knows what is being trapped in the filter. When you empty the filter out it is physically heavy… It’s both reassuring and concerning. This filter is simple but it works. It’s also a helpful way for me to know/ gage the quality of my water depending on how quickly the filter gets used up … If the pressure starts to get low it just means that the filter is full. I’ve gone through a filter in even just one month recently . And it’s because the water in my building is still disgusting but luckily I have crystal clear water because of this filter. Paying $25 for the filter replacement every few months is something beyond worth it even though it’s still an extra cost for me, I’m probably saving years of my life by not having rust and chlorine all over my body every day. Still worth it.

Non vale quello che costa...."sóla"

Installation video also available (at the time of writing this) Water feels great! Depending if you use a shower head with a hose you may need an extra washer so that the water doesn't leak. I tried 2 different ones and one hose was good with 1 and another needed 2.

Habe den Filter von Freunden empfohlen bekommen und möchte ihn nicht mehr missen. Völlig andere Wasserqualität.

Missing the swivel to attach to the water inlet

Works good changes the smell of the water
