Culligan ISH-200C Inline SHOWERHEAD Filter, Single Unit, Chrome

Easily to install and seems to be working great from the start. No smell of chlorine or other odors from the treated water in our shower. I notice a difference that my skin does not feel dry or smell like chlorine from showering. This looks better than those giant silver barrels.

I purchased this filter at the same time I purchased a new shower head. I figured, two birds, one stone. Plus, this includes a small roll of Teflon tape, so I didn't need to pick any up for this, or the new shower head. *Score!* This filter unit is rather well built, and appears to be completely metal, except for the filter inside of the housing. Installation couldn't be easier. I installed this filter and my new shower head in around fifteen minutes. The only design issue I found is the hand tightened nut. I believe that it should have been configure for a wrench. It's difficult to tighten enough to keep the entire unit still when attaching a shower head to it. However, the filter seems to be working great. My wife and I both feel like our skin is not as dry and itchy. It must have been caused by the chlorine in our water. Also, the level of soap scum has dropped significantly since I installed this unit. Pros: -Well built. -Easy to access the filter. -Includes Teflon tape. -Easy installation. -Less chlorine. -Less mineral deposits. Cons: -Hand tightened connection nut. (Might be fine for most, but I prefer one that accommodates wrenches.) -Showering is too enjoyable... I believe my shower time has increased by almost 50 percent. (Not necessarily a bad thing.) Summary: If you are looking for a simple to install filter with great results at a low price, you found it here.

There are so many shower filters to choose from. I have tried a few over the years. The last filter I had was a Vitamin C filter that attached to the shower arm a bit like this one does. It was just that it ran out of Vit C rather quickly and was expensive to refill. This one has been going strong for over a month now and it still going strong. The instruction sheet says to remove the cartridge and flip it over if the flow of water begins to lessen. You will also get some more life out of the filter medium. I can definitely tell that it is reducing the chlorine. My hair and skin feel softer. We have really hard water where I live and this seems to help a little with that too. (if you really need to reduce your hard water you may want to check into an electronic water softener, I have had a clear wave brand one now going strong for 8 years, there is also an Eddy brand here on Amazon that looks good too. I haven't had any scale or lime deposits on the fixtures and tiles since) This in-line shower filter seems to make it even softer feeling. I chose this filter because the replacement filters are available in the Amazon Subscribe and Save store and that gets you anywhere from 5%-15% off your filter when you have it auto shipped. That really makes them much more affordable!

It dkes cut the chlorine. But my wayer us also very hard so I think that in combination with rhe very heavy chlorine drastically diminishing its effectiveness. I've only had it a couple weeks and I can already smell both Sulphur and chlorine again.

This filter was easy enough to put on, although it does fit a little loose, but we fixed that with some plumbers tape. We have well water which contains quite a bit of rust and our showers always felt "dirty"- kind of like you could feel the rust particles even if you couldn't see them and our hair and skin felt awful even after scrubbing with loofahs and what not. We put this filter on the shower head and our hair and skin feel clean again. We do have to change this filter every month, but until we get a whole house system, this seems to be doing the trick for keeping the rusty feeling out of our hair and skin. **Update: It's been almost a full year with this filter and the part where it attaches to the shower arm out of the wall has come loose- like it's stripped out or bent in the washer/nut area, so it has started to leak at that joint. After examining it, it appears it cannot be fixed or maybe I'm just not handy enough to do it. For the year of heavy showering we got out of it, it was great, but I think we'll be trying out a more direct in-line system or just buy the filtered showerhead itself. Part of the problem is that we have a pretty heavy showerhead which I think caused this joint area to weaken. I think with a smaller and lighter showerhead this would still be working great, but one of us is over 6 foot tall, and the other a bit over 5, so our big showerhead gets moved up and down a lot, and this design isn't good for constant adjustment. Otherwise, the filtering of the water is good.

great fiter

Let me start by saying I am a walking Wikipedia when it comes to water and water filtration. I know way more than most plumbers. I have owned Berkey, Doulton,Aquasanas and several other brands of filters. I have made my own filters as well. I grew with a salt type water softener too Where we live now we rent and I am not putting in a whole house filter. This filter does every bit as good as an average 3 stage whole house filter! We have super hard water and it takes all the rust and sediment right out! It works GREAT with a hand held 1.5 GPM shower head too. Our skin and hair is softer and cleaner. Our tub finally STAYS clean with no hard water spots. I am very very impressed with the quality and price. I know some reviewers whine about installation. Do NOT listen to them. I had ZERO issues installing it. I used a pair of pliers and some white plumber's tape. NO leaks or drips. You do have to adjust it a lil to get just where you want it but that's ok. It does work very well with a hand held shower too.

Has significantly removed a lot of deposits from the shower water as I can tell by the frequency of glass door cleaning required. More importantly I now feel actually clean after my shower and my hair seems to have its old texture and bounce back! I would highly recommend this for people with lots of mineral deposits in their residential water supply as it certainly helps minimize the problem in the shower area. We will have to see how long the filter lasts.

Nach einer Woche habe ich bemerkt dass es immer noch dasselbe Spüren von Kalk auf dem Wasserhahn entstehen. Und dafür habe ich den Filter gekauft, da ich von Haarausfall leide. Der hat aber leider mit Härte des Wassers nichts zu tun. Gar keine Änderung.

Good shower filter with no loss of flow. Need to check the water for cleanliness and update. So far so good

Felt improvement on skin in 1-2 weeks. Very good. Would recommend if you have dry skin which feels itchy after shower. You will get rid of these symptoms after using this shower head. It is a bit pricy so hopefully they will reduce the price of filters in the future.

For now, only few days, work well. Feel a huge difference. Very happy because can be install on a little space where other filter does not. Will update in few months.
