abunda_amazon_reviews I placed the order for this filter in May of 2014. I love the idea of this filter and could tell that it worked. All that used the shower could tell that their hair and skin were not dry when they finished showering. Why would it be, there was no chlorine in the water. For that, I am grateful, it lived up to it's intended purpose. You may ask why two stars and the answer is simple. This is September 2015 and I have been trying to figure out why, for the last month, the water seems to have been leaking from what I thought was the connection between the pipe and the filter. I was busy and simply turned down the water to prevent water from showering my surrounding floor and walls thinking that I had to make the time to check it out. Well, I did that today and lo and behold, the Rainshow'r CQ-1000-NH has developed a thin crack along the bottom of the filter. How does something like that even happen. It's not like it is taken off and on. We don't abuse it. We don't beat it with shampoo bottles. We don't do anything but take showers. The only time it was taken off was to replace the inner filter and yet the housing itself is cracked. Was this housing really built to last 15 months? I guess so because that is exactly how long it lasted and we are very disappointed.;;Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2015;;2.0 out of 5 stars;;Not all it's cracked up to be;;KNY;;/gp/customer-reviews/R2Z8DNCGJ1YCRI/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000N4P7G0;;;After tons of research, I landed on this filter. Out of the box it looks a bit skeptical but after using it I love it. It has all the filter components of the popular quality shower filters plus it uses quartz to energize the water as it passes through. This was the bonus selling factor for me, and I can feel the difference. There is also a very well respected water store in the city that personally vouches for this filter above all others.

But I wasn't sure would it work with my hand-held shower head. I figured, well, it's got standard threads, it OUGHT to at least fit ... but would it work with my hand-held? I was tired of the chlorine out-gasses in my shower water. I was also tired of dry skin and drying hair. Not only does it work perfectly, it's a breeze to install. First, I bought plumber's tape. Then, I removed my existing shower head. Then I wrapped the threads with the plumber's tape, a few wraps, making sure I had "just the right tension" and was wrapping in the direction of the threads and therefore the direction I was going to be screwing the filter and shower head back on. Clearly, working with a hand-held ought to be in this item's product description. The entire installation process took only a few minutes. There were virtually NO leaks! Plus, I've had it now for a few weeks and already my skin isn't dry any more and my hair is holding healthy moisture.;;Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2014;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;LOVE this filter! Works PERFECTLY with my hand-held shower head!;;Liz Severino;;/gp/customer-reviews/R2CFZVTJN8ISV8/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000N4P7G0;;;I live in San Diego, and our tap water is extremely hard, which is one of the reasons I got this filter. Mineral residues build up quickly in shower and sink, attracting mold and mildew and bacteria. This filter cut that easily in half, and even after several months, kept doing a great job. When I did change it, it was chock full of mineral deposits and blackish materials from the tap. Stuff that I would have been washing with. Yuck! It's an excellent little filter at the right price. The only caution is that the threads on either end are molded from the same soft plastic as the exterior. So, if you are mounting the filter on a threaded metal pipe, its very easy to damage the threads which can lead to leakage.;;Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2015;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Gets the job done--excellent value;;Boyd Martin;;/gp/customer-reviews/RVI0CQF59L2HJ/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000N4P7G0;;;We've been using this filter for a few weeks now. It's made a huge difference in my hair. I have naturally wavy/curly hair and it's brought out the curl more and definitely made my hair less frizzy. I can actually wash my hair, air dry it and not have to style it and it looks pretty good. I've been getting tons of compliments on my hair since I've started using it. I purchased an extra long hose for our handheld shower head so that I can also fill the bathtub using the shower as to receive the benefits that way as well. Wish list: Wish it filtered out more than just chlorine & wish it could withstand really hot water (it's not supposed to be as effective when used with hotter water). I purchased a second filter for our other bathroom and have recommended it to friends and family.;;Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2016;;4.0 out of 5 stars;;Big difference with my hair!;;ZZinMN;;/gp/customer-reviews/R1RH5WXLJ8TRWI/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000N4P7G0;;;Activated carbon filters are often used to remove chlorine, and they do. However, carbon media is not well suited for heated water. Carbon is an excellent media for whole house filtering, and whether or not that is in place, this filter and its KDF media is still a good idea in the shower. I recommend both filters to anyone who may drink, wash, or inhale steam from the water supply. I educated myself on the subject when my wife's skin recently become very adverse to even the smallest amounts of chlorine, and this filter has changed her life. Filter life and performance is a function of water flow, shower duration and frequency, and the quality of the water. It's like using a napkin to clean up a smudge or an oil spill. We are in north Texas where the water is supplied from the lakes. Ten months out of the year the difference in chlorine content of the water in and out of the filter is barely measurable, yet due to her sensitivity, and perhaps other impurities, her skin can tell the difference. In the summer, when the city has to treat the water more aggressively, this filter is up to the job, and puts a large dent in the chlorine content. With any filter of this type, the lower the flow, the better the results; the more time the water spends in the media, the more impurities removed. For example, one should keep the flow restrictor in the shower head. If your chlorine content is really high, you could place two filters in series.;;Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2014;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Does exactly what it should, in a shower application.;;chrispalo;;/gp/customer-reviews/R1865BENJC07EE/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000N4P7G0
