Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sprite Massaging Handheld Chlorine Shower Filter Unit with Replaceable Filter pre-installed
Customer Review: works great!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have noticed a big difference with using this filter. My hair is more manageable, less tangles and less breakage. Not to mention my blonde hair no longer gets rusty colored. Plus the shampoo/body wash has more lather. For the price and 6-12 month replacement factor, it deserves 5-stars.Customer Review: Great for hard water
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have hard water like me, this shower filter is a must-have. In fact, I can tell when it's time to change the filter, because my hair gets frizzy and my skin gets rough and dry. While the filters aren't cheap, it's well worth the money for nice skin and hair.Customer Review: The best
Summary: 5 Stars
I really like this hand held, it has great water pressure but can be a gentle spray if you choose.Customer Review: Works Great, Ecellent For Tall People, But Replacing The Filter Cartridges Can Be A Hassle

HELLO AGAIN AMAZON FANS EVERWHERE!!
The public water supply in this area of western Ma is heavily chlorinated; without exaggeration, it often smells like swimming pool water coming out of the tap. As such we use a filter for our shower and another type of filter for our kitchen faucet: PUR 3-Stage Horizontal Faucet Mount WhiteFM-9600B.
We have used this filter a couple years now & we noticed an immediate difference in both the smell of the water and how our skin and hair felt once we started using the device.
This was the second shower filter my wife purchased; the first worked well, but the design extended the length of the shower faucet so far down that I had to bend through my knees quite a bit to fit my 6 foot body under the stream which aggravated me immensely. This unit though screws onto the end of the faucet in a way that raises it up at least 10 inches further then even the original shower head. As an extra bonus the hose allows you to easily remove the shower head and use it to rinse off either yourself or the tub & shower while cleaning.
I do not often switch the water stream off the regular setting, but when I need a little massaging action on a sore back or shoulders it is nice feature to have.
Although I have not had any issues with leaking from a poorly sealed cartridge, as a couple others mentioned, the one nuisance I can report is in changing the cartridges. The original cartridges we got with the unit and refills we purchased earlier were solid white in color. A number of months back I noticed that the the new cartridges we were getting were clear and allowed you to see the filter materials inside. However, I think that since the change in color, it has been my experience, that the new filter cartridge did not simply drop in to the bottom of the unit, rather it was pressed in and seated as I threaded on the shower end. There is where the trouble lies; I have a devil of a time wrestling out the old cartridge.
I like the way the filter mounts to the shower faucet; the extra height is a blessing, I like the filters performance and the easy way you can remove the head unit from its base, I just wish it was not such a PIA to replace the cartridges (I end up removing the hose as well, then pressing something through that opening to push the cartridge out). It is a bit of a challlenge for me, it might be near impossible for my wife.
Customer Review: Best Available but not Great
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very nice hand-held shower head. It hangs too high in my shower, which is a nuisance. And it doesn't allow much water pressure through, which is mandated by law but incredibly aggravating and frustrating. I don't care a fig about the chlorine filter - I chose it because the nozzle (arrangements of holes) was the best I could find.
