What is Reddit's opinion of 15-Stage Shower Filter - Shower Head Filter - Chlorine Filter - Hard Water Filter - Water Softener - Showerhead Filter - 2 Replaceable Filter Cartridges - Water Filter for Shower Head - Chrome?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Hi! I have the same problem. I got this shower filter and I like it a lot! I also do a clarifying wash once a month or so. I alternate between the Ion Hard Water Shampoo and the Ouai Detox Shampoo.

I've noticed that my hair is softer and gets less greasy. My skin is much happier, also!

here you go

You’re talking about something like this? 15-Stage Shower Filter - Shower Head Filter - Chlorine Filter - Hard Water Filter - Water Softener - Showerhead Filter - 2 Replaceable Filter Cartridges - Water Filter for Shower Head - Chrome https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01M08G9D5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_i_FYZTHTT1Q8F3X9YAC2P5

It could work, I’m currently looking at RO systems for my house as a long term fix.

I think they are talking about something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/10-Stage-Shower-Filter-Showerhead-Replaceable/dp/B01M08G9D5 It's designed to soften your water just for that one application, replacing the need to install a whole-home water softener. I have no idea how effective these things are though.

To answer OP's question, I've lived in houses in Edmonton without water softeninig and with. I got used to both within about a month of living there. I think it's just a personal preference rather than a "need".

Yeah so far that's what I was thinking too but I'm hoping to find something I wouldn't need to renovate the kitchen too much to install since I'm not sure the building owner would be on board with that... And here's the shower filter I got https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01M08G9D5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_D2LsFb2C62FG7 just screwed it in before the shower head and works perfectly, I don't get why this doesn't exist for a sink lol 😅🤔😛

I used blue dawn dish soap and lemon juice as a clarifying wash. Sally's has one specifically for this though. It's by Ion.

The shower filter I got off amazon https://www.amazon.ca/10-Stage-Shower-Filter-Showerhead-Replaceable/dp/B01M08G9D5 It has transformed my toddler's dry hair in 1 week. I dont use products or shampoo on her hair so I know it works

Rice water after shampoo

Boil 1 cup of rice in 6 cups of water and let simmer for 30 mins Strain rice. Use water on hair. Eat mushy rice if you're cheap AF like I am. Throw out if you arent

Deep conditioner: Nothing works better for me than my regular conditioner with 1 tablespoon of honey and 1 teaspoon of olive oil mixed. I let sit for 20 minutes under a cap dryer. I loved Shea Moistures manuka honey and Mafura oil masque but for some it is too heavy.

I just installed one of these on my shower head. Brings up the Ph a bit but works really well. Easy to install.

Edit- removes chlorine and chloramine

Edit 2 - will soften your water also

Hey, I was useful today!

The shower filters I looked at were fairly cheap (~C$40), and just fit behind the shower-head. If you know how teflon tape works, it would be easy to do yourself. Unscrew shower-head. Take off old tape. Screw filter over new tape to the wall. Screw shower-head over new tape onto filter.

I know when I was a grad student I always changed my shower-head without telling the landlord, then put the old one back when I moved out.

Well, your post inspired me to re-order and got a cheaper one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M08G9D5. I did a bit of reading, and this cheaper one has the same ingredient as aquasana, KDF 55. You'll find KDF55 in a bunch of other filters. The alternative is Vitamin C filters, but those seem to not last very long.

If you have a skin rash, I wouldn't delay getting one, your skin will not get used to it. Also, take short showers with mild water. Hot water will make things worse, and it will reduce the life of your filters.

One more tip: buy some natural lotion, (coconut oil, shea butter, jojoba oil, MCT oil, etc) and apply while while you're still wet out of the shower. Use the towel after lotion application. Using lotion with chemicals might make your skin even worse.

Shower Filter. This one!

Sure! I use both of these filters and they’re both great:

^^this one is best for value$$. Along with the filter, it comes with 2 cartridges. This is also the first ever filter I got, it was easier through Amazon and I wanted to try it out. It says 1 cartridge lasts 6 months but I personally changed every 4 months or so. It’s been great.

^ this is the 2nd I recently purchased. It’s “sprite shower filter”. Through reviews and looking a Reddit posts this seemed to be pretty good and I got it in the store. I just started using it so I can’t say much but it does seem great so far. This one only comes with one cartridge(majority of them do) so after 4-6 months I would need to purchase a sprite cartridge. But tbh at this point idc lmao about purchasing cartridges since it’s helping my hair.

I use this one from Amazon. I have always had hard water, but got this a few weeks ago and I really like it!

I bought this one from Amazon
