What is Reddit's opinion of AquaBliss Multi-Stage Shower Filter w/ Replaceable Cartridge – Transform Itching, Eczema & Acne into Glowing Hair, Nails and Skin Fast. Chrome SF220?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Added to my shower head after the fact!

I got an AquaBliss shower filter off of Amazon. It’s like $34 and really helped fix my hair. You can find my pre-filter hair after my move to Colorado in my post history.

I sleep with a humidifier too! I don’t know if that makes a difference, though!

Recent transplant here. My aversion wasn't as strong as yours, but my first reaction to the tap water was similar. Some things you can do:

​

• First, make sure it's the tap water and not your body. Anything from a sinus infection to COVID to kidney disease can affect your sense of taste and smell. If bottled water tastes fine, ok.
• Invest in a carbon filter for drinking water -- Brita pitcher, or one that attaches to your faucet. If your refrigerator has a water dispenser, make sure its filter isn't old.
• Same for your shower. I had terribly dry skin due to the hardness and/or chlorine, and noticed a difference within a day after installing an AquaBliss shower filter -- Amazon link
• Consider getting it tested. Most hardware stores sell kits in the $17-$35 range. Some require it be sent to their lab; others just have test strips and an app. Home Depot in Beaver Creek has a couple in stock right now.
• Probably a long shot, but if it's affecting your health: Determine if it's the municipal source or your home's plumbing. See if a neighbor's (different building) tap water tastes as bad as yours. Isolate for whether either of you have a water softener on the cold water line.

This! I too have a sensitivity to the water at my home and got one of those cheap shower head water filters off of Amazon. They're pretty easy to install, and is say 95% fixed my issue. Well worth the money.

Edit: This is the one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G7AZB96/

I use a shower filter! You can get one on Amazon for like $30 so it's not too bad and tbh it has made a big difference in my skin so I find it to def. be worth it! https://www.amazon.com/AquaBliss-Universal-Replaceable-3-Stage-Cartridge/dp/B01G7AZB96/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1472572964&sr=8-4&keywords=shower+filter

Elidel is RX, yes. It’s the only thing I’ve found to help with the flaking.

I have both rosacea and seb derm like yourself. I have done hours of research, so I know well what is safe to use for both conditions and what will worsen each one. Vitamin E oil is safe. I owned the one from Natures Bounty because they’re also a supplement brand so it’s high quality.

The filter I have goes on, then you install your shower head back on after. A filter won’t work for all water, and your water very well may not be the issue. Where I live has a lot of chlorine (I think?) in the water. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G7AZB96/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_6G91W735QRNFARWNV3B1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Omg I’m so sorry to hear that! Please keep us updated. I know you’re looking at diet too. That can be huge!

They also make shower filters like this: AquaBliss High Output Universal Shower Replaceable Multi Stage Filter Cartridge-Chrome (SF220), 1 Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G7AZB96/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_3HBUFbW0VFQ9F?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

It could be something in your household water. Especially if there is a metal in your water.

The bulb before the shower head looks like a hard water filter. If it hasn't been changed recently it can clog up and cause low pressure. You can unscrew it where the ridges are to reveal the filter cartridge. The shower head might also have a filter from the size of it and may need to be changed as well, but I'm not sure why a landlord would put both.

I went with this one

Yeah, the whole house softener is a better option, but I was living in an apartment at the time and this little device really did a lot of benefit for me. Got rid of the heavy, liftless feel I had been experiencing since I moved in there.

I applaud your desire, but 221 parts per million of total dissolved solids is actually pretty good. The World Health Organization says that water with a TDS (total dissolved solids) of 1,000 PPM is “acceptable” and under 600 PPM is “good.”

You can do all that you've researched. I have no idea how long you will get out of those filters. Gallons per year is going to determine their longevity; but I wouldn't be surprised if this costs several hundred dollars a year to maintain.

You'd be better off (read as cheaper) to install an R.O. system for drinking, but leave the rest of the house (dishwasher, clothes washer, and toilets) on city water. If you want a nice shower, look at the cartridges:

Seems like a lot of work for a few hundred parts per million; but of course it is entirely your call.

Here's the one I picked up. I researched for a while because there's so many options out there and I've been pretty satisfied with it. Both skin and hair wise.

I'm sure you'll find a technique that works for you. That's the thing with NP.. there's so many different variables going in, it's truly trial and error. Good luck!

Recently did the same thing. I haven't quite got it figured out but it's getting better.

After I co-wash i do a ACV rinse then condition again. I also wash my hair with ION shampoo from sally's every other week. By far the most improvement I saw was when I bought a filter for my shower.

Super easy to install, just unscrew your shower head screw this on and then attach your shower head back on. No tools needed! It doesn't filter all the minerals out. They have ones that do but they are expensive and require a bit more work. This did help immensely though.

Like i said, my hair is nowhere near what it was when I moved to Florida 2 months ago but it a hell of a lot better than it was a week after I got down here. Before I installed the filter I was having a hard time combing my hair when it was completely saturated with conditioner.

Good luck!

Edit : Just re-read and saw your did try a new shower head. Damn.

Have you looked at lower volume options like an osmosis filter or one of these?:

Multi-Stage Filter Cartridge https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G7AZB96/

Get a whole filter if you want, but are your only real issues in teh shower? If so, they make some shower heads that have filters built in. This is super easy to do, but again, just a point of fuse.

This one goes in line before yoru own head https://www.amazon.com/AquaBliss-Universal-Replaceable-3-Stage-Cartridge/dp/B01G7AZB96/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1473305651&sr=8-3&keywords=shower+filter
