Aquasana Shower Filter AQ-4100 | Water Filter Reports

"My shower filter arrived in the original packaging, installed in less than 10 minutes and works just fine. The water feels softer, and my wife thinks it has improved the condition of our hair and skin (men, you know we can't tell the freaking difference!)"

"Sticky, brown scum that I had to scrub off at least weekly. This product saves me from all that; I've now gone 3 months without seeing any of this scum. Also, I hadn't used a versatile head like this before which provided a nice rhythm on my stiff neck. I was skeptical with the price initially, now I'm signing up for regular replacements."

"Installed the filter in less than 10 minutes, and I am not handy whatsoever. I have only used it for two days, but there is quite a difference in my skin and hair already. Much softer and feels really clean! So far, I'm very happy with this filter."
