Aquasana Shower Filter - AQ 4100 Water Filter

Comes complete with the two-stage filter cartridge that lasts 6 months (replacements cost $42.00 semi-annually with auto-ship) and the deluxe Niagara adjustable pressure shower head, handheld shower wand available.

Stage 1 removes chlorine and enhances pH balance with a natural copper/zinc mineral media called KDF-55D. The second filtration stage uses a carbonized coconut shell medium for the removal of synthetic chemicals, THMs and VOCs that vaporize from tap water and are inhaled or absorbed through the skin, potentially causing adverse health and cosmetic effects.

Feedback & Overview
Actual Customer Feedback:
"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."
