Actual Customer Feedback:

"Wellness shower filters are the most expensive brand on the market. They are so much more expensive than other chlorine removing shower filters that you might think they are the best.
If you really believe that, then go ahead and buy wellness shower filters, but most of us would rather have chemical and chlorine removing shower filters that do the same job for less. Here's a look at why wellness shower filters cost so much."
Portion of Actual User Comment on LIFEGUARD website

Apart from the massive difference in the replacement and purchase cost compared to the Aquasana AQ-4100, Water Filters Review recognises the advanced technology used in these filters. However, when price and performance are traded off, this filter falls short against the cheaper yet technically proficient Aquasana unit.
