Tools and Hardware Reviews of Shower Filter Replacement Cartridge For AQ-4125Customer Review: Issues Summary: 3 Stars
I hope this will help anyone who is thinking about this product. I'm a fish tank hobbyest and when I saw this product it fascinated me that Aquasana used the same basic principles for our shower that you would used for a conventional fish tank water filter. I went ahead and purchased it, trying to be as healthy as I can. It worked for about two months then I noticed a significant reduction in water pressure. I contacted customer service and they explained simply that the filter media was defective and they will ship me a new one free of charge. I received and installed the new one and for a time everything was well again. Then the pressure got low once again. Again I contacted customer service and now they explained that because I live in New York City and our water pipe system is "quite old" that there is an abnormally large amount of sediment in our water which will clog the filter pre-maturely. They gave me the next filter discounted (Not by much) and informed me that I need to get a sediment filter, but they didn't provide such a device, so they referred me to another company. A "Pre-Filter, Water Filter" is what they said what I needed. So I gave it shot, then found out that I had to change the "Pre-Filter, Water Filter" media every week, maybe week and a half. I tried to keep up with the maintenance and for about four and a half month the filter lasted. Then the pressure went away again. I tried to remove the media from the shower head but it was stuck. I even put a vice grip to it and a couple of friends try and help with work gloves, nothing. My guess is so much pressure built up inside of basically sealing itself shut. I called customer service again, now the guy actually had the nerve to tell me that if I sign up for their "Water for life six month subscription" that he well send me a new shower head no charge. Mind you it wasn't even a year yet. So as you see, I had some troubles with this product. Good thing it died when it did, I've read reviews that when the filter started clogging that it would pop, crack, or bust open because of the house or building pressure. I wouldn't want my family or I getting injured. I bought the culligan built in shower head and even though I've read reviews that the Culligan doesn't match up to Aquasana it really seems to work. I've already went through one filter, but they weren't kidding when they said "Up to six months". I put it in November 1st and there was no problem until April 1st. LOL. Never give more than you advertise I guess. Hope this helps everyone. I'm posting this same message on the actual shower head AQ-4100
Description of Shower Filter Replacement Cartridge For AQ-4125The Aquasana Shower Filter has a unique two-stage filter process for the healthiest shower possible.
Stage 1 removes chlorine and enhances pH balance with a natural copper/zinc mineral media called KDF-55D.
Stage 2 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.
Anyone who has ever gone swimming in a chlorinated pool knows how chlorine robs moisture from your skin and hair. What most people don't realize is that typically there is as much or more chlorine in tap water as there is in most swimming pools.
Chlorine strips the natural protective oils from skin and hair, causing excess dryness. Without the harsh effects of chlorine, you'll notice significant cosmetic benefits ... softer skin and hair in a week!
Also, by removing chlorine and other chemicals found in tap water, now known to be a significant source of exposure to harmful VOCs and THMs, you eliminate health risks related to inhalation and skin absorption of these chemicals.
Your shower water will feel better, and will be better for you!
With Aquasana's "Water for Life" cartridge auto-ship program, you'll receive fresh new replacement filters automatically every 6 months at discount pricing ... and FREE shipping!
