Customer Review: AQUASAUNA WATER FILTER SYSTEM
Summary: 4 Stars
Noticed a change in the feel and smell of the water immediately, this is a great product. Skin is less dry in the winter, hair has less tangles. You get the best pricing here. Worth the money, fairly easy to install.Customer Review: Issues

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-4100Customer Review: Works Well but Short Life
Summary: 3 Stars
I live in an area with very hard water and old pipes. After a shower here, my fine hair typically feels dry, frizzy and oily, all at the same time no matter what type of shampoo and conditioner I use.
When I first got the Aquasana filter Aquasana AQ-4100 Deluxe Shower Water Filter System with Adjustable Showerhead, it worked great. My hair felt normal again, my soap lathered properly and completely rinsed off. Unfortunately, the filtration effects lessened noticeably within a month and went rapidly downhill from there. I do shower daily but they claim the filter should last six months before needing replacement. I'd say mine lasted two months, max. Given that the replacements are so pricey, it's tough to invest in something that doesn't really last.
Side Note: This product reminds me of the racket the razor companies pull on consumers by charging reasonable prices for the razor itself but ridiculously high prices for replacement blades. Not cool.
Customer Review: Don't buy too many at once!
Summary: 3 Stars
I've been using the aquasana shower system for years now (3 or 4, I think). They work - hair and skin are definitely less dry. I've stuck with them because my family is inhaling less chlorine fumes which is probably a healthy choice. One problem is that a recent filter cartridge turned out to be defective. Aquasana's customer service gave me a "run-around" - we have no record of your purchase, contact the distributor, some of our distributors issue refunds.... Fortunately, amazon.com took back the defective cartridge that had only lasted 6 weeks and gave me a full refund. In the course of my correspondence with Aquasana I learned that they do not replace defective cartridges - they pro-rate the refund for the defective filter over six months from the purchase date. Yikes, don't stock up on these! If you don't use it right away, you could be stuck. On a positive note, I've bought probably 10 of these filters and this is the first one that clogged.Customer Review: OK Product

I really can't say one way or the other if my skin feels or looks better as a result of using this product. It certainly doesn't hurt. The price is not all that bad, either.
I plan on using this product as a preventative measure anyway.
