                                       - It does not change the water pressure in any way
- Great product for the price and my biggest concern of water pressure being affected negatively (in my already low pressured apartment), was unwarranted!
- I installed my own shower head with Aquasana's filter, and the water pressure was just superb! I also love that I don't have to use Aquasana's shower head to get beautiful clear water.
- The water pressure is still great, no reduction there
- The biggest issue I have is the pressure is a bit too strong.
Jonathan Product AS100-11 Water Shower Filter System
                                       - I live with well water and the mineral content is high, no matter how many carbon filters you put on your system. I finally installed this on my shower and I am so happy with this product.
- The three spray settings on the shower head cover all your potential wants.
- This is a great shower filter. I have had the shower filter for a week and immediately all the gas is gone from the shower.
- Love this shower head and filter. I am a hairstylist with platinum blonde hair and have constantly had issues with my shower water drying out my hair and also turning it a brassy tone
- This shower head has saved me. My hair feels normal and soft. I love it. Not sure how long the filter lasts because i just installed it..but im thrilled with this purchase.

                                       - It definitely changes the water, and makes it softer
- One shower is all it takes to see the difference! I would highly recommend this for anyone who doesn't want to pay exorbitant prices for a whole-house water filtration system.
- We were also getting hard water stains and we have a pretty good filtration system on this house.
- I had one and recently bought another. I am very satisfied with the water filtration
- This is definitely not a keeper. I therefore cannot rate the filtration system, since the product is not usable as a shower. The most useless product I've purchased to date.
Jonathan Product AS100-11 Water Shower Filter System
                                       - The water just felt so different and wonderful and has done wonders for my hair and skin. My hair is coming back to life!!! It's soft, shiny, full of life, and I can't stop touching my hair.
- This filter system is a God-send. All those years of frustration, instead of hair, washed down the drain as my hair has gotten softer.
- This filter has changed my life! I waited about a month to review even thought it was awesome from day 1!
- Not a bad filter. I live in a rental with well water and we do not have it filtered in any way shape or form.
- Make sure to look at the cost for this system's future cartridge replacement before buying. Filters last approximately a month.

                                       - I will say it is a well-made unit and a snap to install. The provided showerhead is even fairly decent.
- I was half expecting it to leak where the filter connects to the shower pipe, because other reviews stated that happening, but a decent stream comes out of the filter itself.
- This is why this product gets 4 stars instead of 5. As mentioned in other reviews, the hose ends were troublesome.
- Well, a week after that posting, I noticed that the part of the hose that connects it to the handle was cracked.
- It leaks at the connection to the filter itself even after trying to adjust the tightness.

                                       - We did need to use a little plumbing tape to keep the connection from leaking, but that's probably because her fitting was a little old.
- It's a bit bulky because of the filter. However, I opted to keep my own shower head. My shower head connected right up to this with no issues. F
- Not all plastic parts. Very easy to assemble and the only note I would have is be sure and catch the water when first used.
- I highly dislike that the plastic has changed color over time into this ugly cream.
- Overall quality is good as far as holding up so far with the exception of the plastic color.
