About the Product

The Culligan WSH-C125 Showerhead offers a refreshing shower experience by reducing harsh chlorine levels and damaging scale buildup. The filtration system removes the impurities within water that can damage hair follicles and result in dry, itchy scalp. Additionally, by reducing the amount of scale (a hard, filmy residue created by minerals in water), the showerhead is able to give you more of the hydrating nourishment your skin and scalp need.

Enjoy showering in filtered water with a simple attachment to your existing shower line - no tools necessary. The unique two-stage up-flow filter design combines coconut shell carbon and a KDF copper/zinc oxidation process to remove harsh chemicals including chlorine, lead, pesticides, hydrogen sulfides, and other volatile organic compounds from your tap water.

What customers say about "Key Specs"

Culligan WSH-C125 Wall-Mounted Filtered Shower Head

Water pressure is very good for me. Before I took out the flow restrictor inside with a pair of pliers, I wanted to make sure it was necessary. I'm glad I waited. I would not want anything stronger and I like some good water pressure.
This product is essential if you ever find yourself living in an area where the water is not potable.
This is the best money I've spent in a long time! We have well water that's apparently full of iron and even with a water softener it causes mineral build up everywhere.
The water pressure came back about 3/4 of the way. I think because the water has to go through the filter first that it's slowed down at least somewhat. However, it was enough for me to keep the product.
It has multiple settings for different types of patterns but we like the typical full shower setting the best. This is a very good value because you get a functional filter that looks great and is adjustable.

Aquasana AQ-4100 Deluxe Shower Water Filter System

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.

What customers say about "Filtration"

Culligan WSH-C125 Wall-Mounted Filtered Shower Head

Filter slides right in. You just have to pull the tape off both sides.
Chlorine smell is gone. My skin no longer smells like chlorine after I dry off. Doesn't burn the eyes.
The filter really does make for fresh water. I feel more refreshed, less itchy on my scalp, softer skin and hair... it's really better for your.
This is easy to do. The filter has stickers on each side - these need to be removed before use.
This thing is awesome. Attractive, functions, amazing results and cheap filter replacement cost.

Aquasana AQ-4100 Deluxe Shower Water Filter System

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.

What customers say about "Features"

Culligan WSH-C125 Wall-Mounted Filtered Shower Head

Super easy to install. Nothing fancy. Includes some tape for the threads and pops right on.
The shower head was easy to install, I don't have a problem with the spray.
I HAD to remove the water saving feature in order to get enough pressure for the shower head to work properly which is fine.
This shower head is EASY to install. I used a wrench to remove my old head, applied the provided teflon tape on the threads of the pipe, and screwed on the new one after popping in the filtration canister.
The massage feature is nice. It is easy to install and includes teflon tape for a secure fit.

Aquasana AQ-4100 Deluxe Shower Water Filter System

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.
