Philips Water in-Line Shower Filter and 1 Replacement Cartridge, 50 000 L Filtration Capacity, White, Reduces Chlorine by up to 99%, Easy to Install, fits All Standard Hoses and taps

Install was easy and I've noticed very little if any loss of pressure after 2 weeks of use. I brought it to help eczema, and so far it seems to have help a bit. It's certainly helping to soften the water, which is very noticeable when washing our hair.

I live in an area of very hard water which causes skin irritation. I looked at several devices to deal with this and settled for Phillips' version. It seems to be working with noticeable reduction in skin irritation. It is solidly made and is straightforward to use install and use (just turn on the shower as usual). It is very presentable and looks efficient. But ... To install it has to be opened and this not easy. It was hard work to separate the top from the bottom to access the filter inside. I avoided using tools to avoid scratching the filter. Anyone with poor grip will struggle and may need help. Once opened the renewable filter itself must be removed. I had to resort to the careful use of a pair of pliers. Once done it was comparatively easy to reassemble and install. I am not looking forward to replacing the internal filter.

I have an itchy scalp due so much limescale it definitely helped my scalp. However, The first time I bought the filter it was pretty much impossible to open the top but managed at the end. Then I bought second one,the top opened with no issue but the cartridge got stuck inside,I was unable to remove it to remove the seal. So I returned it yesterday and got replacement today. And I thought ,not again, cartridge got stuck again. I ended up putting scissors which are quite thick and tried lifting the top of the cartridge without damaging the seal and it worked. This is the reason I gave 4 stars. I hope it helps . But overall filter is nice and looks quite nice.

This filter is not like a vitamin shower filter to remove chlorine with added perfume from South Korea . It doesn’t add anything much but it’s very cost efficient. For my usual cost of one month, this filter can work 4-6months .the Longevity is not yet tested by myself, but I can see my hair health dramatically improved within just two days use ! I started suffering from hair losses these days and I knew that it might be the water quality deterioration . I had bought 2 other similar products but no effects . My bouncy beautiful shiny hairs got gradually thinner and thinner and harder and eventually cut by themselves to shock me . My floor had blond hairs around my mirror as if I have a big dog at home .I was desperate to stop loosing more hairs and ordered this filter. Now sorted ! My hairs are visibly recovering. This filter seemed to have managed to eliminate chlorine or any harmful chemicals in water . I saw my water spitting dark water and swans in the river got dark feathers . It has been endless efforts to buy new filters and the high quality and honest products are rare . It takes time to import and I could not wait anymore. I had wasted so much money with not South Korea products . This came straight without waiting time by prime and the installation took literally 1 -2 minute. It doesn’t beautify my skin like vitamin showers but delightful for hairs without worrying about my wallet. If you notice any hair damages , worth trying this . I am so happy to have tried this finally and relieved to be out of worries for 6 months !

I PURCHASED THE FILTER WITH MY OWN MONEY AND HAVE NO AFFILIATION TO THIS OR ANY OTHER AMAZON SELLERS. Do not buy if you actually have skin condition or dry hair and live in London or anywhere where water is treated with chloramine - it will not filter any chlorine from your water. I USED THIS FILTER FOR WEEKS BEFORE WRITING THIS REVIEW. When using this filter, I still continued to have the burning sting I receive from chlorinated water on the area of my skin with my eczema flareup. I then purchased two separate water quality tests to check chlorine level, PH and water hardness. I also tested normal water straight from the tap in my house and distilled water (as a control). Now although I used 2 separate tests, I conducted each test 3 times. The straight from tap water and ‘filtered’ water produced the same result for chlorine and hardness, the only difference was PH. The distilled water had different results, showing me that the test actually worked (but the filter didn’t). The filter uses ‘KDF’ but it does not mention which KDF media it uses. I suspect it is KDF 55 as KDF 55 can only filter water where only chlorine is used but not where ammonia is added to the chlorine to treat water (to make the treatment last longer), as is the case in London and many cities in UK (and around the world). That is why many other filters you can purchase that use KDF 55 also include vitamin C, carbon or other similar layers (to provide greater filtration). Some even use KDF 85, which also filters chlorine compounds like chloramine. I emailed the support email to ask what other filters they had - they refused to answer. I then asked on Amazon for anyone who had used the product for at least a month to confirm whether it worked - the seller removed my question! It does look okay and I where it’s placed on a mixer. Negative points: 1. Does not filter much of the water we use in homes in cities. 2. Difficult to remove (I had to replace it with one from another company that actually works). 3. Difficult to change filters - I tried to open it once it took it out and found it too difficult. 4. Getting information about it was difficult as my question was fraudulently removed and no one answered my emails. Good things: 1. Easy installed 2. Easy to purchase filter replacements There are filters out there that I have found to work for my water supply - improve the softness and quality of the water. My skin and hair can attest to that.

Purchased this as my son is struggling badly with eczema at the moment and a few people have mentioned the high chlorine levels in local water and how filters have really helped them so I figured we would lose nothing by trying this and Philips tends to be a well known / reputable brand. Its a neat bit of kit and super easy to install. We’ve been using it for a few weeks now and my son says he feels like the water stings his skin less but overall it doesn’t seem to have made any physical difference. Obviously I have no way of knowing whether thats just because water isn’t a contributing factor or whether the filter just isn’t very effective. Compared to some of the filters out there this is reasonably priced.

Very good item, I use this regularly fits my shower perfectly. Since using the itching I get from hard water has reduced.

I bought this to protect my hair and skin from hard water, and it works brilliantly! However, I saw a lot of reviews from people saying they couldn't get the top of the filter open to put the cartridge in or change it. It can be incredibly stiff right out of the box, but don't panic. The ultimate trick to open it: If the metal casing won't budge, run the top part of the filter under hot tap water (or dip it in a mug of boiling water) for about 30 seconds. The heat expands the metal slightly and loosens the factory seal. Grab it with a dry towel for extra grip, and it will twist right open! Also, a heads-up if your old shower hose is stuck tightly due to limescale: when you twist it off, the internal plastic tube might slide out of its metal sleeve. If that happens, just dip the plastic tube in hot water for 30 seconds to make it soft and stretchy, push the brass connector piece back in until it's flush, and slide the metal sleeve back up. It fits perfectly now, there are zero leaks.Now I’ll just have to see the results over time on my hair and skin, but I’m so excited! Deffo recommend it!

Amazing product however I did not receive a replacement cartridge. Super happy with my purchase but they need to remove replacement cartridge from the product title

Bonne qualité

Fonctionne bien ,peau plus douce et plus de calcaire

Io penso che faccia il suo lavoro. Ho notato la differenza fin dal primo utilizzo. Capelli più morbidi, pelle più sana. Purtroppo ho le tubature arrugginite, si intasa a ogni doccia ed è un lavoraccio pulirlo sempre. Quindi sconsiglio se si hanno problemi simili ma non per l'articolo in sé.

Ben blij mee!
