Tools and Hardware Reviews of Culligan WHR-140 Replacement Shower Filter Cartridge for WSH-C125, HSH-C135, ISH-100 Shower Units
Customer Review: I'm Sold
Summary: 5 Stars
I initially approached this purchase with a lot of skepticism, but I figured at its cheap price it wasn't much to lose. But after reading some of the reviews on this site I was hopeful that there would be some benefit. For me the difference is night and day. We have very chlorinated water where I live, and it has caused bad eczema flare ups. All the lotions and prescription creams couldn't contain the flareups, but this little thing has all but eliminated them. I'm totally shocked how effective it is at removing chlorine. The only negative I would say is that these only seem to last about a month for me until I start seeing symptoms again, but I'll gladly pay $14 a month for healthy skin. Can anyone else comment on how long these last for you?Customer Review: IT WORKS! AND ITS CHEAP!

I would say you have to replace the filter every 2-3 months not 6 but you will notice an instant difffrenceCustomer Review: It Does Work!
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using these for a few years now, they noticeably affect the hardness of the water, and you can, especially for the first few weeks, really feel the difference..at least we can.
So the filter does work, no doubt about it, and all you have to do is shake it out after a few weeks in your sink, to see all of the gunk and brownish-colored impurities it traps. That stuff would otherwise be in your hair and skin - which is just gross (no one should shower or drink unfiltered tap water in this day and age).
It removes the chlorine smell and will have a positive effect on your hair and skin over time (if not immediately).
A water source filtration system is ideal of course, but if you rent or are unable to buy one, this is the next best thing.
My one complaint is that they don't last all that long, it's hard to tell just how long they do work at an optimal level, so I just go by the "feel" of the water (maybe 3 months at best).
It is advised to turn it over after a month or two, if not sooner, shake it out and knock it against your sink for a while, to loosen up the particles inside and get some of the dirt out, then run your shower for a minute or two before actually taking a shower (you'll see a lot of brown water come out again initially, before it turns clear again).
I would also prefer recyclable materials be used (thus the 4 star rating).
Customer Review: LOVE THIS!
Summary: 5 Stars
I never believed in filtering shower water until a friend asked me to manage his Contractor company in NYC. Every Luxury renovation specifies filters for showers and kitchen sinks, so i decided to see what the hubbub was about. After talking to my plumber, he recommended this filter as a fairly innexpensive version of the ones we install.
I noticed the difference immediately! There was no cracked, streached skin after the shower. A friend came to visit me and before she went back to Canada, ordered a shower head and five replacement filters!
I highly recommend it. Pick the shower head you like then enjoy the result!
Customer Review: No more chlorine vapors
Summary: 5 Stars
These filters are part of the Culligan shower head and are simple to change out once the shower head is installed (which is also quite easy to do). We do not have any chlorine smell in the shower and the shower stays cleaner longer. I like the fact that I can reverse the filter after 6 months and get even more life. Every shower in my home has these and we are all healthier for it. No hard science to back up my opinion, but we had a distinct odor before installing these and it is gone now. We have used these for about 9 months now and have just bought the first replacement filters which prompted this review.
