Tools and Hardware Reviews of Culligan WSH-C125 Wall-Mount 10,000 Gallon Capacity Filtered Showerhead, Chrome Finish
Customer Review: Good Shower Head
Summary: 4 Stars
I read several of the reviews talking about shower pressure. When I first installed the showerhead I got teriffic pressure, but it dwindled. I figured it was because the filter, which is supposed to catch stuff, was probably getting full and was getting clogged and slowing down the water. I'm assuming this is correct because the pressure increased significantly when I installed a new filter. The box says to change every six months, which I did. My pressure dropped after about a month. I'm not sure if that says something about my water or that the filter just isn't great.
When the pressure is good, the massage setting is great. It makes noise, but it feels good. When the pressure is lower, which, by the way, is not that low, the regular setting is much better, and gives a good wide spray.
Overall, I liked the showerhead, but I'm wondering if the filters should be changed more often, or if they need to improve on the quality of the filter.
Oh, I also wanted to comment on someone's review about hard water. I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that water filters, in general, don't take care of hard water. For hard water you'll need a water softener. That applies to all filters. I'm not aware of any that take care of hard water. But, as I said, I'm not an expert.
Enjoy.

This does removes Cl from the water. I think it has standard Cu-Zn alloy powder insies. Easy to install and no leaks. However, it is pain to change shower settings (thats why 3 stars). Also, water flow is bit on higher end.Customer Review: Good Showerhead for the Money
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using the Culligan Filtered Showerhead for about four months. It softens the hard water that comes from my boiler, and eliminates the slight sulfur smell that it carried. Dry skin is markedly reduced, without a change in soap. The showerhead achieves a useful increase in water pressure, and offers several pleasant settings.
Construction is a bit flimsy: this is chromed plastic, not brass or steel. Once mounted, you wouldn't know it. Water pressure has twice broken through the seal to the filter compartment. Simply unscrewing the compartment a few turns, then screwing it back in, resolves the issue.
This is not a lifetime piece of plumbing, but it does what it claims, affordably and unobtrusively. I would recommend it.
Customer Review: Good filter, not a great shower head
Summary: 3 Stars
As many of the reviews for this product indicate, the unit does seem to do a very good job of filtering the water supply and removing the chlorine odor. Just be aware of the head design. See all those little nozzles? They point straight out (no flare) and the front of the shower head is flat. As a result, the shower stream is EXTREMELY narrow.
Measured 18-20" from the shower head, the water cone is barely the width of a dollar bill. That's a tight spread and your shoulders are out of the water if the shower is aimed at the middle of your back. There is no adjustment to widen the water spray. This may not bother everyone. However, if you like a wide spray, buy an inline filter and use the shower head of your choice.
I wish I had understood just how narrow the water stream was before I purchased this unit. This is my only complaint about an otherwise quality unit.
Customer Review: Good for low water pressure.
Summary: 5 Stars
We're on a well with pretty poor water pressure to begin with. I was worried that the filter would slow it to a trickle. Not a problem. There is a flow-restrictor in the connector that is easy to remove, and with that done, the flow is as good is it was before I installed the filter.
