Tools and Hardware Reviews of Shower Filtration System with Handheld Massaging Shower Head
Customer Review: Disregard the guy that says it "literally stinks"
Summary: 5 Stars
The aquasana shower head wand combo smells like any other new piece of plastic and rubber. A shower or two later and the vinyl smell is all gone. My guess is that they guy that is complaining about the vinyl smell either has a real sensitive sniffer or is simply a moron looking for something to complain about.
The system works great! We get great pressure through it and our skin and hair is already softer after only a week of use. I live in an area with treated public water but it comes through old, galvanized lines. This leads to hardness which leads to dry skin. It isn't as bad here as in some places so spending $80 to $100 for this setup plus an annual filter change seems like a heck of a deal compared to buying a full house water softener that we don't really need elsewhere in the house.
Customer Review: Good Filter - Poor Shower Head
Summary: 3 Stars
There is no doubt that the filter improves the shower - our skin is not nearly so dry and itchy. We recently let our filter stay in to long, and when we changed to a new filter, felt an immediate difference.
HOWEVER the wand portion split after less than a year and though they replaced it and gave good service, we had to pay $12 for shipping. ?! It was a chaotic time of life and I didn't have the time to argue.
Now the place where the shower head and hose meet have sprung several leaks. We just put our old shower head on and it works fine - but we are very disappointed.
Go for the filter - do your own shower head.
Customer Review: Great - Better than expected
Summary: 5 Stars
I've noticed a great improvement on my shower quality. Hair feels cleaner/softer. I will continue to buy future replacement filters because of the positive change.Customer Review: Live in an area of hard water?
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using it for several days. My hair
feels much better. I would recommend this
one. One weebit of a problem...The plastic used
in the making of this product leaves a strong
ordor in the air. Hopefully it will go away.
Customer Review: My Aquasana STINKS....Literally! Help!
Summary: 1 Stars
I just installed my Aquasana AQ-4105. IT SMELLS LIKE MELTING VINYL!!
I've been running the water through it for about an hour and a half now and there is still a horrible vinyl-like odor coming from the water. Something from the hose or casing is definitely out-gasing into the filtered water.
I'd hate to think that I believed I was doing something good for my health when in reality I could be showering in water that is more toxic than the unfiltered water I started out with.
Before installation my water had no odor at all. I'm concerned that the Aquasana AQ-4150 is adding some toxic plastic based chemical (benzene?) to the water. I'm surprised that only one other person has mentioned this. My entire apartment smells of this "chemical."
I wish I didn't make this costly improvement to my shower! UGH!!! BLECH!!!
