Neutralizes both Chlorine and Chloramine unlike other filters! Mar 11, 2007
By Cleo I have this filter. It does the job well. I believe there are only a few filters on the market that actually filter out both free chlorine and combined chlorine. I believe vitamin C filters can handle both as well.
Most municipalities do not use free chlorine in the water anymore since it evaporates too easily. They use combined chlorine. They combine it with ammonia to create chloramine. KDF filters can't filter out chloramine. That's a known fact. The Sprite contains both KDF and their proprietary Chlorgon. Chlorgon takes care of the chloramine. I've actually tested the filtered water with a chlorine/chloramine tester and found no total chlorine in the filtered water.
Regarding the J. Kennedy's review here, where he writes that it doesn't filter out minerals, he's correct. But there aren't shower filters of this size that can effectively filter out minerals during a warm shower. First, the water in a shower is moving too quickly (2.5 gallons/min). And second, carbon filters, which is used to filter minerals, do not filter efficiently in warm water. Why do you think a Brita filter takes so long to filter the water? And Brita tells you to use COLD water. Don't be fooled by other filters. Just buy a chlorine/chloramine or total chlorine tester at the local pet store and check for yourself.

We have fairly heavy water in Chicago and its highly chlorinated. This filter does not make much of a difference as far as I can tell
Good enough Mar 27, 2008
By A. Beach So far, so good. Haven't noticed a huge difference, but my hair is softer. Haven't done any chlorine test, so I have no quantitive evidence that it works. At least it's not horrifically ugly. :)

Easy Installation. Jan 02, 2007
By J. Kennedy Installation is super easy and does not require any tools. However it is only designed to remove chlorine and will not help removing minerals from hard water.
