New Wave Enviro Shower Replacement Cartridge 1 Unit

This is a copy of the review I have had on Amazon for several years. I've been using this filter system for well over TWENTY-FIVE YEARS. Need I say more? OK, I will. My hair and skin are awesome. My peers use conditioner on their hair... me? rarely. And, I usually have long hair. (fine, blonde) I can go a month or more without using lotion on my skin as long as I am getting enough EFA's from my food. I have used this system in Washington, D.C.; Arlington, VA; Los Angeles, CA; and now in Salem, OR. The latter two have very hard water. Until I have great well water I'll keep using it. And even then if the water is really hard I may still. I really notice the difference when I visit family back East as they don't have this in their shower. Depending on the area where you live, will dictate how often you need to change the filter. In LA, every 8 months, Salem, every year. PS The housing* that holds the cartridge is just starting to look like it is going to split vertically at the threads that connect to the water inlet pipe do-hicky. I noticed that the last filter change I did. Hows that for value on the dollar, easy-ish on the Environment etc? It will be interesting to see how much longer I can get out of the housing before the plastic just shatters. *The housing is still going strong, after a filter change. The original review was a couple of years ago.... ps, the price here? AWESOME!

The water in my area is heavily treated with chloramines, a combination of chlorine and ammonia. This filter removes it! Makes the water pure, fresh, healthy: No odor, no red eyes when showering. And the glass and tile in the shower do not get a white residue on them. It lasts for about a year then needs to be replaced, which is very easy to do.
