2.0 out of 5 stars Could be made better, November 9, 2008

This review is from: Culligan HSH-C135 Level 2 Hand-Held Filtered Chrome Showerhead (Health and Beauty)

This would be a great product if the part that connects to the shower pipe was made of metal instead of plastic. According to the instructions, you are to use a wrench to put the part on even though you are screwing plastic on to metal. I just used my hands to put the part on and it cracked (even though I used plumbers tape as instructed). I went to home depot to see if I could find a metal replacement for it, but they don't sell them. I did however find a plastic replacement which I purchased for $5. I like the product itself as my skin and hair feels better and soap lathers better, however they could have made the part that screws on to the metal shower pipe METAL instead of plastic. Poor design.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great quality, easy to install, poor angle of spray., January 17, 2007

PROS: Showerhead was very easy to install, package includes teflon tape, and the improvement in water quality was instantly apparant. Filter type is almost identicle to filters in showerheads significantly more expensive. Installation instructions were very very clear, with several common troubleshooting remedies included. Appearance is good. Filter is very easy to exchange, cheap to purchase, and present in the head itself, instead of an annoying tank taking up space where you might hang a shower caddy. Good quality, aluminum wrapped hose and connectors. Includes easily removable 'water-saving' pressure regulator for high or low pressure water systems. Massage spray is excellent at high pressure.

CONS: The showerhead sprays water straight out, resulting in a 3 inch column of water that doesn't cover the whole body. If you want a shower that sprays at a wide angle, this one won't. The narrow field of spray is all that kept this showerhead from achieving a five-star review.

MISC: The filter is present in the shower head, which increased the overall weight of the handle to about 1-2 lbs. Handle mounts at the bottom, resulting in a very high overhead shower. All hardware (except pipe joints) is chromed plastic, not solid chrome, which significantly reduces weight, but don't drop the thing, or it's liable to crack just like plastic would. Chromed plastic is very common in showerheads and plumbing appliances.

The above user who had problems with her pressure might want to remove or re-situate her pressure regulator, or inspect her supply pipe for a clog, or contact her landlord or a local plumber to ensure there isn't an overall drop of pressure system-wide. Pressure drops wouldn't be readily apparant in sinks, toilets or other low-pressure water devices. The showerhead itself is only channels for distributing water, and (apart from the one regulator valve) has little to do with the pressure achieved by the system before it.

5.0 out of 5 stars owned for 3 yrs... Love it!, July 2, 2007

I've used this Culligan Hand Held Shower head for 3 years now, and I just love it. It's one of the best things I've ever purchased, has made my showering much easier and more enjoyable. Love that I can hold the shower head in my hand to just rinse my hair or wash my feet if need be. Open and flip the filter over every 3 months if it seems clogged, change it every 6 months. Could not be better or easier. Wish I would have been using this for the last 25 years!
