2.0 out of 5 stars Potential exists but this is a very flawed product, June 4, 2009

This review is from: Vitamin C Handheld Showerhead Chlorine Filter

I purchased this Unit a few months ago. I immediately noticed the cheap plastic connectors (alot of companies are doing this but this plastic was really cheap feeling). I give them credit for the metal hose though. I hooked it up and turned on the shower and water was flying everywhere from the shower pipe to where the Sonaki connected to it. I took it off and used even more plumbers tape and turned it on. Now, water just leaked from the spot so I left it like that (it shouldn't leak at all).

First impression:
Excellent water pressure and spray. I have poor water pressure and tried a waterpik handheld showerhead before that just didn't work well. The Sonaki showerhead has the best spray I have ever used-very good.

My hair felt softer and even though I wasn't happy about the leak I would have been more than pleased if.......
The cartridge lasted a month. It didn't. It lasted 2 weeks! This is just me showering once a day for 2 weeks. That would mean it would cost $200/year for cartridges. Not good. I liked the shower spray so much, however, that I decided to keep trying it out so I loaded the new cartridge that came with the Sonaki. I was surprised at how long this cartridge was lasting, the vitamin C wasn't going down much at all.

Then I noticed my hair and scalp were getting worse so I decided to check out the cartridge and found...........
There was no hole in the bottom of it! That meant water was going around the cartridge not through it. I compared it to the original cartridge and of course the first one had a hole in it, plus it was also a little bigger. Now, what the heck is going on here?

I happened to have also gotten a 5 pack of cartridges and checked them out. ALL of them had no hole in the bottom. Needless to say, back it went.
So, is this company scamming us? Is the company just incredibly inept with poor quality control? I was flabbergasted at what I had just seen.

I will add that if they improved the seal at the pipe, if the cartridge lasted 1 month, and if I didn't just see 6 out of 7 defective ones this would be a nice shower filter, so I gave it 2 stars for the spray power. As it stands, this is one screwed up company.

This review is from: Vitamin C Handheld Showerhead Chlorine Filter

I bought this showerhead 6 months ago, and what a difference it has made to the water in my shower! I live in Washington, DC, where the water is very harsh and treated with a lot chlorine. Before I bought the Sonaki showerhead, my skin would smell like chlorine after showering. My hair and skin were so dry, it was awful. I tried the Sonaki showerhead at my brother's suggestion, and noticed a major difference right away. It's like it takes the chlorine right out of the water. Actually, it neutralizes the chlorine, according to the package. My first filter recently ran out, and again, my hair and skin were extremely dry. I replaced the filter, and the water was good again.

Seriously, I recommend this product to anyone who has harsh water, city water, or just wants a showerhead that will make your skin softer and healthier.

This review is from: Vitamin C Handheld Showerhead Chlorine Filter

I was a bit dubious when I researched this item, because the reviews appeared to be fake (only one out of the 5 seems authentic). When looking at their profiles, the users had only written rave reviews about this product, nothing else. So anyway, I did end up buying this product because... I admit it, of its appealing aesthetics. I took my chance even with the fact that it's fairly an expensive shower head compared to many others. I did like the style so I decided to give it a try. Well, it ended up being a VERY good decision, I do love the way it looks, but it's by far more effective than the other shower heads I used in the past. I like the spread of the holes which cover the whole face of the shower head, keeping the water flowing consistently at a high pressure.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the filter runs out pretty fast, less than a month. The water actually dissipates the "vitamin C" powder in the filter as you shower, unlike carbon filters where the water filters through the granules of carbon.
It would be nice if they figured out a way to combine this "vitamin C" filter and a carbon filter, which would probably be more effective and long-lasting.
