Noticeable difference with use; great customer service, March 28, 2009
A Kid's Review
I have noticed others have said it doesn't filter the water as well as some other models. I can't speak to that statistic, because I have never measure the difference in water quality, though I would be curious to do that one day. All I can say about that is now that I have had mine long enough for the filter to quit working, I can absolutely see a huge difference in the time range (1) before I bought the filter, (2) when it was working at peak performance, and (3) after it ran out. My skin started to feel dry and my hair turned to straw, and the water just didn't feel as "clean" and soft - a clear indicator it was time to change filters.
Lastly, it's touted as a handheld showerhead, but my shower happens to be high enough and angled in such a way that I actually use it as a regular shower as well. And I love the fact that it has a good range of adjustable speeds.
I'm not sure about the claims of 6 - 12 months of filter usage. I was told by Sprite that the filters should be replaced every two months. Of course, that depends on how much the shower gets used - a single person versus a family of four will have different outputs. Specifically, it's supposed to be good for 3000 gallons, and uses 2.5 gallons per minute, so it's easy to calculate the projected life of the filter by how many showers are taken each day, and the duration of each shower.
There may be other filters that work better for cleaning every little thing from the water, and I would be curious to test them one day. But my skin and hair seem happy with this one, and for the price, I am happy too.
I also have to say I am very, very happy with their customer service. I went to change my filter for the first time last week, and the plastic portion where the two pieces screw together broke. It has a year warranty, so I called them, and they immediately called me back, were very cordial and helpful, and within hours, my new shower replacement parts were on their way. Two days later, they were in my mailbox, and I'm back in business. A business gets put to the ultimate test when things go wrong, and I'm very happy with the way my issue was handled.

works great!, April 2, 2008
I have noticed a big difference with using this filter. My hair is more manageable, less tangles and less breakage. Not to mention my blonde hair no longer gets rusty colored. Plus the shampoo/body wash has more lather. For the price and 6-12 month replacement factor, it deserves 5-stars.

Doesn't work with our well water, February 2, 2009
After researching this product, I bought it because of its claims to reduce the amount of iron in the water. We either have a lot of iron or it doesn't work. Either way, it is not filtering out the iron. Like another review, I also had problems with leaking, which never happened with other shower heads I have installed. I cannot rate the chlorine filtering because I have well water, but I wouldn't recommend it for iron.
