Culligan HSH-C135 Hand Held Filtered Showerhead, Chrome Finish

I cannot express how thankful I am to have found this product! I also own the shower head version WSH-C 125 and it transformed my daughter's chlorine damaged hair back to silk!I had exhausted everything and after extensive research I learned what hard water can do to hair. Add to the equation our new pool and chlorine and her fine blonde hair turned to straw in a matter of 2 months. Now I no longer smell the chlorine in her hair and after one shampoo her hair was changed. I was so shocked. I have a full review of this struggle under the other shower head. I myself have brown fine but coarse highlighted hair and my natural "frizz" and texture of my hair has improved dramatically as well. It is softer than it has been in years. All the damage and abuse is being washed away.I decided to purchase the hand held version as well due to a large golden retriever that loves to find mud puddles in the backyard. I was nervous seeing the earlier reviews with the mounting bracket, but I did find where they changed this and improved the product. My husband installed this in 10-15 minutes which included removing the old one as well. We have low water pressure and I was worried about the filter making it even worse. The flow and pressure from both of the shower heads is better than my old ones! It's insane AND we left the flow restrictors in place! I actually have decent water pressure now and I get hot water more quickly. Usually it takes 4-5 minutes for our hot water to make it downstairs to our bathroom and kitchen sink. I had hot water in 1:45 seconds. The kitchen....still a sore spot!I have no problems with the angle or adjusting the spray. Is it heavy? Of course. It's just as heavy as my old hand held that didn't have a filter! Luckily I don't have to try and shower with this in my hand because I would make a massive mess! I love having it to bathe the dog for his inopportune rolls in the mud and to clean the shower as well. When I am bathing the dog the handle feels comfortable in my hand and it's not heavy to me, it feels just like my previous Moen one. The mount is also nice and secure. It's a high quality fixture.Whatever your needs are for the shower head you can order this one in confidence. I'm glad I decided to try it. Don't let the old reviews deter you, they did improve the mounting bracket. This thing is awesome. Attractive, functions, amazing results and cheap filter replacement cost.09/06/2016 Update: My damaged hair no longer feels like straw. I had no idea that hard water could play such an important role! I attributed the texture and feel to having highlights and color on a regular basis. I have been using the new shower heads just shy of a month and unlike my daughter's transforming over night mine has taken longer, and rightfully so. My frizz is under control and continuing to improve. I have also noticed it is starting to look substantially healthier. It no longer feels like straw either. Honestly, I can't even remember my hair being soft due to the texture which has now changed so much it's still surreal. My hair hasn't looked this heathy in 20 years. Reminds me of the hair I had as a child.I was also watching my daughter play volleyball this weekend and sitting in the upper level I noticed her hair shined more than any of the other girls. It has a certain glow that is easy to see and has great body to it. No products being used. All the money I had wasted on products and treatments and it's just a simple shower head. Wow.

Do your research and then come back and order this one.1. We have extremely hard well water and the filter works magic. We already have a whole house filter with softener, but the water was still harsh on my hair and caused hard water stains.2. Decent price point for a name brand.3. Brand you can trust - water specialists.4. Improved our shower water pressure tremendously. (We did remove the low flow when installing.)5. Install per the video, make sure to tighten up well and no issues, like some of the reviews.Very happy with purchase!

Works great, I've been using these shower heads and filters for years. They are durable and last forever. I had to buy this design because we moved house and my other one which was just the head connecting directly into my shower is not compatible with my current shower.I needed the head with the handle, hence had to buy this one.I've never tested with the water strips how well it reduces the hardness out of the water but can tell from the calcium deposits reduction on my faucet as well as the improvement of my hair and skin how well these filters work.Years ago I use to lose bundles of hair in the shower then started using the Culligan shower head and filter, my skin and hair improved tremendously and I just never stopped using it.I'd highly recommend this shower head and filters.

Update: It's six years later and I still use this product daily, so I feel compelled to update my review.While the bracket piece did break, Culligan sent me a new piece that hasn't broken in over five years of use. I may have just gotten a defective part the first time. Kudos to Culligan for sending me the new part, free.These kinds of hoses are basically a consumable. Even the best ones only last 5 years or so, so it wasn't really fair of me to ding this product for a cheap hose. I'm on my third hose now, they are commonly and cheaply available.The installation instructions were clear and installation was easy. Installation revealed the big flaw in this product though. The part that attaches to the shower, which also holds the shower head, is made of a very cheap and innappropriate plastic that's far too weak for the job. The plastic cracked while I was hand tightening it, and I'm not very strong! This pretty much renders the whole product useless unless you repair or modify it.I was concerned about the weight of the handle unit, considering it's got a filter and a cup or so of water in it. It is heavy, but not unmanageable. The available spray patterns are nice, the aereated foam is my favorite. It feels like a lot of water is coming out, even with the flow restrictor in. The combinations of two patterns may not work if you don't have pretty good water pressure. They work for me some days but not other days. The other thing I don't like about this product is that the hose is short. It's a good quality hose, it looks like it would last a long time. I had to substitute another longer hose for it to be long enough for my semi disabled spouse to use on the shower bench.

Yes, after almost 13 years and 3 moves, I have to buy another one. :) Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration...my old one works just fine...top has a spidery egg shell kind of crack in the top that is totally my fault, and one of the settings [stream spray] no longer works. Frankly I'm back to get another before this one gives out in a few years and I can't find a new one. I'll replace with new one and keep old one in storage just in case I ever need.Filter does wonders for hair and skin. Change filters 2-4 times a year. Soak shower head in vinegar every couple of years to keep holes clean.Last one I bought in 2011 was $37, so a little sad it's now close to $80, but not sad enough not to buy.
