Philips Water - In-Line Shower Filter, Reduces Chlorine by up to 99%, Easy to Instal, Fits all standard hoses and taps (Packaging may vary)

Myself and my family have definitely noticed a difference afterusing the filter. We live in London and after reading a couple of reviews was a bit worried we wouldn’t notice a difference but we certainly did. Very easy to install, water is a lot more softer, skin feels so much better and softer it looks nice, aesthetically, no issues with the water flow or any leakages and the quality is very good

Easy to install. I’ve been using it for almost three years, and it has definitely helped reduce limescale. Excellent product!

I've had this for 3 weeks now. It was easy to fit, no problem getting the tops off and connecting. It doesn't claim to treat hard water or act as a water softener. Yet I took a gamble anyway because of the brand and the reviews. I have noticed that soap and shampoo lathers better and my scalp is less itchy. Can't say I have noticed a huge difference in my hair or skin though. So it might help filter out some limescale. I don't get the reviews that are saying it's rubbish for limescale removal when it doesn't claim to be so. This is unfair. Like buying a can opener and saying it's rubbish at unscrewing jars of pickles. For me, it was worth the punt and I think it works a bit. Might update if my tresses suddenly take on a new lease of life.

I bought this to protect my hair and skin from hard water, and it works brilliantly! However, I saw a lot of reviews from people saying they couldn't get the top of the filter open to put the cartridge in or change it. It can be incredibly stiff right out of the box, but don't panic. The ultimate trick to open it: If the metal casing won't budge, run the top part of the filter under hot tap water (or dip it in a mug of boiling water) for about 30 seconds. The heat expands the metal slightly and loosens the factory seal. Grab it with a dry towel for extra grip, and it will twist right open! Also, a heads-up if your old shower hose is stuck tightly due to limescale: when you twist it off, the internal plastic tube might slide out of its metal sleeve. If that happens, just dip the plastic tube in hot water for 30 seconds to make it soft and stretchy, push the brass connector piece back in until it's flush, and slide the metal sleeve back up. It fits perfectly now, there are zero leaks.Now I’ll just have to see the results over time on my hair and skin, but I’m so excited! Deffo recommend it!

I PURCHASED THE FILTER WITH MY OWN MONEY AND HAVE NO AFFILIATION TO THIS OR ANY OTHER AMAZON SELLERS. Do not buy if you actually have skin condition or dry hair and live in London or anywhere where water is treated with chloramine - it will not filter any chlorine from your water. I USED THIS FILTER FOR WEEKS BEFORE WRITING THIS REVIEW. When using this filter, I still continued to have the burning sting I receive from chlorinated water on the area of my skin with my eczema flareup. I then purchased two separate water quality tests to check chlorine level, PH and water hardness. I also tested normal water straight from the tap in my house and distilled water (as a control). Now although I used 2 separate tests, I conducted each test 3 times. The straight from tap water and ‘filtered’ water produced the same result for chlorine and hardness, the only difference was PH. The distilled water had different results, showing me that the test actually worked (but the filter didn’t). The filter uses ‘KDF’ but it does not mention which KDF media it uses. I suspect it is KDF 55 as KDF 55 can only filter water where only chlorine is used but not where ammonia is added to the chlorine to treat water (to make the treatment last longer), as is the case in London and many cities in UK (and around the world). That is why many other filters you can purchase that use KDF 55 also include vitamin C, carbon or other similar layers (to provide greater filtration). Some even use KDF 85, which also filters chlorine compounds like chloramine. I emailed the support email to ask what other filters they had - they refused to answer. I then asked on Amazon for anyone who had used the product for at least a month to confirm whether it worked - the seller removed my question! It does look okay and I where it’s placed on a mixer. Negative points: 1. Does not filter much of the water we use in homes in cities. 2. Difficult to remove (I had to replace it with one from another company that actually works). 3. Difficult to change filters - I tried to open it once it took it out and found it too difficult. 4. Getting information about it was difficult as my question was fraudulently removed and no one answered my emails. Good things: 1. Easy installed 2. Easy to purchase filter replacements There are filters out there that I have found to work for my water supply - improve the softness and quality of the water. My skin and hair can attest to that.

Purchased this as my son is struggling badly with eczema at the moment and a few people have mentioned the high chlorine levels in local water and how filters have really helped them so I figured we would lose nothing by trying this and Philips tends to be a well known / reputable brand. Its a neat bit of kit and super easy to install. We’ve been using it for a few weeks now and my son says he feels like the water stings his skin less but overall it doesn’t seem to have made any physical difference. Obviously I have no way of knowing whether thats just because water isn’t a contributing factor or whether the filter just isn’t very effective. Compared to some of the filters out there this is reasonably priced.

Definitely recommend this item. It lasts a long time and certainly helped my hair. I have just switched to more natural shampoos so my hair was struggling to adjust, but this water filter definitely helped. My hair is surprisingly very soft, even without using hair mask or oil which is what I used to use just to cope with my dry hair. And it doesn't even look out of place

It’s been a couple of months now since I purchased this. I spent hours researching and looks for a good enough filter that don’t cost an arm and a leg. Most of the filter shower heads reviews and stars are actually about the shower head itself and water pressure or look, nothing about the actual filter. From day 2 my hair felt softer.. no need to detangle anymore. Now after time I can notice the difference in my skin. It’s actually shocking to see what we become used to without this filter and think it’s ok. YOUR HAIR AND SKIN DOES NOT NEED TO FEEL THE WAY IT DOES. This was a great investment. Asking as this product exists, I will keep buying it. My only annoyance is that I did buy it years ago. It’s changed my hair and skin for the better. That real holiday feeling you have when your abroad and your hair and skin feels amazing.. well turns out you can have it at home too.

Really good results, easy to install and worth it

Ho preso questo filtro doccia Philips senza aspettarmi grandi cambiamenti, ma dopo qualche settimana la differenza si sente. La cosa più evidente per me è stata sulla pelle: meno secca dopo la doccia e meno quella sensazione di “tirare”, soprattutto nei giorni in cui mi lavo più spesso. Anche i capelli risultano più morbidi e meno spenti. Installazione davvero semplice: si avvita tra l’uscita dell’acqua e il tubo in pochi minuti, senza bisogno di attrezzi particolari. Tiene bene, nessuna perdita. Non ho notato cali significativi di pressione, cosa che temevo, quindi promosso anche da questo punto di vista. Il flusso rimane piacevole e costante. Il filtro è abbastanza compatto ma è da verificare l’ingombro rispetto all’uscita dell’acqua, nel mio caso è stato necessario l’acquisto di un adattatore per distanziarlo dal muro. Si integra bene senza rovinare l’estetica della doccia. Ovviamente non è una soluzione “miracolosa”, ma per migliorare la qualità dell’acqua e avere un beneficio quotidiano concreto è un ottimo investimento. In sintesi: semplice, efficace e senza complicazioni. Uno di quei prodotti che non fanno rumore… ma migliorano davvero la routine.
