Philips Water in-Line Shower Filter and 1 Replacement Cartridge, 50 000 L Filtration Capacity, White, Reduces Chlorine by up to 99%, Easy to Install, fits All Standard Hoses and taps

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

Bought this for my brother to use in Thailand and he loves it. It fits easily onto the shower and was straightforward to install. Since using it, he’s noticed a difference in the water and his hair hasn’t been as dry or damaged compared to before. Definitely seems to help with harsher water. Feels good quality and does exactly what it’s meant to do. Worth it if you’re dealing with hard water or travelling

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.

This filter is not like a vitamin shower filter to remove chlorine with added perfume from South Korea . It doesn’t add anything much but it’s very cost efficient. For my usual cost of one month, this filter can work 4-6months .the Longevity is not yet tested by myself, but I can see my hair health dramatically improved within just two days use ! I started suffering from hair losses these days and I knew that it might be the water quality deterioration . I had bought 2 other similar products but no effects . My bouncy beautiful shiny hairs got gradually thinner and thinner and harder and eventually cut by themselves to shock me . My floor had blond hairs around my mirror as if I have a big dog at home .I was desperate to stop loosing more hairs and ordered this filter. Now sorted ! My hairs are visibly recovering. This filter seemed to have managed to eliminate chlorine or any harmful chemicals in water . I saw my water spitting dark water and swans in the river got dark feathers . It has been endless efforts to buy new filters and the high quality and honest products are rare . It takes time to import and I could not wait anymore. I had wasted so much money with not South Korea products . This came straight without waiting time by prime and the installation took literally 1 -2 minute. It doesn’t beautify my skin like vitamin showers but delightful for hairs without worrying about my wallet. If you notice any hair damages , worth trying this . I am so happy to have tried this finally and relieved to be out of worries for 6 months !

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.

The pressure remains the same. Water quality increaces considerably and the smell is gone. Definitely good choice. After two month, my shower head is completely clean and my skin and hair improves a lot.

Easy to fit,looks nice-its PLASTIC with Stainless Steel finish!! First time opening was dificult-requied more power (I was afraid 8t may fail-probly coating finish on plastic case it),next ones was easy. I have checked quality of water using TDS-3 and results are weird: Cold,hot and mixed seems higher with filter than without it!?(More particals =worse quality of water) Not sure whats going on- I tried to contact customer support before this review. Unfortunately no way to contact them on Amazon. There is couple resolutions for different scenarios-which is good and I used it to make sure all was done correctly but no improvement. Maybe after couple day will be better. Water seems better for skin and in general but tester shows otherwise. Obviously tester do not test all things adviced by filter manufacturer -but still I would expect this reading drop not increase.

if you don't have this installed in your shower then you are missing out on clean skin and good hair. this softener is very easy to install. it is 1/2 inch at both ends. and it cleans water going in to your shower. I have hansgrohe rainfinity shower handle and this filter hasn't let any calcium depoisit or any other gunk get stuck in the shower head. moreover it helps soften water which is good for your skin and hair. removes chlorine. the unit is cheap as dirt and buying another as backup £20 whole set is a no brainer. works for 8 to12 months before needing replacing. when new you need to remove 2 plugs inside the filter . and to get to those plugs is a struggle for strong palms and fingers. better do it outside the shower . good colour blends in any bathroom. yes boiling hot water doesn't do it any damage. I run boiling hot water for a good 3 to 5 minutes to clean the shower after bathing and haven't observed anything negative.

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.

Living in Berlin, where the tap water is very hard and heavily chlorinated, I had been experiencing problems with my hair and scalp for quite some time. After showering, my hair often felt dry, stiff, and dull, and my scalp became irritated. While searching for a shower filter, I came across the Philips Water Inline Shower Filter and decided to give it a try. Installation was very simple and only took a few minutes without needing any special tools. It connected easily to my existing shower hose. One very important thing to know before installation: there are protective caps/plugs on both the water inlet and outlet of the filter. Make sure to remove them before installing the filter, otherwise the water flow will not work properly. This is easy to miss if you install it quickly. From the first use, the water already felt softer, and I immediately noticed that the strong chlorine smell from hot water was significantly reduced. After using it for a few weeks, I could clearly notice improvements. My hair feels less dry and rough after showering, and my scalp irritation has decreased. It is not a miracle product, but the difference is definitely noticeable with regular use. Another big advantage is that the water pressure remains strong, which is often a problem with other shower filters. The build quality feels premium, as expected from Philips, and the compact design looks clean and modern in the bathroom. The 50,000-liter filter capacity gives confidence for long-term use, and including a replacement cartridge is a nice bonus. Pros: * Very easy installation * Noticeably reduces chlorine smell * Hair and skin feel softer after showering * Maintains good water pressure * High-quality materials and compact design * Includes a replacement cartridge Cons: * In areas with extremely hard water, results may become more noticeable over time rather than instantly * You need to keep track of filter replacement intervals yourself Overall, I think this is a very useful product, especially for people living in cities with hard water like Berlin. I would definitely recommend it to anyone dealing with dry hair, scalp irritation, or sensitive skin caused by tap water.

Very easy to fit. I attached it to the shower mixer, with no issues. I didn't see much reduction in the flow. So, looking forward to seeing how it improves over time (I will update in a month).

Działa, wygląda ładnie. Pierwsze odkręcenia przed montażem koszmar, musiałem użyć klucza nastawnego przez ręcznik.
