CulliganWSH-C125 Wall-Mounted Filtered Showerhead with Massage, 10,000 Gallon, Chrome, 8.5"L x 4.75"W

It's sad when I get excited about appliances or gadgets, but when you find one that makes your life easier or improves a problem it's hard not to! I have known we have hard water but it had never been an issue. After putting in a swimming pool my daughter's blonde hair started to suffer. Her shiny healthy hair turned into a dry straw-like tangled mess within 6 weeks and only swimming 2-4 times a week. I was at a loss. We tried the swimmers shampoo, deep conditioners and demineralization treatments to no avail, all of which were not cheap. As I was searching for yet another miracle product I stumbled onto a review for this. What did I have to lose? For the price it was completely reasonable to give it a try considering the amount I had spent on products that didn't help.My daughter had gone swimming yesterday and I shampooed her hair with swimmers shampoo and conditioner. The chlorine smell was still in her hair later that evening at dinner and of course dry and tangled within 20 minutes of brushing. When we arrived home low and behold....this had arrived. I had my husband install it and he was done in 10 minutes. I got her in the shower and once again and used the same products on her hair. She immediately told me the water smelled better. She loved the way it felt on her skin, she didn't want to come out! The shampoo of course lathered much better as well. The comb glided through her long hair and I rarely hit a tangle. I had hope. Just a glimmer, but hope.We also have very low water pressure and there are instructions on how to remove the flow restrictor but there was no need to. The pressure was better than my old shower head.This morning her hair is beautiful! I wish I had taken before and after photos but I had no idea it would turn back her hair into the healthy shiny hair it was before. Especially in one shampoo. I am still in shock actually. Her hair is vibrant, the blonde is glowing again and it feels like silk. I can't wait to try it out on my chemically treated hair! We will be installing these in all our bathrooms. This product has changed our life. I felt so badly for her hair and as a parent helplessness doesn't feel that great.I did test the water with my total hardness test strips and tap water was 400ppm and shower water now 100ppm!This is amazing. Sorry review so long, but I'm pumped!Update: I also purchased the hand held version of this product for a second bathroom (HSH-C135) due to a large golden retriever who likes to find mud puddles. It also has great pressure and works just as well as this one. I would say MAYBE slightly less pressure, but it's too hard to tell without testing side by side. Both are powerful with the flow restrictor still on.09/05/2016 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 head 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.

Okay, so the last 6 months or so I was beginning to believe that the reason my hair and skin sucked was because I was now 30 and was starting to decompose. I have spent $100's on products and treatments for my thick, slightly wavy, fine hair that has been frizzy, dry, breaking and as my hairdresser put it: "chewy". I have spent even more $100's on skin care products to treat the post-pubescent acne and flaky dry, red patches that I was getting.Finally, I wondered....what about the water?My bf thought I was overreacting and getting all OCD about the next thing or "fad" to invest in, but I wanted to try it out anyway, even it was just to eliminate that factor altogether for the sake of my sanity.After grueling research on what to look for when buying a water filtation apparatus, reading hundreds of reviews on different brands, models etc., I finally resolved on this Culligan shower head and model.Upon receiving it, I couldn't wait to use it. Mind you, my bf still thought I was crazy. Today I installed it and used it. So did he. We LOVE it!!!!!!!!Installation was a breeze, getting it out of the package was not. It has one of those blister pack "they do not want you to actually open it" packaging. After I finally freed the shower head and filter I was happy to find a clear, concise, informative instruction pamphlet along with the Teflon tape.It was really easy to install. I didn't quite get down the 5 different spay settings yet, but again, I've only used it once o far.The difference was noticeable right away. The water felt indescribably cleaner. My skin didn't sting after shaving (I have really sensitive skin and even the gentlest razor irritates my skin). My hair felt like the products I was using was actually doing their job. When I got out of the shower the first thing I noticed was that my face was bright, clear, and not the usual red, blotchy mess it has been lately after showering. My arms and my legs felt like they haven't felt in a long time...ridiculously butter-soft. I didn't have to struggle to get product evenly distributed through my hair or to get a comb through it (I'm assuming that's the "chewiness").As it dried it was completely frizz free and insanely shiny. The real test was the blow dryer.Lately after blow drying, my hair has felt fried and crunchy, and has looked dull, damaged and sad. This day...today...it was luminous, soft and looked like it does the 24 hours after leaving your salon.It's totally the water!My bf thought that I was still crazy because he thought that an immediate difference couldnt be a possibility, but then he took a shower...Since I was out, he text me raving about it!! His hair is indeed noticeably shinier, softer and healthier looking in general. He now wants me to replace every faucet for a filtered one!!!The moral of the story is that this shower head is awesome and you're insane not to buy it. Even if you don't want this one, get a different one. No one should have to shower in water that is slowly poisoning us. It's so obvious to me now just how harmful these things are to humans.I am so glad I bought this and will recommend getting a filteration device to everyone I know. It's worth every single penny (even with the maintenance of replacing the filter every 6 months). Just buy it already!!

Delivery: great. Replacing the Culligan shower head that I purchased 15 years ago from Amazon. The tiny plastic nozzles in the head were literally crumbling to pieces. Is it my hot showers? hey, they aren't *that* hot. 5 stars for the most difficult and annoying packaging thusfar in 2025. The clear plastic clmshell plastic that send hundred of people to the emergency room is impenetrably wrapping the product, requiring a sharp knife to get in, making unpackaging dangerous. Convenient for the manufacturer, dangerous and inconvenient for the customer. I think that we all got a big middle finger about that maybe 30 years ago? Speaking of inconvenience, you can look forward to more of that when trying to remove the round sticker on both sides of the reversable filter element. One side is easier than the other, but man is that other side a doosie! Real PITA. Finally, you are able to install your showerhead, and I think that they improved it somehow. The water flow settings are great. Maybe better than the earlier version that I am replacing. Have a great shower!
