Sprite Showers Slim-Line 2 Universal Shower Filter, Chrome

Seems like this manufacturer isn’t nearly as out of touch with their product’s users as mostl manufacturers seem to be these days. They might even USE their OWN products instead of just trying to shovel junk on the unsuspecting public! Amazing.I thought I was going to have to either buy a whole new handle shower head with a filter or (much worse) shorten the shower arm cooling out of the wall in order to get a filter to fit.This one adds very little length to the shower arm, so you can connect a handle shower head to it without needing to be 4’ 5” tall to still fit under it. It adds especially little extension to the arm since the arm (pipe) screws into it halfway down inside the middle.The filter is a no-nonsense filter. No magic balls or any nonsense that does absolutely nothing but try to scam people with pseudo-technology. I think it was the second best filter in the testing list I found for chlorine removal, but they do mention in the instructions that some people’s tap water could have some chlorine compounds that it isn’t designed to remove so removal wouldn’t always be absolutely 100% everywhere for everyone. Bit it was still much better than most others when I was researching.The only problem I’ve noticed with it is more of a problem with the installation instructions. During shipping some of the filter media (which is sand-like granules) can shake out of the filter, the filter chamber cap can vibrate loose, and grains get under the O ring seal and the cap. And if you just install it then it will immediately be leaking around the edge.All you have to do is unscrew it (as though you were changing the filter) and take the filter and O ring out, rinse everything off to make sure the are no stray grains of filler media messing up the seal, and put it back together again. Only a tiny amount of grains shake out, and the stuff rinses off easily, but it’s likely enough to prevent the O ring from sealing when the cap probably got loose too.So just check and clean the filter seal before installing. After I did this everything was perfect after running water through it for a minute like the instructions tell you.I’m betting the manufacturer will end up adding this check to the install instructions at some point.Anyway, it does not lower the water pressure or anything that i I can tell. Anyone using the shower here hasn’t noticed it and I don’t even notice that it’s there either.I hadn’t heard of Sprite before, but I’ll be keeping this company in mind next time I need to buy the sort of products they produce.

I love this product so much I bought it for every one of my bathrooms. It has a modern look and was super easy to install, it took less than 5 minuets with no tools. We have well water and this has changed my hair without loosing the water pressure. I had it for over a year and it’s still holding up great and doesn’t leak. It’s easy to clean and doesn’t rust or collect grime. Overall the performance is OUTSTANDING. If you have hard water and don’t own one I suggest you buy one. You can buy replacement beads to change the filter, I would say it last 6 months in a house of 4 people with daily use. It also has a dial that you can select the month so you know when you last changed it. Once again I highly recommend.

Just used for the first time. It was not difficult to install, but didn't fit my Moen shower head perfectly and will not tighten completely. However, the seal seems adequately tight and it did not leak during shower use. I did not have to use plumbing tape to secure it. Additionally, it is easy to remove the whole filter/shower head to open it up and replace the filter; there are only two possible sides to open the filter from, so it amuses me to see so many people complaining about the apparent difficulty.If you have a higher pressure shower head the water pressure will be lower than you expect but not by much.

I've used these filters for years. My hair has never felt or looked better, and my sensitive skin has never been more comfortable. The filters also successfully got rid of the chlorine smell that lingered in my apartment after showers, which was a plus.The filter housing is prone to leakage though, but the leaks can generally be stopped. One problem with the design is that it seems most people try to open the wrong end to change filters or treat leaks. I made this mistake early on and even handed one of these to other people to test out. All of us were inclined to try to open the wrong end. Above the description of this product is a series of photos and a video. The video clearly shows the proper way to open the filter housing, and when done this way, it's very easy to open and close. When I experienced leaks, it was because I'd accidentally loosened the end I was supposed to open while trying to open the wrong end. 🤦‍♀️Someone else here mentioned the potential for loose sediment. The first thing I do when I get one of these is open it up and take it apart. I check both ends of the filter housing and the filter itself. Any loose sediment can be rinsed out and/or wiped away. It's also important to make sure you thoroughly wipe down the threads that connect the two ends.Once I've done that, I put it all back together and make sure everything's tight. To ensure there are no leaks, I make sure the o-ring is in place in both the shower filter and the shower head. I apply clean plumbing tape to both the shower arm and the shower filter.There are now no leaks and my showers are healthy and comfortable. 😊Note: The water pressure takes a bit of a hit, but the trade-off is worth it. I've tried more expensive shower heads that have better water output, but they're prone to cracks and explosions. No, thank you. 😬

I cannot say enough about this product. Super easy to install and instant results. My hair is so shiny now and my skin is not flaking. The water flow is not restricted at all and the price point is great. I highly recommend.
