Product Description
Our shower filters remove 100% chlorine from the shower water and softens hard water as well.
At The Sensitive Skincare Company we firmly believe that if you have a dry, sensitised skin prone to rashes or eczema, besides moisturising (with plant derived moisturisers ) regularly there is no better way to improve your skin than by the removal of chlorine from your bathing water.
Clinical study shows that...
Free residual chlorine in bathing water reduces the water-holding capacity of the stratum corneum in atopic skin.

Some patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) develop dry skin or exacerbated cutaneous inflammations with frequent swimming in public pools or after bathing. We examined the effects of residual chlorine in bathing water on the function of the stratum corneum (SC) in patients with AD and determined the lowest chlorine concentration showing an effect.
Easy to fit shower filter simply screw into the shower head and hose
# As seen on TV and in the July 08 issue of BBC Good Homes Magazine # Sadly not suitable for use with a Power shower

This is a surprisingly robust filter, easy to fit, nice-looking and would doubtless do the job very well for most people. We had to remove ours after only a couple of days, though, because it does slow the flow down a little bit and since our shower flow is so feeble to begin with, it turns our shower into a trickle. I can't get the shampoo out of my hair! If your shower has a reasonable flow rate, you shouldn't have a problem. In retrospect, I should have realized that putting the water through a multi stage filter was going to slow it down but it didn't occur to me...I do feel it would have been helpful if this had been mentioned in the product description just to make it obvious for dimbulbs like me. It only says not suitable for power showers which isn't a problem for me obviously! I'd still recommend this filter though, unless you have a trickly shower.

We live in a particularly hard water area and moving to a new house we noticed the chalky layers on the bath and bathroom windows more than ever. After living with it for six months we decided a remedy was needed. We were recommended this shower filter by a friend and it has been an absolute godsend. After only a few days the chalky residue had diminished dramatically but even moreso I noticed the difference in feel of my skin (which initially was a bonus 'side-effect'!)
The shower water itself, like my skin, feels (no pun intended) so much softer and we're using noticeably less soap/shampoo/conditioner etc. as it lathers with ease. I initially had worries about the weight of the unit but even our creaky old shower has no problems supporting it as it fits just above the bracket. There's no significant change in water flow and it fits so simply to the shower head.
As such, I would recommend this whole-heartedly (already have to friends and family...) and I can only imagine the benefits for someone who suffers from specific dry skin problems. Don't think twice about the expense - it's worth its weight in gold.

We have a power shower but had to turn the water pump strength up to get enough strength. If you don't have a very strong flow of water then you'll probably struggle.
Additionally, the unit is very heavy, especially when full of water so your shower head will also need to be strong otherwise it will just point down.
Having said all of the above, it seems to have really made the water feel softer and my skin isn't getting as dry as before and certainly my eczema is getting much better.
Overall would recommend if you can deal with the power and weight issues.
