Im looking for suggestion for a really good Shower Water Filter?

wanderinglife asked:

I live in an apartment complex that DOES have a water softener but I think the PH levels are out of wack because several of the people in the building complain about itchy skin, scalp issues and those of us with blonde hair now have rust/orange colored hair.
When the landlord is confronted he states that the water company has already come out and things are “fine”.
I on the other hand tend to disagree … because my hair is still a rustic orange instead of a beautiful blonde – and my scalp is still flakin’ up a storm.

My skin shouldnt feel like it is, my scalp shouldnt be giving me flake issues and for the amount of money I spend on my hair it shouldnt be orange…. PLEASE HELP

Can someone with a similar situation please suggest a Shower Filter that has worked for them – I’d like the name of a brand of Filter – not just a store where I can find one (most of the ones HD, Lowes and what not carries only takes out Chlorine, I need one that takes out Iron as well.

Thank You!

Suds asked:

The hard water in my shower really dries out my skin, is there anyway to soften up the water or eliminate this problem all together? Ive seen adds on TV for this shower head that has a water filter in it…does anyone know if this thing works?

Chocablock asked:

i have a Triton Opel electric shower that keeps going cold and the low pressure light keeps coming on.this is when the hot setting button is engaged……..it seems ok when the warm button is engaged….the water pressure does seem low coming out of the shower and i was thinking maybe a mesh strainer inside the shower has become clogged as the shower is 6 years old………do electric showers have an in line water filter that would clog up and cause this…thanks

What is the major difference between a water filter, purifier, softener or conditioner?

kimemeki asked:

I have a private well system here in Wasilla, AK and I am not happy with the water quality. I used a shower filter to remove chlorine etc when I lived in California but that is not the problem now. The water causes dry skin, tastes horrible and seems to have a lot of calcium and iron in it. I had some tests done and was offered a Water conditioner that uses polymer beads and a seperate system that uses reverse osmosis to filter and soften all of the water in the house. This will cost around $3000 is that the best way to go or does anyone know of a better option? I do want to filter all of the water in the house for drinking, cooking, bathing laundry etc. Are there certain things I need to leave in the water for health reasons? Is it ok to strip the water of as many minerals etc as I can?
