I moved to a new city in Northern California from a different city in Northern California (with a new water source) three years ago and basically overnight developed terrible skin issues. For three years I have tried nearly everything to resolve the dry flaky itchy irritable skin on my legs and face to no avail. I honestly couldn’t believe how terrible my skin felt, always tight, itchy, ingrown hairs when I shaved my legs. Acne on my face. I felt like my skin stopped allowing my hair to grow through and basically became like a closed capsule over my body. Every follicle basically became an inflamed issue.
Sorry to go into so much detail, but I was being driven mad by this change in my skin and searched for years for a fix- with different moisturizers, salicylic acid , ahas, body oils, you name it I tried it. I had basically given up hope and couldn’t figure out what happened to my skin. Then I stumbled upon a post online that mentioned how hard water can affect sensitive skin and that some people with skin issues might benefit from a water filter on their shower. So I figured what the hell. I had had a pimple here out there before. But this new situation left my body covered in boils and ingrown hairs and I was desperate for a solution.
I bought this filter despite some negative reviews because I liked the price point. I’ve been using it for a week, and the install was not difficult. At first it leaked water, but I took it off and added more plumbers tape and it worked fine. No more leaks, water pressure is fine.
When I tell you that instantly in my first shower I knew something was different. My shampoo soaped different, I barely need any compared to before to create a lather.
My hair is so shiny and soft now. And after a few days, my skin started peeling and appears to be recovering from whatever was affecting me before. I felt like I molted my weird dry skin and my face is healing. I am no longer itchy, and I am not feeling like I have to slather myself in lotion.
Long story short. If you are on your last hope and searching for something to try to help with your skin issues- it’s been life changing for me. I did go online and look at the water report for my city to make sure this filter took out the worst offenders in my water. I would highly recommend looking at your water report before deciding which filter to buy- just to make sure it will have the positive affect you desire.
I highly recommend this filter and would honestly buy it again and again because my results are incredible.
