Product Reviews of New Wave Enviro Premium Shower Filter System
Product Review: A filter that seems to work
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this product about a month ago and wanted to give it some time before I commented on it.
First of all the filter was really easy to install. No special tools were needed for installation. They even included plumber's tape (which I recommend using for a drip-free installation).
After using the shower with the new filter, i did notice that the water smelled cleaner, the soap seemed foamier, and my hair and skin felt cleaner. These are all just observations, but it seems like the filter is doing what it was designed to do.
Product Review: Ahhh, shower!
Summary: 5 Stars
So, it's a nice shower filter. What can I say. ;-)
Amazon shipped and sold this. I requested the free shipping and it came much faster than expected. Thanks Amazon.
This was like $25 more at Whole Foods, which likes to eat my Whole wallet. I started getting things like this after watching the movie Tapped. Here's the premise: corporate interests are after the next best thing from oil. Namely, water. It is an $800+ billion dollar business in just bottled water alone. Many years ago, people said "why would I buy bottled water when I can just get it from the tap" Enter the sucker and the sucker's kids.
Don't worry, I'm one too. OK, so companies like Nestle are using natural, untouched water supplies in places like beautiful Maine, for free! Then turning around and selling this for huge profits to people in the name of Poland Spring.
Problem 1: drought and depletion of natural resources. In the future (20 years), there will only be enough water for 1/3 of the population. The other 2/3s will be licking their lips and wishing they were living next to a REALLY good water filter.
Note: All public water is regulated and CONSTANTLY tested. Bottled water is not. I can put jack squat in effort into making a new bottled water company and I don't have to publicly declare this unless someone happens to inquire. Hmm. .
Problem 2: The bottled water you buy is made from the same chemicals as Petroleum. Once the sun hits it, there IS EVIDENCE that this will leak/leech/what have you into your water. Next step, you drink it then feel sick. Symptoms in the long-term are associated with diabetes, dementia, obesity, cancer, you name it.
Problem 3: The bottles we use are being chucked out into natural water supplies. Most of the oceans in the world are a slurry of junk that no one really cares to pick up. I'm pointing at you polluter! You know who I'm talking about.
Back to the water filter. If you get this, you may think about changing your shower head so that you don't push out any residual.
Pro: No more odd smelling water. I live in Chicago and the water here is treated with high amounts of Chlorine. Not good for the body, skin, hair, etc. I remember in places like New York, the water was great.
Cons: None
Note: As a further note, let's all do our part to help the environment. Right?
We all have to live in this world and we can't keep just messing things up. Our kids are gonna have a long time to deal with this and so will we if we want to live here.
I hear the moon has some places for rent. Any takers? Nah, didn't think so. Put your hand down polluter!
Product Review: Amazing Difference
Summary: 5 Stars
The municipal water where I live has so much chlorine and other things in the water that you can easily smell it in the shower. Because of that, my skin and hair were just about always dry. Chlorine is added to municipal water to kill living things such as bacteria and virii, and since we're living things, it tries to kill us too. Unlike a pool, most people shower every day at least once.
In the shower, your skin absorbs this chemical and you inhale the chlorine gas when it steams up. This is highly toxic to your body.
Installation of this filter was a breeze. I'm absolutely horrible at most do-it-yourself things, but this took me less than five minutes to install, and that includes finding a wrench.
After only a short time of using it, my skin is softer, my hair is manageable and soft and easy to comb, I use much less soap and shampoo, and I feel generally better; healthier.
I would highly recommend this filter. The feeling and health benefits far exceed the cost.
Product Review: Be suspicious of the other reviews
Summary: 1 Stars
So, I just bought this item. Does it work? I don't know, I haven't tested the water yet to see if it has actually reduced the amount of chlorine in the water. But, what does make me suspicious of this product is that one of the reviews for this product is word-for-word the same on amazon as it is on other sites selling this product. It seems likely then that the manufacturer of this item finds it necessary to plant reviews. Do you really want to patronize a business that falsifies reviews of its products?Product Review: Best shower filter!
Summary: 5 Stars
I HAVE BEEN USING THIS FOR 2 YEARS AND HAVE TO SAY I LOVE IT. YOU DON'T GET THAT DRY FEELING FROM THE CHLORINE IN THE WATER. IT LEAVES YOUR SKIN NICE AND SOFT. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.
