- What does the three-stage design actually do?
- Stage one filters chlorine and other chemicals, stage two softens the water, and stage three adds the aromatherapy element. It is a shower-only treatment, not a whole-house system.
- Will it lower my shower pressure?
- It is rated at 2.5 GPM, which is a standard high-flow shower rate. Expect pressure close to what you had before, though a clogged cartridge will cut flow.
- Does it soften hard water?
- Yes, softening is one of its stages. It conditions the water at the shower only, so other taps and appliances are unaffected.
- How often do the cartridges need changing?
- Replacement depends on your water quality and how much you shower. Plan on periodic cartridge changes, and expect more frequent changes with heavily chlorinated or hard water.
- Will it fit my existing shower head?
- It installs inline at the shower arm, and your shower head threads onto it. Check that you have room at the arm, since the unit adds length.
- Is it a replacement for a whole-house filter?
- No. It treats water at the shower only. If you want filtered water at every tap, you need a whole-house or point-of-use system.
