Does anyone know if this filter works with foreign (Brazilian) showers?

I don't know about Brazil, but my daughter used one in Yunnan, China last May.

I would refer you to the Berkey website. They list all the types of things their filters can deal with. Not knowing what the specifics are, I would not be able to say. You could send them an email. I am sure they would respond. I do know that their filter systems are used worldwide for clean water in remote places.

I bought mine for Chile. It comes with a mesh filter and a paper filter. If you are careful, they last. I've had it simce october last year no problem. I will probably get some spare pretty soon in case they break

It depends on where you are. I live in Mexico and the water in Chihuahua city for example is perfectly safe to drink, it is monitored and is actually cleaner than the bottled waters sold by Coca Cola and other companies. The only problem is the chlorine taste so a brita filter works just fine.

I run two inline for my shower in Seattle and it works great. I don't believe one would do the job though, unless you lived somewhere very warm. One is more for providing heated tap water. Washing hands, brushing teeth etc, but not shower volume.

I would say if you're happy with the quality of your water, then you should be fine without the shower filter. My water smelled like swamp water and was extremely hard even with the whole-house softener system. I have the Pelican filter in the shower and the water is great. Very happy with it.

I am not sure, but I do think the filter is different. I am sure it will state which fountain uses which filter.

I didnt try it, but the one that comes with the package is a good shower head, adjustable spray. Great filter. Really makes a difference in the condition of the water. Saves my hair!!

The filter works fine. Washing the filter is easy with water. They make these filters smaller. They are made out of sheet medal so they are a little heavy, compare to the paper filter. My vent is on the ceiling, so I had to put thick weather stripping on one side to hold it in place.

Yes, I was able to connect my hand held shower head to the filter. Thank you Nikaya M. Best regards - Tim

I'm not sur. Logically it seems like it would work with a good filter. I would go on line to Hamilton Beach and give them the serial number and ask them, or see if they have a toll free number and ask them. Sorry I can't effort definitively

Sprite HHC-2 Replacement Shower Filter, 2-Pack. It's compatible with both their hand held models. I love mine and love the fact the filters are made in U.S.A :)

It did for me! The filter should attach to nearly any showerhead, but keep in mind that the filter will make everything sit lower.

The pressure should be OK. You may want to use different shower head than the one provided with the filter.

Yes, bought it for my sister who lives in Brazil and it works there. But check if it'll work in other countries too.

I'm guessing that the filter unit you're talking about is one that is hooked up in the basement and it filters out all the water in the house. If that's the kind you're talking about then it should be ok. It would actually be even better since water filters would remove the high amounts of minerals. It would prevent the shower head from clogging. I don't have a filter unit but the shower head is still working like new.

My shower comes up out of the bathtub instead of the wall. I had to pull it all the way out to reach the connection for the filter, so if that's what you mean by "handheld" then Yes :)
