I will be changing my star rating to a higher one WHEN a representative from Watts Premier or VitaShower explains the reason for the odd metallic odor emanating from the shower water, since adding this filter in both showers.

IN addition to the very strong metallic, iron like odor there is also brown liquid that looks a lot like rust dripping and staining the floor in both showers.
I am considering having a chemist or lab test the contents of the "powder" in the capsule to ensure their is nothing harmful mixed in other than vitamin C as claimed.
We had used the Vitashower filter many years ago and it was a fantastic product that really transformed my dry skin and dry hair, but we never experienced the brown staining and strong metallic smell...what is going on here?
Any comments from other buyers would be appreciated.  Response definitely requested from WATTS PREMIER and VITASHOWER please.

Very nice looking item for this price point and fits as expected but smells TERRIBLE-- very strong musty and mildew-like odor, like it was stored for years in a wet basement.  Friends can smell the odor on and around me when I wear this item.  Airing it out for weeks has helped a little, but unfortunately not very much.  At this point, I am assuming the odor is semi-permanent.  Very disappointing.  I would have gladly paid $20 instead of $10 for an identical item that smells like leather and not someone's flooded basement.

Love the color(brown) with gold accents, pretty good size just has a weird chemically smell. I'm hoping will go away after time, but over all like I it and hope that it doesn't fall apart(some others review as it doing that).

It has a VERY strong plastic odor which transfers to the ice. Took me 5 days of running vinegar through it to get rid of. Ice is not very hard. Its just so-so

I haver 2 of these tripods and ended up having to throw one of them away because there is some type of horrific odor that won't go away. It was also received with broken levels (little ports with liquid and bubble to help you level it).  Interestingly, I the odor is the same on both items received but the first one was not nearly as bad as the second.

Build quality is ok but I would recommend other manufacturers.

Given the smell (glue? coating? Other?) I cannot recommend this product

You need to find a way to change the cheap leather smell it has and odors you cloth. In the pic it looks better.

They say there is no Oder but there is. It smells like gasoline

The description on the product is made of stainless steel but when I was washing it by hand I smell metallic.

The pants arrived in a plastic bag and when they were opened, a foul odor was present.  Smelled like rodent urine or something similar.  We've washed twice and the smell is still present.  We'll wash again with baking soda next.  That should take care of it.  But it reminded me of that Seinfeld episode with the smelly car...  Very surprising and gross.  But the pants look good.

I've loved a Chilly Dog sweater that I purchased about three years ago. That one has become a bit worn, so I decided to get another dog sweater from this same company. When it arrived, it had a strong creosote/petrochemical odor. So, we washed it. The smell was slightly diminished, but remained. Our original Chilly Dog sweater smelled like lanolin when it arrived, which is to be expected. The company may have changed wool suppliers recently. I will be contacting them directly first for help. If that doesn't work, this sweater will be returned to Amazon.

I never even opened the bottle and it somehow stains everything near it orange.  It seems to be giving off fumes.  I also think the fumes may cause nearby metal objects to rust.

Just received the copper mug set, and initially, I was impressed with their appearance.  Upon further inspection I noticed several issues.  I was curious if they would have a smell similar to old copper pennies, but they had a faint odor akin to shoe polish (I kid you not).
I also noticed that inside there were black spots in some of the "hammered" divots.  If I reached in an scraped, I'd get some of the black material on my fingernail.  Okay, so I now thought that this must just be residue from the polishing process that had not been sufficiently cleaned.
So now I tried washing the mugs in the sink, first with a sponge, but then having to switch to a brush to remove what I assume was polishing compound.  At this point, all the black spots were gone, but I could still smell that strange chemical scent.  So I figured a weak solvent might do the trick and started cleaning one of the mugs with Isopropyl  alcohol.  Now the mug's polished finish got cloudy and my hands got slightly sticky from whatever the alcohol dissolved was on the mug.  Once dry, whatever was clouding the mug can be polished off, but now that faint chemical smell is is still emanating from the mug and now my hands (my hands had to be repeatedly washed to eliminate the smell).
These mugs were described as NOT having a lacquer finish, but apparently "something" is  on them. I am disappointed that these obviously have some sort of lacquer on them, even though the description stated otherwise.

Kind of has a brown look to the wood.  The canvas is NOT white it is more of a cream/tan color.

They were spotted with some kind of weird bacteria looking stuff on the inside of the bottles.
