I just bought a water softening system and was wondering if it's necessary to also have a water filtering shower head?

Check with the specifications of your filtration system. Some water softeners only remove mineral deposits from your water, so if that's the case then yes you will benefit from this filter as well. If your system removes chlorine then there's no need to use this one. Although you could always buy one to take with you when you travel.

Yes,the whole device is the filter. The component is connect to the water supply line in your shower and you connect your existing shower head to the other end.

The filter should be good for an entire year of use. You would replace the whole device, which is just the filter itself. When you replace the filter, you just remove the filter and the shower head. Install the new filter, run it for a little while to clear out the excess debris, and then attach the shower head. Then you're ready to go. :)

Even though this filter helps to soften water in your house, still a regular softener is more efficient.I would suggest to start with this filter anyway because it is better for your health to remove chlorine,and then add a softener if your water remains hard.

Well from my understanding this system will have to be installed before the water softener if that was the case. It's to remove cap in ur water

I have a well system, and the Home Master system works great, the water is way better than the previous single filter system I had. It would be a good idea to have your well tested for iron levels to make sure your softner system is working properly.

You could do it a few different ways. The way you described your series sounds like it will work. I put the pressure regulator directly on the source so none of my components get damaged. The filter may last longer if it is inline on the "soft side" of the softener since there would be less particulate in the water (in theory). I would also recommend keeping the softener in the shade because it heats up quickly on a sunny day! Enjoy your shower!

It should not make any differences whether you plumb it from a well or after a water softener unit. You should get the unit with a chemical adding filter to add vitamins and nutrients back into the water regardless. The water softener unit will take the hardness minerals out of the water before the reverse osmosis system does.

I'm assuming that you already know the characteristics of your water, e.g. hardness, etc. I just followed the instructions from the manual and watched YouTube videos on installing water softeners. It seemed pretty straightforward after that. Hope that helps.

You do need to have a shower head, but your current one should work just fine. I have a hand held spray in one bathroom and a Waterpik Massage spray in the other. Both work great with the filter.

Yes it does require a shower head,but if you need a shower head www.lifekind.com sells the shower head with the filter in several different shower head styles. I like the shower head that has a 5 ft hose, a shower arm bracket, and a shower handle with massage head. I've had mine for two years now and change the filter as needed.

water filtration systems come in all shapes and sizes. What the water softener/conditioner is going to do for you is protect your fixtures specifically from damage caused by hard water. filtration systems are usually to protect yourself from the chemicals in the water not the calcium, which is actually an essential mineral humans need to survive. that's one of the reasons the Nuvo h2o system is beneficial, it doesn't remove the minerals that are good for you but simply allows them not to cling to your fixtures. hope this helps

It came with a filter system, but I purchase a straight sand filter that was 1.5 horse power to keep it clean. I have hard water, but the sand filter works great for me. Otherwise the pool has been great so far.

According to the manual on Culligan's site (http://www.culligan-store.com/pdfs/RDSH-C115%2001020711a%20Manual%20E-S%2011%2008.pdf), it says "Note: showerhead will not function without a filter cartridge in place."

Don't remember all my research but I think not as I paired mine with a Berkey shower filter first in line to remove "junk." Whole system works great!

I can't really say for sure, but I don't think so. I don't notice the water being any "softer" with the filter.

Unfortunately no you must replace the bottom filter and plastic(one piece).the top piece of plastic connected to the shower head and the water source pipe may be reused.
