SHOWERSTICK

I work for a water treatment company in Texas and text people’s water for a living. I bought all those gimmicky shower heads you all see ads for online and literally none of them remove hardness from the water and most don’t even remove the chlorine. I recommend this shower head to so many people on a daily basis because of how much I trust and believe in their quality product! I’m also not a big review guy but yall deserve it !

Easy install. Nice they include test strips – our water was definitely hard before and it was nice to verify it was soft after install. Only one person using the shower twice a day and so we don’t need to recharge it until about week 3 which is nice. We had a whole house filter that had a de-scaler, but for some reason the metal for the drain is calcium attracting – only in the one bathroom! So instead of having to put in a whole house water softener which would remove our calcium (that we want to drink), this took care of the one problem shower!

I have been using my water softener for a year and am very pleased with how it works, feels, and the ease of taking care of it. I have had only positive interactions with customer support and really appreciate the honest approach of the company with all the information they share on their website. I can definitely feel a huge difference by touch between hard and soft water now, and it’s helped a lot with hair breakage and skin dryness.

After moving to a state (Texas) with extremely hard water, I was noticing a drastic change to my scalp. Within two years of living here and using only shower “filters” purchased on Amazon, my scalp became extremely itchy all the time and I was suffering from dandruff and hair loss (which were never issues my whole life). After months of research, I wondered if the hard water was the cause of my issues. After hearing about WaterSticks through Reddit, I decided to give it a try. After having installing and using the WaterSticks for 2 months now, all I can say to the company is THANK YOU! It occurred to me tonight that I literally have not had any scalp issues (itchiness, flakes, etc) since I started using the Watersticks. I literally cannot thank you guys enough for inventing and selling this product!! My only wish is that I found it sooner when I moved to Texas to avoid all the scalp issues it caused! Not only has it significantly improved my scalp and skin health, I just love showering in the soft, silky smooth water. I feel so luxurious and it makes showering so much more enjoyable (lol). My partner even noticed a huge difference in his skin and he absolutely loves showering with the WaterSticks! I now recommend this product to my friends in Texas because I honestly believe its been such a game changer. Again, a massive thank you guys for creating this product!!!!

Since moving to an area with extremely hard well water, I noticed that my hair became dull looking and dry. A whole house softener is not an option where we live so I purchased the shower stick. I’ve been using it for a few week and since then my hair became so healthy looking!
I can’t remember the last time it looked this nice. It’s soft and shiny, with less tangles. I have hardly any fly aways or frizz. It’s just smooth and glossy.
The only downside is that I need to regenerate the resin very frequently due to the hardness of our water. But that’s something I’m fine with doing since the results are well worth it!
Thank you for creating such a wonderful product!

This was very easy to install, it arrived super quickly and works perfectly. 100% recommend WaterSticks it is amazing.

I’ve lived most of my life on well water and also city water, all of these sources of water in varying degrees has really taken a toll on my hair & skin. I am so glad I stumbled upon the Showerstick. I’d never even heard of your product and was completely intrigued. Yes, I had contemplated buying one of those shower filters that cost about $150 and then the subscription on top of that for replacement filters. I had no idea they do NOTHING for hard water! I figured what did I have to lose by purchasing/investing in the Showerstick, so I took the plunge! I’m so glad I did! This is more cost effective then a whole home system and I don’t mind regenerating the stick every couple of days to have that soft hair, clean skin feeling. Yes, I’m guilty of long hot showers and so is my husband, so regenerating more often is better then not having this amazing system! Thank you for this product Its worth every penny in my book!!

I never leave reviews and I just have to share how thankful I am to have found this product/company. All the information they put on this site is so helpful and I was skeptical at first but all the thorough explanations made sense and convinced me to try this.

Filters don’t work when you have hard water like he mentions. This is a true portable water softener that does wonders for my hair and scalp.

I grew up in a house with water softener and then move to a nashville apt. The water is hard here and my hair felt so different and scalp was itchy. This is the best solution that makes water feel the same as the home I used to live.

I’m so so grateful and cannot recommend this enough.

To be honest, I was very skeptical about this product working. I have tried multiple water filters, various clarifying shampoos, etc. and it always felt like there was still some residue left no matter what I did. I got the softener and the KDF filter and tried them out. I can’t describe the massive difference it has made for my hair. It feels like my hair is truly clean for the first time in years. You do have to refresh it once every 7-10 days for the best results, but I think it’s very much worth it. I highly recommend this product.

I have very hard well water that was causing horrible hair shedding and turning my hair orange. Wish I would of found the waterstick a lot sooner. Only have had this one week already seeing improvement to the condition of the hair. Excellent product.

I’ve had to research and hundreds of dollars to find out the truth about water filters at the store and how they claim to soften hard water I live in San Diego CA and the water is extremely hard I hear second to that of India I went from getting thick scales of soap scum on my feet and itchy skin hair falling out nails looking horrible to actually amazingly soft water this product is amazing!!
I also believe that frequency of cleaning it has to do with duration of showers as well as how hot water preferences are at least at my home more cleaning when hot showers are taken allot thank you for this revolutionary product thank you for selling the replacement parts as well we Applaud

So glad I found this! We live in Vegas part time and can’t live without a water softener for showering. The building our condo is in does not have individual hot water heaters so there is no way to install a water softener (boiler on the roof for all units) and we were about to move before I came across this. It saved us from moving! Thank you so much. Please don’t ever stop making these!

You do need to regenerate every few days more or less depending on how hard your water is, how long your showers are, and how many people are using the shower. Regeneration is very quick and simple. I got it down to about 1-2 minutes of work each time. There are probably ways to make this even faster or completely automated.

I’ve been using the ShowerStick for about 6 months now and, and it has—without exaggeration—changed my life. IT WORKS!! Highly recommended for anyone struggling with hard water (especially those with low-porosity hair and/or sensitive skin). I recently moved to the midwest and struggled with hard water for a couple years—my head and hair always felt gross, dirty, and uncomfortable no matter what I tried (by the time I finally ordered a ShowerStick, I was washing my hair with distilled water in a pot); it was frustrating and demoralizing. Thanks to some Reddit research, I learned about and ordered the ShowerStick. I was delighted and downright emotional the first time I showered, felt the back of my head, and found that my hair actually moved! (And as a bonus, my skin is less dry and itchy too.)

The ShowerStick is well worth the investment. Many thanks to the WaterSticks team!

I wish I had found this product years ago! Well worth investing in this product for amazing soft water you can enjoy immediately. My hair and skin were dry from showering with the hard water from my well. I tried other “water filters” that did nothing to improve it. The first time I showered after installing the showerstick I immediately noticed how soft the water felt and how much lather was created with my shampoo and soap. I find I don’t need anywhere near the amount of product I used to use because my hair was so dry nor do I need my flat iron anymore. My skin was very dry and now has noticeably improved. I couldn’t be more pleased with my purchase. There is a regeneration process you need to do regularly to keep softening the water but it is extremely easy to do and only takes about 5 minutes. I highly recommend this product!!! Thank you WaterSticks!!

I can’t believe how well this works. I’ve had hard water for 2 years and have suffered through it because I thought there was nothing I could do. I could tell a difference after the first shower with this. Absolutely worth every penny. Thank you!

Moved to a new house in July of 2020 and never really thought much about my water. The new house was on a well, but it wasn’t something I thought would be an issue. I started noticing how dry and frizzy and limp my hair was getting, even just days after cutting off dead ends! Thought I was crazy, until I researched what else could be causing it, since I have been doing my hair the same for 10+ years – all that had changed was the water. I’ll say this, after one wash with the shower stick, I can already feel a difference in my hair. Less frizz, my curls are already springing back and it’s noticeably softer. Even my husband commented that my skin felt soft to touch prior to my slathering on body lotion. I wish I had found this solution sooner, I could have saved myself inches and inches of hair…. Will most likely be buying another unit or two, since it’s not in our budget for the near future to put in a whole house system. Love it, 10/10, would recommend.

I’ve been using my waterstick for nearly 20 years, if you can believe! Everytime I move to a new home I make the mistake of thinking I don’t need a this anymore, and within a few months, out of storage it comes. I have curly hair. Everywhere I go people comment on the texture of my hair and ask what products I use. I explain that this water filter is the most important part of my hair routine. You can even taste the difference in your shower water – crazy, but try it. The water coming out of this tastes clean and practically like it came from a stream.

Want more proof? I had only been using the KDF portion of this filter for the last year. While using just that my hairdresser told me that my hair was so dry that I needed to do a deep conditioning mask at least once a week. One day it dawned on me – I went back to using the full Waterstick (regenerating with salt water). Just saw my hairdresser and it was like completely different hair to her. I also noticed I was having a lot of hair come out in the drain after showering – after resuming full application of my waterstick – that has stopped.

This thing is absolutely essential and no other shower filter can match it.

Dear Lisa,

Thank you for your outstanding customer service. I just wanted to let you know that my Showerstick finally arrived! And now, well this is A LIFE CHANGER.

I have to say I wasn’t expecting this to work this well. Oh my God! I used your water hardness testing kit and figured my water was 11-12 grains of hardness. After I tested the water from Showerstick it took only a tiny bit of liquid to form a nice lather. Well I said, now let’s see. The most significant difference for me is in how my hair felt. It was finally SO CLEAN, I actually got chills down my spine as I was straightening my hair from how soft and with a nice natural smell it was. I haven’t felt like this in years. I totally think your product deserves so much more awareness and especially here in Europe, it took me a lot of research to finally stumble upon you. From now on, I will be recommending your product to everyone I meet. I actually wish I could turn back time and all those wasted “bad hair days” when I was staying at home just because my hair was a total mess and I was feeling so ugly…you know what I mean. This for me is the start of a new life, and I mean it. Thank you Watersticks!

I will be spreading a word here in Europe and everywhere I go because I bet there are so many girls out there fighting their own “hard water battle” the same as I was for so many years.

Thank you again and I wish you many many happy customers.

My warm regards from Slovakia,
Andrea

For the past 4 years I have been living with Eczema with no help in sight. I was told to use moisturizing soaps and lotions/creams but nothing seemed to help with the dry skin or itching. I would put lotion on and within minutes my skin was dry again. My hair was also feeling brittle and my nails broke easily (even though I’m a guy and kept them short). I found that hard water might be the cause of my situation. After finding out that our newly built home was in no way able to have a whole home water softener installed due to the plumbing designs I searched and searched and searched. I finally found WaterSticks and saw it’s rave reviews on YouTube. After the first shower I felt immediate relief! While reversing my dry/itchy/eczema skin isn’t an overnight process I was quite shocked at the initial relief. Since then things have only gotten better. Simple to install, easy to maintain with nothing but benefits to hair/skin/nails. The only drawback is water pressure. We have high water pressure in our home and having the WaterStick and filter installed does greatly reduce it. Not to the point the shower is unusable but you can notice it. This should be a given thought to anyone installing something like this. The water does have to pass through the filter and the WaterStick so a reduction in some water pressure is a given. Will that stop making me use it? Absolutely not. At this point I cannot shower without my WaterStick. I don’t know what I will do when I travel. I cannot praise nor thank the creators of WaterStick enough for what they have done. If you’re on the fence on purchasing, understand you will not be disappointed. Oh and shipping was fast and communication was great (just check your SPAM folder as your email my filter it there). Thank you WaterSticks!

Genius invention which is my must have in Florida! Thank you WaterSticks for saving my skin and hair! Amazing customer service that goes above and beyond to make their customers happy!!

We were introduced to the Showerstick for my kids eczema and we just love it. I have a whole home salt free water system already and didn’t want to invest in an entire new whole home solution so the Showerstick was our best option.

Also, customer service is highly responsive, super friendly and professional. They are a pleasure to work with and I have recommended their products to all my family and friends.

I lived in Arkansas for several years where the water is naturally soft. When I returned to Texas my lower arms broke out into a pimple like rash that I never could totally get rid of. After spending a few days at my parents with their whole house water softening system I finally figured out the problem is the water. After a few weeks of using the ShowerStick my arms have totally cleared up and as an added bonus my permed hair is staying nice and curly. My water tested at 16 grains before the ShowerStick. Very easy to install and maintain. Will easily pay for itself over time because I won’t have to waste money on skin products that didn’t work to clear up the rash.

I’ve been dealing with hard water for a couple of years since moving to an area with harder water than I was used to, and my hair and skin were always dry and just not doing well overall. I kept seeing research that simple water filters don’t work to truly soften water, but I didn’t see an alternative that wasn’t way too expensive for my budget (besides the fact that apartment living means I can’t filter all the water to my home). I couldn’t find a ton of information on this product elsewhere so honestly I was a little suspicious because it seemed too good to be true and there were no negative reviews. Finally I just bought it really hoping it would work! Easy installation and the results were instant and amazing. So relieved to have an affordable and practical solution to the hard water in my apartment, I felt a difference after the very first use! I really liked that it came with a water hardness test kit so that you could check the difference after installation.

Our water is very hard at an average of 350ppm (20 grains). When I did the water test, it took 13 drops to get a good suds up to the blue line. I have been suffering with itchy scalp, resulting in hair thinning and loss of hair. It was too late when I realised that the water was the problem. We’d moved to this new area from an area with soft water and during the two years by hair was slowy suffering and our recent move to our current hosue in the area highlighted the issue because the landlord had not flushed the heater and there was sooo much buidup on top of already super hard water. My scalp was so irritated to the point of bleeding. I was at the end of my rope and wanted to install a whole house system, but this quickly became complicated as I rent and I didn’t want to shell out thousands to upgrade our garage (we need a dedicated electric outlet). So I searched and found this and I cannot be happier that I did. IT REALLY WORKS and I cannot wait for my hair to flourish and go back to normal. Thank you for making this and really solving my problem!

My hard well water was destroying my hair, skin, and self confidence. I spent months searching for a solution. Spending thousands of dollars on a water softener was out of the question for me. A filter wouldn’t work since it doesn’t soften water. That’s when I came across this product in a Reddit form. It literally was exactly what I needed. I noticed a different in my hair I’m skin just in the first week. This really is a life saver and has lifted a lot of stress out of my life.

Today I installed my Watersticks water softening unit. I included the KDF accessory. It was easy to install – I referred to both the videos in your library and the written instructions. The written instructions alone were all I really needed – they were very clear. I tested the water before I installed and it tested as very hard, requiring 10 or 11 drops. After a successful and easy installation I took my first shower. WOW! I could FEEL the difference. The water felt silky. My skin feels softer. With ONE shower! After my shower, I tested the water and it required just one drop – so it went from very hard to the softest level of soft. I’m overjoyed. This has made my day. I have been losing a lot of hair and I suspect that showering in very hard water for 15 years has played a role. I can’t wait to see if the hair fall lessens over time now. I expect it will, though to be fair there are a lot of reasons that hair fall can increase. Out of the gate I will say this purchase was so worth it and I am grateful that WaterSticks products exist. I had been looking for several years for something to soften my shower water. Because I live in a large apartment building, whole home systems are simply not an option. Other in-shower systems filter but don’t soften. I feel like I hit the jackpot!

Before I gotten the water stick , my skin would always itch soon after stopping the water. I could never understand this would happen for many years. I teamed up with a holistic coach during the summer 2020. She recommended WaterSticks.com. I am So very pleased and will definitely invest in the future on such great quality.

After doing quite a bit of research on hard water areas, I realized northwest Indiana was one of these areas. Makes sense because my wavy-curly hair always seemed to be dry and I had scalp build-up no matter what products I used. It’s only been a few weeks, and already my hair is noticeably softer and so much easier to style. I can FEEL the softness in the water. Everything rinses easily. Using a lot less product overall which is a huge plus too! I highly recommend this product!!!

I just have to say I’ve been searching for two years for a product to save my hair from hard water.
I’ve tried every other filter on the market, and even submitted to washing my hair with bottled water.
I have tested the water of many different whole house systems. Many of which had a $6,000 price tag.
As a Hairstylist, I have to say this is one of the BEST things that has ever happened to my hair! This is the only thing I’ve ever found that actually WORKS! It’s a night and day noticeable difference after ONE shower. I can’t thank you guys enough for this wonderful product. I will be recommending this product to every single one of my clients!
Not only is it going to save our hair but it is saving us THOUSANDS of dollars on a whole house water softener.
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!! I am SO PLEASED!!!!!

I recently purchased this product and had to reach out to their customer service for help with installation. The service was quick & stellar. They helped me get my softener installed and now I have a shower with 0 grains of hardness, down from 10! It’s an extremely efficient, effective product with awesome customer service. Highly recommended.

I’ve been having hair issues for a couple of years now, which I have tried pretty much everything to help, but my hair was super dry and never felt soft enough. This came in the mail and I’ll admit it was a little hard for me to install only because my shower head was hard to take off, but once my dad helped with that the rest was easy peasy. Regeneration also only takes five minutes (I was worried that would be a hassle but it’s really quick and easy). I’m soooo happy with the results, my hair feels amazingly soft and my skin feels so hydrated. I’m interested to see if this will help my hair grow back (it was thinning, maybe my city’s “very hard” water was apart of the problem?) I HIGHLY reccommend water stick!!! Even my brother who was super skeptical and didnt want to try it, tried it and said it completely changed his mind and his skin/hair felt fantastic. So thankful I got this, best purchase I’ve made in a long time. Thank you Waterstick!

Holy Moly. I am the happiest gal on the earth. I have never suffered from excema. In fact I thought it was something you just had to be born with. NOPE. I moved into my new house, and about 30 days in, my skin all over my body was in complete shock. I have an excema flare under my arms that is just terrible!! It’s unsightly. I itch EVERYWHERE! Especially all the crevices. The water stick is such an inexpensive solution to a HUGE water softener system. It’s so easy to install and it’s able to be used right away and lasts for up to 10 years??? It’s incredible. You can’t put a price on incredible healthy skin and hair. Hard water can do terrible damage. As I have learned. I took my first shower tonight and I can’t praise this device enough. The water feels amazing and my skin will be repaired in 30 days. My hair has never felt so good. In fact, I’ll come back here and update you with the results. Even with a before and after photo of my terrible temporary excema due to the hard water and high alkalinity in my home. Please never stop making the Waterstick. I hope you have a patent on this because you should be making millions. Everyone should buy one! I should have bought this when I lived in an apartment! What a solution!

I grew up with soft water from a well that had sulfur in it. As a result of that, my sister, mother and I had always had soft, manageable, fast-growing hair while living at home, but I always thought it was good genes and not our soft water. I recently moved into town with my boyfriend and something changed. My dirty blond hair got darker, dry, stiff, and no matter how much I washed it, it felt coated with heavy residue with an itchy, scaly buildup on my scalp. It also started breaking and thinning out at the root. It took me months to figure out hard water was the culprit. My mother had always said to beware of “city water”, but I didn’t know it was this bad. We tried various filters, hard water/chelating shampoos/treatments (which dried my hair out more), and even rinsing my hair with store-bought spring water. All to no avail.

I was on the brink of tears over the state of my hair and skin when my boyfriend found this site. We ordered one right away and the kit told us our water very hard! Which I knew because of the state of my hair and skin and the white buildup on our shampoo bottles.

After the install, the change was like night and day. I no longer fear taking a shower. I can relax under the water because it doesn’t feel like it’s assaulting me. My skin and hair feel soft and clean. No more dulling, drying mineral buildup or that “sticky-dry” sensation on the skin. My scalp doesn’t feel tender to the touch and shampoo actually lathers! I am an anxious person with sensory issues and showers calm me down so this means the world to me. And it’s only been a few washes! I can’t thank the folks at Watersticks enough for this fantastic product. Maybe now I can grow my hair out.

For the last year I was pulling out handfuls of hair, and had a burning hot scalp and dry itchy skin. Not to mention a steamy shower irritated my lungs also. I’ve used this water stick with the kdf filter twice and literally my hair stopped shedding overnight. We rent and buying a large system isn’t an option. By the way my test didn’t bubble till I used 19 drops of soap-yikes!!!!!!! Utah water- ughh (Prior to installation) Anyways thank you!-I hope it continues to be so wonderful!
Ps awesome customer service with my questions and installation help!
Thank you!

The showerstick has been a godsend!! I signed a lease on a house that has well water. I thought, “no big deal, I’ve lived in well water before”. Not well water like this! It comes out brown/reddish colored, and smells like pennies. I’d tried a couple shower head filters from Amazon.. and noticed the water still smelled, my nails were now becoming stained brown, and hands/feet/hair super dry.. Yuck!! How am I going to live the next few months like this?! It’s only been 2 weeks and it’s only going to get worse. Thankfully, I read an Amazon review under a showerhead filter that said they don’t work- the only thing that works are showersticks. So I checked out the showerstick website and gave a call to ask some questions. I was met with a wonderful conversation, and a wealth of knowledge/tips to help me in my rusty water situation. I ordered the showerstick along with the add on filter- I was *serious* about doing it the right way, and getting out all the contaminants. I was counting down the days of my delivery and installed my showerstick right when it got dropped off! Set up was super easy- I just had to make a few adjustments, as there was a slight leak at the top part at first. All good after that! And let me tell you.. that first shower was GLORIOUS!!! Clean, clear, amazing feeling water (and no more funny smell!) My skin felt so soft, and truly clean after! I used the test kit that was included, to see the difference between my regular water, and water that went through the showerstick filter. It took 13 (!!!) drops of the solution to get sudsing with my untreated water.. only 1 drop of the solution that went through the showerstick! Massive difference!
So grateful that I’ll be able to enjoy my shower time from here on out.. I appreciate the wonderful service, time spent chatting, and phenomenal product! Yay showerstick :D

At this time I have had the shower stick for 3 months or so and am extremely grateful for this product. Previously in my house I had a water softening and RO system, but after moving into my apartment I noticed all sorts of ailments with my skin and hair (hair being gunky/slimy and skin scaly and dry). After much research, many different hair and skin products, I have a cabinet full now, I decided to purchase a filter for the shower which helped a lot (the gunk was mostly gone), but did not eliminate all issues.

Someone reviewing the water filter I purchased on Amazon mentioned “water sticks” and using a “shower stick” – wow – what a difference. The reason I went back to the product reviews for the filter, was to find out what others were encountering since my issues were not solved. Well, the moment I saw this mentioned in the reviews I went after it – and what a great customer service. Now my hair is soft and feels like hair and my skin has been clearing up feeling so much better. I added my review for that particular water filter as well – also mentioning “shower stick” and “water sticks” after having purchased the shower stick and used it for a little while.

And as someone else noted in the review section of the shower stick – I don’t know why this site or product did not come up throughout my searches other than the customer review on Amazon. Thank you again!!!

Well I am here to buy number 2. The first one I bought for college and left it there when I moved into my friends house as they had a whole home unit. Minnesota has a special type of water we like to call “liquid rock”. I grew up with a kinetico softner. The Showerstick is a real water softener. The crew at watersticks have done their homework and made a wonderful product so we apartment dwellers can enjoy soft water too.
With our water quality and the fact that there was three of us, I would re-gen twice a week, probably unesessary for most people but, as a psoriasis sufferer I didnt want to risk it. I kept a 1 liter water bottle full with saltwater under the counter in the bathroom I would re-gen 1 hour before a shower. I would unscrew the wand and fill the bottle with water after that first fresh shower.
If you do not have a well, like me, I cant recommend highly enough to add a KDF filter to your order you wont regret it.

I have been using the ShowerStick for about 3 months now and completely love it! I suffer from seborrheic dermatitis and recently moved to an area with hard water that was causing my skin to flare-up. I tried multiple different shower filters but none of them worked because they didn’t actually soften the water. The ShowerStick has completely solved this though! The water is soft and you can feel it because of the slippery feeling you get in your hands when using soap or shampoo. The flare-ups completely disappeared and my skin is back to being healthy! The other reason I would highly recommend this product is because of the service you receive. Since purchasing, I’ve contacted Lisa at least 5-6 or times by phone/email to ask questions I had about the product. In each instance, she replied promptly and gave such a thorough and honest answer that it felt like I was talking to a close friend who was genuinely concerned about what was best for me. I never expected to receive this level of customer service and am so happy to have come across this company. Thanks for everything Watersticks, you’ve earned my loyalty!

I moved into a rental with heavy iron in the water during the summer of 2014. My hair became dry, brittle, and discolored. My hairdresser told me that I would need to stop washing my hair with the well water, or I would need to look for a wig to wear, as it was breaking and falling out. In October, I purchased the ShowerStick Shower Water Softener with iron control. This is a great product, and easy to use. I have no regrets with the purchase, and after 2 years, the ShowerStick is still working well. Thank you for a great product!

I just wanted to thank you and your company for this incredible and unique piece of equipment. It has completely changed my shower (and my life, to be honest). I no longer fear my shower! My skin and hair aren’t just back to normal when I get out of the shower, but better than a regular shower! I only wish I had a showerstick installed in EVERY shower I use Thank you all so much for working with me. I am so, so happy that I bought this. Everything has been great and simple through the install and the regenerating.

Thank you Watersticks for solving a problem that has plagued me for years. I had tight red burning skin with eye discharge, indicating an allergy. I also developed psoriasis. It was painful and visibly upsetting. I visited many doctors, who prescribed steroids and topical creams, but nothing worked. Finally, one doctor had me tested for common allergens found in hard water. Turns out, I was positive. I quickly realized it was the hard water that I was showering in that was the culprit. Because I live in an apartment, a permanent water softener was not viable. Fortunately I found the portable Waterstick. It was easy to install and simple regeneration maintains the product like new. Within a few days my skin irritation resolved and I have had no problems ever since. I highly recommend the Waterstick if you have skin irritation and have had no resolution with doctors.

I wanted to let you know that I am so happy with this purchase. I’ve been using the Waterstick for 2 months and it is saving my hair! I have lived in the Northern Virginia/DC metro area for over a decade. I have always had difficulty with my hair drying out, breaking, and looking dull. After several years in this area of horribly damaged hair, I realized that the culprit was the water. It is so hard and chemically treated, and it was ruining my hair. I had always had long, soft, shiny hair growing up and into young adulthood, and I craved to have that back. A few months ago I started researching for a solution to the area’s hard water problem. I know that houses can have water softeners, but living in the city means that I am confined to small apartment living, which means no water softener for me. And then I came across Watersticks – the portable water softener that is perfect for apartment living. I immediately ordered it and have been so happy ever since installing it. The directions for assembling and installing the Waterstick are very easy. I am not handy at all, but was able to do it in about 15-20 minutes. From the first usage I could feel a difference on my hair and skin. Regenerating is easy, and I tend to do it frequently (every 4 showers) because I try to maintain a zero hard water flow. I take long showers (15 or so minutes), and I have very strong water pressure (so a lot of soft water is pushed through rapidly). I am now ordering the flow control valve to help the soft water last longer. But even still, this is the best purchase for my hair. Thank you, Watersticks!

I had my shower stick sitting around my living room for a couple weeks dreading the installation. Silly me. All parts present and in perfect condition. Instructions simple to follow and written in layman’s English. Fifteen minutes to assemble (five of which were finding a wrench in the dark to take off the old shower head). Ran the water through to flush while testing for hardness. At twenty minutes I was in the shower enjoying the nicest shower I’ve had in years! Used half the shampoo I normally do and didn’t need lotion. Bought the giant box of salt from the warehouse club – recharge will cost about 15 cents per week. Sturdy, well built product, fast service, reduced the hardness of my shower from 20 grains to none (I live in the PA mountains). Thanks and regards!

Dear WaterSticks, I just wanted to write a quick email to sincerely thank you for a great product! After installing the portable water softener in my shower, I am so happy to say that my hair finally feels 100% back to normal after 2 years of dealing with the effects of hard water in my house. When I purchased your product, I was skeptical that anything could solve this problem. Within 2 showers, my hair and skin feel great again! Thank you!!! In addition, I was very impressed with how easy it was to install the water softener – thank you for providing clear instructions. I have already recommended your product to a number of friends who also deal with hard water. Keep up the great work!

Dear WaterSticks, We have been fighting dry skin every winter, we live in Michigan and the winters are dry and the water is very hard; I later confirmed that with your handy hard water test kit. I knew that our apartment had hard water from the beginning because when I drank it, it made me even more thirsty! Every winter I get dry patches on my shoulders and my hands and face become so dry it hurts. I even purchased a high output humidifier and we still have dry skin. Thank you for a great product that actually softens the water! I put the Waterstick to the ultimate test, I took a shower and did not use any of the in-shower lotion or use any face lotion after my shower. On the very first shower, not only was my face and body not dried out as it usually does, but I noticed while I was reading in bed that the dry patches on the side of my shoulders are now completely gone; I no longer smell like a girl after I shower from all the lotion! I also noticed that my wife’s hair is not everywhere anymore, it used to be in the drain after every shower and all over the bathroom floor after she brushed her hair, the softened water has made it stronger so it doesn’t break or fall out anymore. You should sell these things at a mall kiosk or something, the results are that of an infomercial! Thank you again!

I moved into a great apartment that has extremely hard water (high calcium, hydrogen sulphide, high rust, etc) and despite the damage it will eventually cause to the plumbing and fixtures in the entire building, I was unable to convince the landlord to install a whole-building water softener. So I ordered a Waterstick with rust remover for my shower. I’ve been using it for a week, now, and I can’t believe what a difference it makes! It might sound weird, but showering is such a pleasant experience now, I like to imagine angels singing as I wash my hair! My skin glows and my long hair has the same natural softness it used to have when I was a kid. I no longer need all the additional products I used to use to make my hair look/feel better. The amount of shampoo and conditioner I need to use has been cut in half, so I’m saving a TON of money on hair care products. Not only that, but I’ve noticed that I’m losing a lot less hair while blow-drying and styling, and my scalp feels great not dry or tight. Additionally, the soft, ph-balanced water allows me to feel cleaner, longer. Usually, a few hours into my day, that freshly-showered feeling would be gone, but not anymore! I still feel fresh and my hair smells great even after a long day at the office. The only drawback with this wonderful product: You’ll be spoiled for anything less when you stay somewhere else! The installation instructions were complete and easy to follow, and shipping was prompt. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product.

Dear Rick, I have recently purchased one of your watersticks and am very impressed by the results, which were instant. I have a skin condition and have not had to use medicated cream since using this product which is amazing on so many levels.

Hello Rick, I am impressed with the Shower WaterStick. After I ordered the product, I was planning on what I was going to have to purchase at the local hardware store to install it. I was very surprised to find everything was included. I feel like I ordered bread and was served cake. Thank you very much!

My name is Anthony House, I live in Tasmania- Australia. I purchased my shower water softener from you around 2-3 months ago. You should be commended on such a fantastic product. Kind regards,

Probably don’t send many ShowerSticks here (Australia) because I’m in Melbourne most of our city water is pretty good. Country water may be a problem so most people would get an installation for the whole house. I bought mine for medical purposes (mild psoriasis) and the feedback on them is pretty good as I need to use a salt based softener but do not wish to get anything installed in the house – it’s also very difficult to find them here if you’re in a city. I have attended to the extra postage cost and await delivery. Regards,

Hi Rick, By the way, I absolutely LOVE the WaterStick. The water in our area is so bad that we have to regenerate several times a week but it’s really worth it. I have been battling eczema issues for the last 10 years – my doctor even had me try experimental treatments. But I finally figured out it was the water when I went to visit my parents in another city and my skin cleared up. They have a regular water softener at their house. When I came back home, my skin got bad again. The first time I used the WaterStick, there was an immediate improvement in my skin.. Anyway, I’m going to be telling my doctor about it the next time I see him. Thanks for your awesome invention!
