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.

Thank you guys for inventing this.. I was literally crying due to the god awful smell from the water after i moved from california to texas. I finally feel like i had a shower after i step out. I have no skin allergies and issues, but this helps u feel fresh instead off feeling like i have chlorine sprayed on me. Again i cant thank you enough. You guys are awesome

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!
