This filter is about the size of a tin of beans, which seemed large when I took it out of the box but no trouble at all once in place. I have a fairly standard electric shower (cheap housing association issue!) and it was easy to install between the bottom of the shower unit and the hose.
The difference was felt most from the second or third shower; suddenly my hair had its curl back and felt almost the way it does when I visit relatives in a soft water area. I can also see the difference in my partner's long hair. The bath is now much easier to clean, with less residue.
There does not seem to be any effect (either good or bad) on our mediocre water pressure.
The main reason I bought this was in the hope that my son's eczema can improve when he comes home instead of getting worse (we live in a very hard water area). Time will tell, as he has not been home yet, but now that I can see the filter is really working I'll know the water is not to blame in the future.

The shower filter looked excellent quality but unfortunately was incompatible with my shower.
However Customer Service went above and beyond to try and help me and responded to my emails immediately. When it became apparent that my shower was incompatible I was was offered a refund upon return of the unit which went through quickly.
