I have been very pleased with my latest purchases. I see i can't give brand names? But,  have to say a new shower filter (that fits on existing shower head and has several speeds...great for long hair) AND a bath ball (that hangs on tub tap...tub fills more slowly but worth the wait for me) are a pleasure. So far so good, with 3 baths and several showers,  as far as flares go and my hair and skin feel softer and healthier. Generally I have a sense of well-being while enjoying the cleaner water. I now smile when I step into shower or immerse my body in a hot bath.
