A handheld shower filter with a 5.75 foot hose and a drop-down cartridge rated for about a year.
$62
Usability
The drop-down cartridge design is the real difference here: it holds noticeably more media than a puck-style shower filter, which means more contact time at the same 2 GPM, and it is reversible so the bed gets used from both ends. The 5.75 foot hose and three-way spray make it the sensible pick for washing children or pets rather than the wall-mounted version. Cartridge life is stated at about a year against roughly six months for most competitors, though Crystal Quest publishes no gallon figure to check that against. Like everything else in the shower range it carries no NSF/ANSI 177 listing, so the chlorine and chloramine claims are entirely manufacturer-stated. At sixty-two dollars it costs seventeen more than the wall unit for the hose and the larger media bed, which is fair value if mobility matters and poor value if it does not.
