- Do you have a Crystal Quest Inline Shower Head Filter? You should know that these filter cartridges are good for up to one year.
But if you want to get the maximum benefits out of it, it's recommended that at about 6 months you remove the cartridge and flip it around. This will "back flush" the filtration media, giving you more longevity from the filter.
And, yes, Crystal Quest recommends you do this. It says it right in their Care & Use instructions in the box. Trust me, once you see the video, you'll see why it's so important to do this. (The filter is NASTY on one side.)
What's nice about the Crystal Quest showerhead filter is that you can pretty easily remove the cartridge without uninstalling the housing from the shower arm OR uninstalling the shower head from. Watch and I'll show you. ;)
In this video, I'm going to show you how to remove the cartridge, clean it out (boy did it need a good cleaning), turn it around and reinstall it.

And in case you were wondering, we're using the All Metal Dual Shower Head by HammerHead Showers in conjunction with this filter:

Honestly though, once you remove your cartridge, you may find that your filter is covered in some funky stuff that built up on the back side of the filter. This means the filter is working!
The Crystal Quest shower filter, IMO, is the best shower head filter available. It is able to remove chlorine, chloramines, VOC's, THM's, pesticides, sulfur, heavy metals, hydrogen sulfide ("rotten egg" odor), iron oxides ("rust water"), dirt, sediment and other odors, all while being pH balanced!
With all of those contaminants being filtered out from the water, it's no wonder the filter cartridge looks the way it does in this video.
With all that said, let’s get into the video and show you how easy it is to get the shower head filter set up to purify your water.

Thank you!
You are very welcome, Angie!
when you're in the shower and there's someone outside your window. 😂
Well, at least I know that it's legit. But there is no way I would use the filter in that condition. Chuck it and replace it. I have really hard water too, so now I know what to expect and that it won't last a year. I hope I make it to 6 months. Thanks! 🙂
Thank you for your feedback. With hard water, regular replacements are essential. You can find our hammerhead shower metal filter here: www.theshowerheadstore.com/collections/accessories/products/metal-shower-head-filter
Have you checked out the invigorated water ph energize shower filter? Wondering how it compares to this one. Thanks!
