Sprite SL2-BN Universal Slim-Line2 Shower Filter, Brushed Nickel

I learned about this filter from Water Filter Guru, where he compared 10 popular filters and ran lab tests on the water before and after installation. This product came in a close second for water quality, but it was a much better value than the first place option. I saw a few reviews mentioning leaks, so I purchased some Teflon tape and Tru Blu pipe thread sealant for the installation. I had absolutely no leakage, and the water flow and pressure were not affected at all. The fit was perfect, and it does not take up too much room or make the shower head sit too low like some other products. I also ordered an On The Go water softener to soften the water after filtering. This setup has worked great, and I can definitely see the difference in water quality. Keep in mind that these filters do not soften water on their own. None of them do. A portable RV water softener is the best option if you want soft water. This filter is the best option for removing chlorine and other contaminants.

Great price, easy to install, protects the skin from chemicals in the water.

I purchased the Sprite Shower filter as a gift to my daughter's household. I purchased one myself back in 2024 at Home Depot, and it changed my life. It is worth the upgrade to my health, wellbeing, and overall showering / cleansing experience. Great quality, efficient filtering system. I felt the difference in water quality shower one. The filter housing has held up nicely for me as well. The filter is really easy to change. Do check the O gasket, though, to make sure it is seated properly every time. Easy visual during a filter change. I love the convenience of Sprite having an Amazon store that I can sub my filter replacements on the recommended schedule without thinking about it. It arrives, and I know it's time.

As other comments have said that it leaks, well, yes, it does. In fact, it squirted everywhere the first install. Then after teflon tape on both ends, it settled down. There is still a small dribble, but nothing to make it not usable. Hair feels definitely softer after using it. I will likely buy more for the other shower heads in the house. However, it says the filter needs replacing every 4-6 months, and that could add up.

Easy install. I’m a bit concerned on durability. Feels a bit flimsy and easy to break when changing filters when needed. So far I’d say it’s worth the money spent.

Install was easy but it did require 2 gaskets on the shower head side since the male threaded end was too short. Everything looked good until it started leaking from inside. I took the thing apart a couple times trying to get the 2 internal o-rings to seal. I even put some plumbers grease on them to help seal but it would eventually leak. Returning this one & going to try one more to see if I just got a bad one. PITA to return since it now has to be dropped at a Staples store or I have to pay to drop it at a UPS. I’ll update this review after the replacement is here. Update-New one showed thanks to Amazon's speedy service. This one leaked worse than the first. My wife wanted to try this filter to see if it would help clean out what little iron that is in our well water. I ended up disassembling the unit. I had a tube of white silicone that I used for plumbing/exterior stuff so I put a little bit on each end of the filter where it seats against the o-ring & put it back together. After I let it dry a while I installed it & no more leaks. If you do this or use the plumber's putty as mentioned else where keep in mind you have to get the unit apart again to change the filter. Basically use just enough to seal the filter to the o-ring but not so much you get it all over the threads have a hard time getting it unscrewed. Don't get me wrong the unit looks nice with the brushed nickel finish & feels well built. Still after both units leaked at the same location that should have been properly sealed at the factory I stand by my rating. The jury is still out on how it functions as a filter but for now at least it's not leaking.

Installed fine but when I measured my water with a TDS meter, the reading went from 270 to 260. So a slight improvement but not as much as I hoped.

Perfect for shower,

Me dio usada y mal desgastados, ni tienen paquete plástico. No recomiendo de comprar con ese proveedor.

The female part is very deep and no washer with filter, however the rest are ok

It is one of the best Shower filters I ever bought. It is the 2nd year in a row that I bought this one with no regrets. My first one, I bought in California when I was studying over there and brought it with me to Australia. Before I got the 2nd one (because I didn’t know I could’ve bought through Amazon Australia), I ordered one from a different company and tried to use that one for a month; what a mistake!! My skin was so dry, my feet looked like sandpaper, it was a waste of money. Then, I just ordered this one through Amazon Australia and soon I plugged it in, it worked so well. To get this one, you need to have extra parts to make this to work. It is worth going an extra step to have this filter in your shower. For those wondering how to get it working, Please see the photos with the extra parts I had to buy.

Ce n'est indiqué nulle part mais produit Incompatible avec le standar français parce que filetage femelle bien trop profond. (Européen?). Je laisse 5* pour ne pas plomber inutilement la note puisque je n'ai pas pu tester le produit.

Family trusted shower water filter. Great for getting the chlorine out of the public water source and keeping it safer for skin and hair. It's getting harder to find the larger 1 year Sprite filters and getting two of these smaller, 6 month complete filter/housing was equal in cost to just getting one of the 12 month filters.
