Jolie Filtered High-Pressure Showerhead for Smoother Hair & Skin, Modern Chrome

Ordered through Amazon and as a skeptical consumer was counting on the 60 day trial. The other 1 star reviewers are correct in that you only get 30 days if purchased through Amazon, despite the advertisement & photo of 60 day return policy. Red flag #1.Opened the box and checked filter, per instructions. There was a sand like substance around the filter and within the fixture. I wiped clean and tapped most of it out before installing. Red flag #2.Installation was as easy as described, but noticed immediately that water does not come out of all the holes in the shower head (see video) and it is not intentional as they water does not come out uniformly. Possibly more of this sandy substance is within the hardware? Red flag #3.Prior to installation, I tested the water for PH and with a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) tester that came with my Zero Water pitcher. Based on test results, the water is more acidic and there are more TDS’s in the water after the installation. Red flag #4.I am thankful that reviewers called out the falsely advertised return policy and will be returning this immediately. Good advertising works in favor of the Jolie brand, but the power of an informed consumer willing to share objective feedback is of more value. I would not recommend this product.

Actually, it probably took me less than TEN minutes to install because I took pictures to document the installation.The first picture was taken at 1610 (4:10 PM for your landlubbers) and the test picture was taken at 1629, just 19 minutes later.Also had to get a larger crescent wrench from my garage shop to loosen the old nozzle. While I didn't take a picture of the messy plumber's tape I had to remove, note that picture #4 shows it nicely clean for the new tape provided in the box.Removing the old nozzle is worth taking time to avoid putting undue stress on the supply stub. Using a larger wrench than the cute one provided allowed me to more carefully apply torque for removal."Leftie Loosie, Rightie Tightie." The shorter handle on the provided "Mighty (mouse?) wrench" will help avoid applying too much torque to seat the Julie showerhead.Florida's water has never been "tasty" right out of the tap since I first tasted it in the early 1950's. Based on the red stains our white shower curtain sustains that we wash every 3-4 weeks with Clorox in the washing machine, I suspect the water we get here in SWFL is worse today than it was in the 1950's.We pour our drinking water from plastic bottles into a micro-plastics filtering jug before drinking. Coffee water comes out of the tap but gets filtered by a $500 reverse osmosis table top device. Safe water's not cheap.Thus, what seems like relatively expensive filter is going to be easy for me to subjectively compare. Will it eliminate stains on the white shower curtain? Will sediments and chemicals clog the replaceable filter faster than the recommended replacement at 6 month intervals? We'll see.The replacement filters look fairly priced and the entire expense will be well worth it to KNOW it's doing something to reduce "red sludge" and chemicals from shower water.

The filtered water definitely has made a difference in my hair and skin! This was especially nice for us since we do not currently have a water softener. It was easy to install, and is truly a quality product.

——- UPDATE 1/19/26 ———Finally managed to get ahold of Jolie via their online chat option on their website. Explained my situation and they shipped me a new head. Will upgrade my rating from 2 to 3 stars for now. Would have appreciated an answer to my emails. Let’s see how long this replacement head lasts.The head produced a nice, flitered flow--until it stopped working. Shower head started leaking at the seem where the head joins the filter. Three emails over three weeks to Jolie with pictures and video of the problem have gone unanswered. No phone number and only an email address for support. They don't have a Facebook page either. Hopefully someone from Jolie is monitoring this Amazon page for feedback.

I really wanted to love this product because it's so pretty compared to other filters on the market. Also, the showerhead is legitimately easy to install and provides good water pressure. It does remove the chlorine smell from the water (no it won't make your water soft--that's what a water softener does). If you don't know the difference between a filter and a softener, do some research before you buy anything!I had to take two stars off my review because it's expensive, and its not any different than other shower head filters on the market. Not to mention many other filters on the market only need to be replaced every 6 to 12 months depending on your usage. The Jolie recommends that you replace the filter every 90 days. In the long run that's more money and more maintenance for a slightly improved aesthetic.Also, I did not realize the 60 day guarantee does NOT apply to Amazon purchases, so I can't return it which is a bummer. If you buy it on Amazon you will only have 30 days to return it, so if you're planning on trying this showerhead I would purchase it off of the company's website.
