Off-topic, but: A filtered shower head? Now, granted, I don't even bother to filter the tap water that I drink, but it feels like this isn't a case of people feeling the economic pinch, because a filtered shower head is so far beyond anything like a necessity. It's just people with plenty of money being cheap.

In general, it might be a solution for hard water where someone couldn't install a whole-house system. Looking at the website, however, it looks like it's to ... well, reduce chlorine with an un-sourced '98% contain too much chlorine' statistic. Is that just bunk? Iunno, but I certainly can't be bothered to search.
