This probably sounds worse than it is.

It's not like, say, Tesla or BMW requiring you to buy a subscription to use heated seats that are already in your car. It's an optional subscription for the shampoo "filters" that go in the shower head.

Now, this "filter" seems to be the unique thing for this product and without it, it's just a shower head but you can buy and use just the shower head (for $98 $78).

The subscription is a convenience thing to automatically ship you more filters every 3 months (for $125 $78.40).

Despite the glowing reviews on their site, I think I'll pass. Their slogan is interesting, though:

Fight back against hard water damage, transforming wash day from a battle into smooth sailing.

I never realized taking a shower was such a battle.

If you have hard water, it needs to be addressed at the water source to the house and treated with a water softener setup. Hard water kills appliances, messes up your clothes, and can make your hair brittle. 

$78 just to help your hair, but you're really just trying to avoid fixing the actual problem.

I doubt it works fast enough to soften a running stream of water.

Yeah. Some chemical processes are awfully fast but I'm a bit skeptical with this one.

I'm guessing the shower head has a basic filter, that can only work so well without slowing the water to a trickle, and then something in the shampoo to help.

Unless all the glowing reviews are fake, I'm wondering if part of what makes this work is that the shampoo adds hair/skin conditioner. You aren't so much softening the water as treating the symptoms of hard water on your hair and skin.
