I'm surprised the filter turned brown on the top the first use and for every use it keeps turning browner from the top. The water doesn't enter from the bottom of the cylindrical filter but rather the sides which I'm guess is how it's turning brown.

I was a bit disappointed with the pressure, my old showerhead is more stronger. It feels very gentle to me. I don't feel any numbing pressure but it does shoot out like the picture in the product details. The showerhead and the filter also has beads inside.
