 Terrific filter! Cost effective and easy to install March 9, 2010
I purchased this filter hoping it would live up to expectations and it absolutely did. Setup was a breeze and the water tastes great. I normally drink tap water since bottled water is not regulated that well and can contain bacteria. When I unscrewed the tip of my faucet to attach the filter, I was amazed how much calcium and dirt buildup there was on the regular faucet screen. I attached the Culligan filter and the water looked a lot clearer and tasted much cleaner/fresher.
It's important to remember that right after you install the filter you need to let it run for 10 minutes to clear out any filter debris (which is harmless, but does effect the clarity of the water if you don't flush the filter first).
I highly recommend this filter as it is well worth the minimal cost and will save you a load of money by eliminating the need to buy bottled water.
A faucet filter that works very well March 9, 2010
This thing is perfect. First faucet filter that I buy and I'm glad I trusted the reviews in Amazon, rather than buying other more popular brands.
The filter is easy to mount and makes clean and tasty water.
Now I have the convenience of not having to carry gallons of water from the shop and I also save money - it will make 200 gallons with one filter, so your cost is less than $0.10 for a gallon of clean, fresh water.
The manual says to replace it every 200 gallons or 2 months, but I calculated I use about 30 gallons a month and I'm using the filter for 4 months already without any decrease of water quality or speed.
The only cons that I could think of is that the water flow is a bit slow as other reviews also noted, but that's not a issue for me at all. I would like if it removed fluorides too, but I understand that this is a feature of the more advanced and expensive reverse osmosis systems.
The verdict - if you want convenient, cheap, clean and fresh water, look no further - buy this filter!
it actually works! March 1, 2010
I'm a big water drinker and I have been looking for a tap water filter system for some time. However, due to bad tastes or a faulty product i never found the right one. After purchasing this product I can say that it works. Its easy to install, comes with multiple attachments, an auto shut off for the filter, and even has a noticeably better taste. This is a five star product.

First, the water tastes reallygood. Or I should say it doesn't taste, so I rate the product as excellent. Second, to respond to the other reviews which characterize the auto switch button as not working: WHO CARES? For the price and quality, It is NO hardship to push the button back. Mine never worked. But I'm coming from years of Brita whose non-auto-switch-back lever never ceased to annoy me. Third, this filter's lack of "indicator light" when it's time to change filters: I never trusted those things anyway. I solved that problem by doing the following: I fill a 1-gallon bottle of water each time and write a simple slash marking on a piece of paper which I hang on the fridge. Since this is my first time with this product, I'll only have to do this process once to get an idea of how long it takes me to use 200 gallons. Interestingly enough this solved the other complaint of others that the flow was too slow. I just pour from the gallon jug for whatever needs I have and thus control the "flow rate." I also disagree that the flow rate from the filter is slow. But if your impatience quotient is high, it's easier to put the gallon jug under the faucet and do some other tasks while it is filling, than stand around waiting for a glass to fill. But even then, gimme a break. That's NO hardship. Regarding where to buy the filters, duh, how about Amazon and buy a bunch at at time? For the price, quality and the fact that it doesn't come flying off the faucet, this is a 5-star
culligan faucet filter February 24, 2010
We live on Lake Ontario and our water tastes like it comes right from the bottom. This filter has saved us the bother of buying gallons of water and carting it home every few days. The water tastes like bottled spring water and it is easy to install also. Highly recommend.
