There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Here are the facts about this water filter:
1) Consumer Reports highly rates this filter, "EXCELLENT (highest rating)" for LEAD REMOVAL, CHLOROFORM REMOVAL, & CLOGGING. Rated FAIR for FLOW RATE. The flow rate isn't fast, but it is decent, and steady. I personally fill up several gallon jugs of filtered water & put them in a mini-frig for convenience.
2) DO NOT RUN HOT WATER through the filter EVER, ONLY COLD WATER, or you will significantly reduce its life-cycle. I live in Pittsburgh where the water is over the federal lead limit & the water tastes bad unfiltered. This filter does an excellent job if you use the filter appropriately & the water tastes amazing. Some people say it doesn't last more than a month. Filtering HOT WATER is possibly why so many people complain about it not lasting as long, or their water quality is so bad that the filter is working overtime.
3) As previously stated, the FM-15A replacement filter is the SAME w/ a different color = BUY IT TO SAVE MONEY (b/c you can't see it anyway unless you put your head under the faucet)
4) Depending on whether your faucet has threads on the INSIDE or OUTSIDE of the nozzle, you MAY OR MAY NOT need to buy a cheap $3 METAL adapter at the hardware store. BUY THE METAL ADAPTER! DO NOT TRY TO MESS WITH THE INCLUDED PLASTIC ONE, the weak properties of plastic means it will fail either immediately from over-tightening or within the 1st month. TRUST ME, SAVE YOURSELF THE FRUSTRATION OF GETTING SPRAYED IN THE FACE OFTEN, & SAVE TIME. Note: Faucets use a STANDARD size, so just ask an employee about the correct & cheapest metal adapter that accommodates BOTH inner/outer threading. The only exception where this filter would NOT WORK is if you have a "DROP DOWN FAUCET" as noted in the description.
5) The filter housing is PLASTIC, so when you screw the filter in to the housing, it should be tight, but there's no need to try to torque it to make it super tight or anything, the filters deep threading seal it up very well.
6) What to expect for the 1st use after installing the Culligan filter: 1) The water will spray WILD for a little while 2) You need to run COLD water through the filter for about 3 minutes to properly prime it & then it will normalize 3) If you followed the advice from all of the above, I believe that you are going to really love this water filter too! Enjoy!
I first used Brita's disposable faucet filters and liked those pretty well, and then when that was discontinued, I went to Brita's other faucet filters (On-Tap, 42633, FF something or other). While the water with Brita was good, the device was poorly made, and I was changing filters quite often. Everything was plastic, even the attachment to the faucet was plastic. And while it had an indicator light to let me know when I "needed" to change the filter, that burned out/stopped working after about six months, leaving me to rely on what is commonly referred to as "taste buds", which to the dismay of the doltish, does not come with an indicator light. (Who needs an indicator light to tell them there's a difference in the way their water tastes?)
It bears repeating that both Brita and this Culligan filter receive high praise (top marks) from Consumer's Reports for filtering quality. But here's the selling point: Culligan is significantly cheaper and better made. Culligan's filters are each good for 200 gallons, Brita's filters are good for 100 gallons. Price one Culligan filter compared to two of the Brita and you'll see how much cheaper Culligan is. Plus, Culligan's faucet attachment is metal (stainless steel?), instead of cheap Brita plastic. (I've used mine on two different faucets, one with internal threads and one with external, the product comes with the attachments necessary to make it fit any faucet). And, to reiterate, Culligan's water tastes just as good (if not better) and filters just as effectively (if not more so) than Brita. PLUS, you can sign up for a subscription on these filters and get an additional 15% off, have them shipped to your door exactly when you need a new one and be done with it. If ever there were one, this is truly a no-brainer. Culligan is the hands-down winner. Pur need not even apply, Brita: go back to the drawing board. I love my water and Culligan is for real.
However in order to get those benefits there are some cost, first if you live somewhere with below ideal water quality, they will wear out fast, really fast and you won't get those claimed 200 Gallons before the water flow drops drastically to a few drops flow.
Also it's not the easiest filter to change, sure in theory is just unscrewing and removing the old and screw the new one, but the position and the format makes it not the easiest to get a grip to be able to do that, and the shell that covers the filter feels flimsy and there is a constant feeling that will snap if you apply a bit more force to open it.
All in all it worth the investment for the quality of the water you get, however depending on how much water your household consumes and the quality of water where you live or even the age of the pipes on your house, that can become a bit expensive considering the replacement cost is not that low and when the filter lifespan is done it becomes useless until you replace it.

I've been using this for a couple of months now and I'm very happy with it. I think the Culligan faucet filters are a better quality build than the Brita faucet filters I've had in the past. Also I think the Culligan water tastes a little better.
If you're trying to decide between a faucet filter and a pitcher filter, the faucet filters take more out of the water. Some faucet filters, including this one, meet NSF/ANSI standards 42 and 53. Pitcher filters generally only meet NSF/ANSI 42.
Quoting from the NSF dot ORG website:
"NSF/ANSI 42 establishes the minimum requirements for the certification of POU/POE filtration systems designed to reduce specific aesthetic or non-health-related contaminants (chlorine, taste, odor and particulates) that may be present in public or private drinking water.
The scope of NSF/ANSI 42 includes material safety, structural integrity and aesthetic, non-health-related contaminant reduction performance claims. The most common technology addressed by this standard is carbon filtration."
"NSF/ANSI 53 establishes the minimum requirements for the certification of POU/POE filtration systems designed to reduce specific health-related contaminants, such as Cryptosporidium, Giardia, lead, volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) and MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether), that may be present in public or private drinking water.
The scope of NSF/ANSI 53 includes material safety, structural integrity and health-related contaminant reduction performance claims. The most common technology addressed by this standard is carbon filtration."
The NSF dot ORG website has the full details of the standard.
