3 Stars Installation Caution!
Caution !! When hooking this up, be very careful how much you tighten the inlet side. It cracks easily. My husband use a 6″ pair of pliers to tighten it up, and it cracked it. Now I have to buy another one, because I had already bought extra filters.

5 Stars Awesome filter
I was lucky enough to already have one of these installed in the house I bought in 2004. Just the thing for a well water system. The drinking water gets further refined by a reverse osmosis filter, but no sediment in any of the water in the house.

5 Stars Good and Inexpensive water filtering
I bought this 6 years ago. It’s a standard design that has been used for maybe 40 years in labs to filter tap water for purity reasons. The new shut off valve in the top is a good idea. I use it under the sink instead of whole-house. The $5 carbon filter has to be changed about once every 6 months before the bad taste of tap water starts to come through again. If you haven’t installed a faucet before, think twice before installing this under the sink. Even with experience it took me all day finding parts, going back to the store to get a flaring tool, cutting pipe, and fixing leaks. Open end wrenches for each nut was much better than my best adjustable wrench which was too thick to get in place.

The water goes in at the top from the side and down the walls of the heavy duty clear plastic (marked PPT on mine). Water pressure forces it through the filter which fits in the middle. The water returns back up in the middle to exit on the opposite side of the cap where it came in. The design allows for a large surface area (which does not reduce water pressure) and about 1 inch of filtration thickness. It’s a heavy duty plastic.

I don’t have it whole-house because because I want the chlorine to remain in the pipes as long as possible, so it’s under the kitchen sink. Reducing the 3/4 fitting down to 1/2″ under the sink was a pain with my copper tubing. It required carefully selected parts including 3/4 to 1/2 reducer (male on both ends), two 1/2″ nuts, 4 sleeves, extra pipe, and a miniature pipe cutter. I could only find the “flared” reducer (a pointy end on the 1/2″ side) so i didn’t need the sleeves, but I had to go get a flaring tool. For whole house use, installation is probably easier, but the $5 carbon filters don’t last as long.

5 Stars Water filter for R V
Works great! Can’t go wrong with Culligan!

Thanks

3 Stars No Mounting Bracket
Great filter but comes without a mounting bracket. Nearly impossible to mount this filter without a backet. Either buy a mounting bracket for this filter or buy a different brand filter.
