5 Stars Great Filter
After looking around and comparing all types of faucet filters, I decided on this based on many of the other reviews. I liked that it had a standard replaceable filter and good solid construction. I wasn’t let down by this product. The only problem is it came with a 55/64″-27 female threading to attach to the sink, and I had to get an adapter to fit my sink. But once I determined which size I needed and set it up, it worked great. No leaks, and clear great tasting water comes through. The filter lasts much longer than other systems, so I won’t need to replace it as often. The included instructions weren’t entirely clear – it comes with a plastic handle thing, and I realized after setting it up that it is used for unscrewing/tightening the filter holder part… but it can be hand-tightened without leaking. In all, a much better deal than faucet-mount filters and other counter top filters!

5 Stars Perfect solution for our household
We’ve had this filter system for a couple weeks now and we love it! It was easy to install, works wonderfully, and the water is fantastic. We were using a filtering pitcher before and not only was it a pain because we use filtered water for anything involving food or drink (refill, refill, refill…), the pitcher water would start tasting “off” after an hour or less in my glass. With the new system, I can drink water that has been sitting beside the bed all night. I love how long the filter will last and how inexpensive it will be to replace it once a year. I’ve already heartily recommended this system to two friends and would gladly suggest it to anyone else.

5 Stars Great Filter
I received this filter a little over a week ago and all I can say is wow. I have been using filters for many years now where ever I live. People use to say oh my well water is great. I say no. I can speak from personal experience.

Going back 35 years ago I grew up as a teenager in a home in which we had a well. For many years I was constantly sick to my stomach with abdominal pains and my mother brought me to an internist for a checkup, well to make a long story short, my parents had traced the problem to our water source. A business down the street had been dumping tricholethelene down the drain for years and it leached into 3 homes wells. The DEP came in and had to clean up the mess, and we all got a reverse osmosis water system that at the time cost my folks thousands. But the problem had been identified.

Second story, my husband worked with a fellow who told me that 3 families living in a row, each of the wives developed a particular kind of cancer, traced to the water which had uranium.

I feel in this day and age you just can’t be safe drinking any kind of water. You just don’t know what is down there in the ground that will over time leach into the well and cause severe health problems. People throw things down the drain that should not be put down there, basically contaminating the water and when you drink that you wonder why you are sick.

Do yourself a favor and get a filter. I do like this one in particular by [...], it has an excellent water flow and the cartridge they have in it is the PB1 which seems to do an excellent job at clarifing the water. I like this in particular because it is solid carbon block. Many of the other filters on the market are GAC, which is Granular Activated Carbon. The problem there is that there is channeling and bypass. With sold carbon it is able to absorb many of the impurities and color in the water. Those GAC filters are good for municipal water, not well water. We in particular have tannins in our water. My landlord has a $7000 water filter system in place, however, we still get the brownish water. But NOT with this filter. Nothing but crystal clear water.

I use it for cooking, drinking, coffee, ice cubes, brushing our teeth, etc. You won’t go wrong with this unit. I hope this is helpful to those of you searching for a water filter. Take a step in the right direction by drinking good, clear water.

5 Stars Blew my aquasana away
I bought the aquasauna product which cost like double this or something. It was horrible, it lasted maybe 1 year and can have mold build up underneath the product (it leaks and even if you are very clean it can happen), I don’t doubt that the quality of the water was excellent for aquasauna but the product build was POOR. Mine even broke and aquasauna wasn’t helpful at all in remedying the situation.

So I order this one, I remember it being much less that the 120$ or so i spent on the aquasauna. I had low expectations but wanted my water to be filtered at home.

Then I got this thing, it is built very well. It is strong and sturdy. They also sent all the attachments for you sink (which again, aquasauna didn’t do, I had to go to home depot multiple times to try to find the proper fit). The water comes out super fast and tastes amazing. I am super impressed with this and its quality.

As for the quality of the water, I bet it is the same as the other one. I can’t know for sure but it tastes just as good. Also I believe you can buy replacement filters for this anywhere instead of being overcharged by a company who owns a monopoly on the replacement filters.

This is a great filter set, I wish I would of bought this originally!

5 Stars Great filter, easy to install
Product is simple to install, only takes a couple of minutes. Water comes out clean with no odor and a great taste.

Pros:

-Unit can be used with many 10 inch water filters, not just one particular brand.

-Simple to use.

-No leakage between filter attachment and faucet.

Cons:

-Water comes out of the spout for a couple seconds after faucet is turned off.

-No indicator for filter replacement.

So far, I am happy with my purchase.

5 Stars brita 1 year disposable water filtration system is the best !
This is our second one and it lasted over a year. We save so much money not having to buy bottled water. We use this with our Thermos water bottle for everywhere. We also bought my daughter and her husband one this year and they love it.

3 Stars Works great – can break easily
My parents got this as a gift and have used it for 4 months and loved it… water tastes great, easy installation and use. Plastic fitting has now broken where it screws onto tap and item is unusable.

5 Stars brita disposible water filter
the Brita Disposible Water filter is wonderful. I had been using the regular filters for years. When I saw it in the store, It said good for a year. I started adding up the filter replacements and grabbed it. It actually lasted about 13 months. It saves money, 1 unit per year(40.00) vice four filters per year(20-25 each)and has a filter light that lets you know it needs to be replaced. The whole unit is tossed. I’m having a hard time finding it in stores anymore, so I’m glad I found it on Amazon.

2 Stars Disappointed
I bought three of these filters because I reasoned that it was less wasteful to thrown out one complete filter system a year than to throw out three to five regular filters that the other systems used. I hooked up the first one and it worked okay except that as others have said the flow is greatly decreased and it takes a while to fill a glass. This I could live with thinking I was being less wasteful. Unfortunately, the system gave out after only three months. According to the instructions this system is supposed to handle 300 gallons of water. My wife and I live alone and we certainly did not use the 300 gallons of filtered water in three months. In fact, we probably use less than a half gallon a day. That means the filter should have lasted six hundred days. Not even close.

5 Stars Excellent product
i bought this last year, and it has worked perfectly for a year and 2 months, so longer than a years worth, and I drink Alot of water. I can’t say anything bad about this product 5* from me!!

5 Stars Glad I tried it
After reading some of the reviews compaining about loose-fitting tops, spillage, and charcoal dust, I was a bit apprehensive about placing my order.

I’m very glad I decided to order one. I’ve had this several weeks now and it is the perfect water container/filter for my use. I use it in my office instead of hauling cases of plastic bottles.

I’ve not experienced any of the problems noted.

5 Stars Perfect for the dorm/office; save your money & the environment!
I’ve had the pitcher for about a month now, and no complaints so far. In fact, I consider the purchase well worth it.

I used to drink bottled water, because I don’t find the taste of tap water particularly appealing. Buying a Brita pitcher, however, has several advantages:

1. Saves money. I drink about 2 gallons of water per week at home (roughly speaking, and not counting my liquid intake in other forms & outside the house). If you rely on bottled water all the time, the money begins to add up quickly. The pitcher begins to pay for itself after about a month. The manual recommends that the filter be replaced every 2 months or 40 gallons – which is because, I am assuming, the average family goes through 40 gallons in about 2 months. If you’re a single student like me, a filter will see you through for 4-5 months.

2. Saves time. It’s a real hassle when you run out of bottled water, the nearest grocery store is 3 blocks away and it’s 3 a.m. Yes, you do have to wait a good minute or two for the water to filter down but I’m sure most people have the patience to deal with that. Or you can just have it filled up to be used whenever.

3. Helps save the environment. You ever wonder where all those plastic bottles come from and where they go after you throw ‘em away? Also, bottling water for commercial purposes as the beverage companies do can have detrimental ecological impacts on the source.

As for the black carbon bits that some people claim to find in their water, I haven’t had any problems with this. There are some carbon chips floating loose in mine, but only in the top compartment. There is one minor design slip, that the whole top compartment can slide off the pitcher when I’m trying to open the lid sometimes, but at under $15 I’m willing to overlook such a flaw. Also, the water tastes good.

Highly recommended, especially for college students who need to keep themselves hydrated.

4 Stars Brita Slim pitcher
This product works as advertised. The only problem I have is, pouring, you have to be careful that the plastic filter holder does not disengage from the pitcher.

4 Stars Everything was great
Got the filter exactly when i expected to get it. It was in great shape – for a great price. Service was good. I’d recommend (if asked) everyone to get a filter through this method.

4 Stars Good little pitcher
I got this pitcher the other day, and so far I like it. It holds enough water to fill my coffee maker, and it’s not too big. It fits just fine in my fridge. It also fills up really fast thanks to being so small, which is awesome.

My only gripe is that the top is hard to pull off when you need to fill it up. It causes the whole inside unit to come out. I find that if you dig your fingernails into it rather than trying to lift it with your fingertips helps. It’s only a small gripe.

I recommend this to anyone who lives alone or with just one other person or has a small fridge.

Bonus: Tasty water.

5 Stars works perfectly fine
This filter works just great. I always used Pur faucet filters, but if you have high water pressure, sooner or later, it will break up… This one, instead, has no problems at all and the water tastes exactly the same. Good deal for the price.

The only flaw is a lack of an indicator that tells when it’s time to change it, but they send you a sticker to put on your calendar minimalist, but efficient.

4 Stars Great filter if you follow this little bit of advice…
At first, I did experience what a few of the other reviewers mentioned: after a short while the filter didn’t appear to have any affect on the taste of the water.

The problem, I discovered, is that if you run the water through the filter too quickly (by opening up the tap all the way) the charcoal filter just can’t do its job. As a rule of thumb, only allow enough flow through the filter so that it takes about 10-15 seconds to fill up a glass of water, and you’ll have great tasting water. So, if you have high water pressure, make sure you don’t open of the faucet all the way when filling a glass. There’s just no way a filter as small as this can do its job properly at the max flow rate of most faucets. You really need a large in-line filter for that.

Note that this only applies to the filter’s odor and taste removal properties, because this involves a chemical reaction of sorts where activated charcoal pulls chlorine (and other chemical) out of the water by binding to them. This is a completely different mechanism than what you normally associate with filtering, such as particles being caught in a mesh (which is essentially how the rest of the filter works in these, and so it’s really only the odor and taste that is affected by the rate at which you let water through the Cullgan).

3 Stars FM-15RA inconsistent with FM-15R – please advise!
Hi, perhaps someone can resolve my confusion.

I also decided to add these photos for clarification to the guy who responded to me stating that he didn’t have what to compare the FM-15RA with:

eitch tee tee pee colin TWO slashes powerpics.tripod DOT COM SLASH culligan SLASH culliganfilters DOT hypertextmarkuplanguage

I just purchased some FM-15RA replacement filters. In the past, I used to get the FM-15R models which were made in USA (not China like these newfangled 15RA ones).

Anyway, in the past, I’d found that some of the FM-15R ones would gush (rather than flow), so I phoned Culligan in mid 2008, and after LOTS of hassle, reached a guy who actually knew something.

He asked me to check whether any of the holes are black rather than white. He said that all the holes need to be white NOT black to filter well.

Sure enough, the ones which gushed had some black holes, so he sent replacements which all had pure white at the holes.

Anyway, now I received the ones made in China, which seem like junk, since they’re lighter weight than the USA ones. Note i still have the USA ones, so i could compare.

Also, in the past, the USA ones did not emit what looks like vapor/smoke (probably the charcoal), upon screwing in & trying out for the first time. But the Chinese-made one DOES cause vapor/smoke (charcoal) to emit – which gives me the creeps, because it reminds me of when I erroneously poured Drano down the drain & it emitted similar vapor & hissed toxicly for a long time afterward to the extent that the clog-fixer-guy said it might have caused corrosion of pipes.

But above all:

I’m really baffled now, because these newfangled Chinese made FM-15-RA’s all have greyish-black at the holes, rather than white. Yet the one I just now tried is not gushing (despite the blackish holes). Rather, it’s flowing.

This is inconsistent with what the Culligan guy had told me regarding the FM-15R. Because going according to him, these newfangled ones ought to be gushing since the holes are not pure white, but rather greyish black??!!

So what am I to believe?

2 Stars Replacement cartridge leaks
Looks like I was unlucky. These cartridges leaked when I put them on the faucet mount. The first replacement I was able to manage with some teflon plumbing tape but the second squirted water all around the sink. I plan to buy the whole unit again because it makes my water taste better. This is the only reason I would give it 2 stars. Surprisingly I dont see too many bad reviews or any that say that the replacement leaked. Wonder why.

5 Stars Good filter
Despite the reviews mentioning problems with the PUR faucet filter, I purchased a PUR faucet filter from a local in-store retailer. I returned it because it wouldn’t thread onto my standard thread faucet… Next purchase was this Culligan filter. I can’t comment on taste comparison as the PUR was defective out of the box, but the Culligan is superior construction, a quality product. As other reviewers states, the flow is decreased when using the filter. I’m quite happy with this purchase. Good quality product at great price with fast, free shipping when including an extra filter with the order. Great prices for the replacement filters also.

2 Stars Broke Easily
Used this twice for on backpacking trips on the AT…one week trip and a weekend. Worked very well. Took it on a long day hike and couldn’t get it to work…found out that the intake stem was broken. Never put the filter under too much stress for it to break in such a way. My advice…pay more for a better qaulity pump.

5 Stars Buy it.
I purchased this to replace my Sweetwater filter that failed at the furthest point out on a recent trip. Fortunately, another hiking group had this unit and was willing to fill our water containers. It worked flawlessly and did it in a surprisingly short time. Katadyn has always been a very reputable company, and I am sorry that I did not purchase one of it’s products the first time.

2 Stars Works, more so than the customer service does.
I bought this filter as I section hike the Appalachian trail and had been borrowing a MSR filter from a friend. I bought this filter 2 and 1/2 weeks before my most recent trip and when the filter came in I noticed the prefilter was missing. I contacted the customer service and informed them of this and within 1 hour I had received a response saying they would send it out as soon as possible. Well a few days before the trip I send another message since I hadnt received the piece and they said they sent it already. A week AFTER my trip was over the piece finally came in and based on the post mark it was sent 3 days before it came in. I wouldnt be so mad if it wasnt for the fact that they lied to me about the situation.

At home the filter does work just like any other but given the choice I would have opted for the MSR filter that I know is reliable and as far as I know already comes with all the pieces you need. This is what I get for trying to save a few bucks.

5 Stars Never leave home without it
I received this last March as A birthday present and just used it for the first time, it works great. I first tried it out on some accumulated rain water in our camp tarp; the water was not quite clear, but tasted fine. I drank the filtered water all weekend with no ill effects, so it must work. I would recommend this product to any one who hikes, bikes or any other outdoor activities. It ways almost nothing and is very simple to use. I love it!

3 Stars Fast but somewhat complicated
This filter works very fast, filling a 1L bottle in about a minute. However, getting to that point can be a chore. There are a lot of small parts and hoses and input versus output and caps and attachments…etc… I’ll give Katadyn credit, they certainly give you a lot of parts, various attachemnts for bottles and water bags, even extra parts if you want to cut your water bag hose and add in the easy fill attachment. That’s nice. But this means a lot of small, extra parts that serve to confuse, espcially if you are using it for the first few times. However, once you get it all figured out, it pumps just fine, and fills bags and bottles fast. It takes longer to set up the pump than it does to fill your bottles, but it gives a nice clean taste.

Overall I’d recommend it, but learn how to set it up before you go into the wilderness. Also, take just the pieces you need, because keeping all the extra parts with the unit will either lead to confusion, or lost parts!

3 Stars Good concept, but not really worth it
Bought it. Used it. Loved it….at first. Not really worth it. The cover keeps popping off at the slightest touch and the flavors are just “alright”. We ended up just slicing lemons and limes and adding them to our glasses for a much more pleasant drink.

4 Stars water lover
I purchased this because I got sick of purchasing bottled water. I am very picky about how my water tastes (We have terrible water here) and because that is pretty much all I drink I was a bit nervous about it. I found that the pur filter removes any unwanted flavors from the water, but I have to run it into a pitcher and refrigerate the water to get it as cold as I like. Unfortunately, I don’t have a filter for our ice maker, so if I try to use them they just leak the regular water taste into the glass. But, this is not a problem for me and is worth it because of the ‘green’ aspect. The only thing about this filter that I’ve found is not for me is the water flavor. The flavoring that you can purchase is just too sweet for me so I’m not a fan, but my husband cuts the sweetness down with a slice of lemon and that seems to work for him. Other than not having needed the flavoring aspect of this filter I do love it and am extremely glad we now have it!

5 Stars I just got the water filter
Very nice ! I did not have any problem with leaking. I am very please. easy to install and I like the flavors with 0 calories

2 Stars Well, mine broke finally
I was somewhat lucky as that my purifier was functional for about 2 years. I think I got mine at K-mart for $30

here’s what I liked and disliked:

+The water itself is noticably fresh and good tasting (using the 3 stage filters).

-The flavor thing is dumb, I didn’t like the taste of them and the dispenser is of a chintzy design (it looked impressive on display)

-it takes a while, like 10 seconds to fill a glass, rather than 3 seconds or so.

-The unit is pretty bulky and makes it hard to see the dishes

-If you have a faucet nozle that lets you adjust where the water comes out of slightly (like I did) you will have to remove this and basically store it until your purifier breaks and you can put it back on.

-These things aparently tend to break…

Mine suddenly broke a few days ago. First the LED indicator stopped coming on, so I decided to buy two new filters ($25…). I popped a new one in and ran the sink for a while, and walked away. The light came on, but it didn’t go off like it was supposed to. I fiddled with it for a while to no avail. It sounded like something was loose in the head peice when I removed it to give it a shake. That went on until the battery failed presumably (~15 hours).

Now, most importantly, it seems that my PUR water filter is no longer filtering the water. The water tastes noticably worse, and it comes out of the unit suspiciously fast. I’m really disapointed with losing the $25 for the filters.

4 Stars Great product,BUT!
This is a great filter for the price and the flavoring is a major plus.Now lets get to the BUT! part which is that this is my second one of these (the first one was perfect until a plumbing job ruined it with plumbers putty)and it leaks on the faucet so instead of sending it back I’ll deal with it till I buy another which will be another one of these.

5 Stars Capresso Water Filters
We’ve used the Capresso Coffee Maker for the last twelve or so years and the charcoal water filters do exactly what you’d like them to do: filter the water before making the coffee. We change them on the first of each month and believe that they make a big difference in the taste of our coffee.

4 Stars Good Product
I normally purchase these filters from one of a local kitchen or appliance store; however, they were all out and the stores could not give me an ETA. Therefore, I purchased them on Amazon because I needed them. The price wasn’t any bargain compared to store bought but with Amazon’s free shipping; it did save me some gas money. As for the product itself I have been using it for years and it is made for my coffee maker and I have no complaints. I mean there isn’t a whole lot you can say about these filters unless you notice that they don’t work.

3 Stars Carbon Shortage?
Maybe the global warming folks have it wrong, maybe there isn’t a carbon shortage? Why else would these filters go up $6 in less than 3 years? Just a theory.

5 Stars The right choice
It’s the right choice for your Capresso coffee-maker. Ours is not an espresso machine. This is the right fit and it was so easy to find on Amazon.com!

3 Stars To Filter or not to Filter; that is the question!
This is my 3rd Capresso 454 Coffee maker. I love them! Great coffee, all the time.

The filters that are used (1 comes with it) are about $5 each…3 for $15. What a giant ripoff!!

First, I think charcoal filters are a good idea….but Jeez, $5 per filter?!! These things should sell for $.50 each! A total ripoff!

My suggestion (after buying a 3 pack) is to use filtered water…or tap water. I don’t think you will see a difference.

This filter is specially shaped to go into the little basket, so other filters won’t work. What a great idea…One could spend a fortune on filters alone!

Use plain cold water….tastes the same!

3 Stars Seems to leak after short use
I installed a sediment prefilter and then this type to clean up the taste and smell of the water.

I bought two of this carbon filter model in addition to a bunch of the sediment filters.

The first carbon filter I installed did an awesome job. The water came out crystal clear with no odor. I stopped using the Brita for drinking water even.

That lasted about 3 weeks and the smell returned and the water got rusty again over a period of a couple days.

So I replaced the prefilter and the carbon filter with new ones. And the water was again clear and odorless. But this time it only lasted about 3 days until the odor returned.

I checked the filter and it doesn’t look dirty. The flow is still strong with no noticeable pressure loss. I keep the pressure at 40 PSI.

If they were to continue working like the first one did, I would be happy to pay for these relatively expensive filters. But I think they must be developing channels in the filter and becoming ineffective. There is no other explanation for how the filter can look clean, have no pressure drop, and lose it’s filtration properties so quickly.

I’m going to have to try other brands.

5 Stars Good filter, decent price
We got this to replace the filter in our Watts reverse osmosis (RO) unit. Watts generally seems to provide a good product. We did have a problem with the faucet handle of the RO unit, but they replaced it quickly and all is good. A good company that stands by its products.
