Tools and Hardware Reviews of Culligan FM-15A Level 3 Faucet Filter
Customer Review: The BEST Faucet Filter
Summary: 5 Stars
I want to start out by saying after reading all the reviews (negative and positive), I'm not at all surprised by how amazing this Culligan faucet filter is.
During a typical day, I drink well more than the recommended 64 ounces of water. I live in Arizona and, while they say our tap water is "safe" to drink, I'm not entirely sure. Even if it is technically "safe", I can't say I'd want to drink it. The straight tap water out of my faucet is usually cloudy, there's stuff that can be seen floating in it and the strong aroma of chlorine is nauseating. Even when brewing very strong coffee with straight tap water, it had an under taste of chlorine. That being said, I've been buying 20+ bottles of water from Walmart every week or so for many years.
Recently, I saw a commercial for a PUR faucet filter and decided I should really consider getting one. I checked them out at the store and they start at $40. Not bad if it meant I'd do away with buying (and, conversely, having to carry) several gallons of water regularly. Before making a purchase, I decided to read some reviews online to make sure I got the best brand and model. I figured I'd be buying either a PUR or Brita (name brands). After checking the reviews at Amazon, I was shocked to see how badly they were reviewed. Then I came across this Culligan filter. It had 300+ reviews with an average 4 out of 5 star rating (while PUR and Brita were the exactly opposite).
Upon further research, I found that the Culligan filters tap water identically, if not better, as the 'name brands', but the big difference is that a.) the filter is good for 200 gallons, b.) it's built to last and c.) it's less expensive! That's correct... the sturdier, higher quality filter is the least expensive. Awesome.
I purchased it figuring that if it didn't live up to my now huge expectations, it's not as if it broke the bank. After it arrived, installation took probably 20 seconds (no kidding... I unscrewed the aerator from my faucet and then screwed on the filter.... done). I let the filter rinse for the recommended 10 minutes and then poured a glass of water. I was hesitant since I've been living off bottled water for so long and have such a bad view of tap water. Before drinking any, I first noticed that the water had absolutely no smell! Not only that, but it was crystal clear. Now the biggest test.... how did it taste. Like nothing! That's right, water should not have a taste and through this filter, it does not! If I poured two glasses of water, 1 from the Culligan filter and 1 from my store bought water bottle, put on a blindfold and tasted each, I would not be able to tell you which was which.
For those few who claim the filter does nothing, you've either done something horribly wrong or you had incredibly good water prior to installing the filter. Another "complaint" I've read is that the water flow from the filter itself is very weak. Well what did you expect? Any water filter (faucet, under the sink or from the fridge door) that I've ever used comes out at exactly the same rate, perhaps even slower. Anyone giving the filter a bad rating because of that should seriously reconsider. The flow from the filter is no worse than any other filter on the market. Period.
In conclusion, if you're leery of your tap water and don't want to deal with (or pay for) bottled water, pick up the Culligan FM-15A Level 3 Faucet Filter, you won't be disappointed.
