Customer Review: STILL Love It!
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, now that I've had this for a year, I just wanted to update my review. I still haven't had ANY leaks and I still love this filter. I will never buy another Pur or Brita filter again, OR spend $20-$22 on a refill cartridge. At $11.99 each the refills for this unit have saved me a lot of money already, and I actually like this unit 10x better. Thanks Culligan/Amazon!Customer Review: TDS Measured (Not Good)
Summary: 2 Stars
I won't bother telling you how the water tastes, or any of that subjective stuff. I have a TDS meter (total dissolved solids) and here are my measurements (averages):
Regular tap before installation of Culligan:
265 PPM
Tap with Culligan filter ON:
265 PPM
Tap with Culligan filter BYPASSED:
250 PPM
Conclusion:
The filter does nothing in terms of reducing particulate matter. In fact, the Culligan's own aerator (used when the filter is bypassed) is better at that. It's basically the wire mesh thing.
My tap is roughly 8 times dirtier than store-bought spring water (35 PPM on average that I've measured). The filter did not help me there.
The only reason I am keeping the Culligan is it will HOPEFULLY KILL whatever those particles ARE. I would rather drink 265 PPM of dead, inert material than 265 potential sources of disease.
I am very disappointed. I'm not equipped to prove how much disease is being prevented. Fortunately, the product is relatively cheap, so it deserves at least two stars. I doubt any of the other filter products fare much better as I have tried Brita and PUR in the past (don't remember my measurements, but they were terrible as well as being expensive).
Customer Review: Better than nothing
Summary: 4 Stars
Bottled water still tastes better, but the filter makes water straight from the tap drinkable. Running straight from the tap, we could smell the cholorine in the water. With the filter, it's hard to notice it so I believe it is definitely working. I still haven't gotten used to the taste yet, but filling the water in a pitcher and adding a piece of binchon charcoal or a lemon wedge is sufficient.
