Tools and Hardware Reviews of Culligan FM-15A Level 3 Faucet Filter
Customer Review: Best Faucet Filter Out There!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm very pleased with this one! There are more well known consumer brands making faucet filters that are just junk, and they crack or break after a short period of time. The Culligan is really well built, and a key factor to note here is that the coupling to the faucet is all metal -- as opposed to the plastic coupling that the other brands use. There is some really good thought that went into the design of this filter.
As for replacing the cartridge, I'd recommend just taking the whole filter off the faucet before swapping the cartridge. Even though the coupling is solid stainless steel as I mentioned earlier, but there is no need really to put a lot of strain on it or your whole faucet and risk damagin something -- if not in the coupling itself, in your more expensive faucet. Keep in mind that the cartridge gets stickier over time due to accumulated impurities. You'd need a good grip to unscrew the cartridge, so it is better to do this while the whole filter is off the faucet.
Customer Review: Best Faucet Mount
Summary: 4 Stars
Very good product for this type of filtration. Have used it for 3 months and much better quality than the Brita and PUR which have plastic threads and wind up stripping after extended use. Metal fitting makes Culligan superior to aforementioned brands. Would be 5 stars if the valve stem, which is pulled out to activate filter, disengaged when water is shut off. (It did at first but started sticking after a month.) A little inconvenient but not a show stopper. Also, Culligan does not have an indicator light that notifies you when filter needs to be replaced. However, this feature on the other brands was not very reliable and stopped working after several months of use.Customer Review: Best Faucet Mounted Filter Under $20!
Summary: 4 Stars
Purchased this item to replace the PUR Faucet Filter. This Culligan filter surpasses the PUR model in design, filter life and ultimately water taste. Fits easy and securely to faucet No Leaks! Auto shutoff is very useful, good flow for a filter, Very satisfied with purchase, Only complaint is replacement filter costs nearly as much as entire unit. If price of replacement filter was more in the $5-8 range it would be perfect. And as usual Amazon rocks with lightning Shipping. You will not be disappointed with this unit.Customer Review: Best Filter Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best filter you will ever will get. I had a Brita faucet filter and it kept coming off the faucet. Got this one because it is made of steel and plastic. This water tastes very good and clean. Better than bottled water. A must have filter for anyone who wants filtered water.Customer Review: Best deal for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
Very good deal for the price. It was very easy to install and very easy to use. It has a little knob you pull out to go from tap water to filtered. And after you turn off the faucet, the knob goes back in, so you never forget to turn it back to tap. It's a bit large, gets in the way at times. But they all do, and this one, I think, is smaller or average compared to others. Only color option is white, but doesn't look bad as all my appliances are white. I've been using it for almost a month and am very happy with it. I was nervous at first as the water color was cloudy, but after reading the instructions, you need to run water through the filter for at least 10min, then water was clear. Water tastes good too.
