Tools and Hardware Reviews of Culligan US-EZ-1 EZ-Change Undersink Drinking Water Filtration System, 3,000 Gallon
Customer Review: Culligan Undersink Drinking System
Summary: 5 Stars
I finally tired of lugging Spring Water home from the Market, and having to deal with recycling the bottles. The Culligan Undersink Drinking Water System has solved that problem. Was an easy install, and the water is great! I see that the filters give a long life and are easy to change.
Thanks Culligan.
Customer Review: Difficult to adapt to 3/8 faucet connection, but in the end filters great!
Summary: 4 Stars
I may jump this up to four stars if it ever gets installed. The kit comes with a 1/2" threaded adapter; however my fairly new faucet comes with pre-attached hoses which are much smaller. So no where under the sink is there a 1/2" pipe to connect to. So off to the H big box store - a waste of time. Then over to the L big box store - one part which might work but the tube fitting for the "flexible" tube won't fit. So I'm still trying to adapt this to the newer model faucet connections. Frustrating!! Culligan gives an alternate installation using barb fittings, hoses, and clamps. Sorry but I don't do that for any type of perm. plumbing installation.
Time will tell if this even works....
Update!
Thanks to Ace Hardware part #4292330 (3/8 to 1/2in. faucet adapter) I was able to attach the Culligan tap to the existing 3/8" faucet connector. Combined with #41251 to adapt the faucet flex cable to the top of the tap the system is now functional - and no leaks! Time will tell about the spout as others have said it broke upon mounting.
As for quality - the water is noticeably free of odor and taste that existed without the filter. It does seem better than the Pur filer we had previously on the faucet - and much cheaper since the filters last so much longer. My only headache and reason for lower rating - the stupid tap was a pain to adapt to a standard 3/8" faucet connection.
Customer Review: Easy install easy to use
Summary: 5 Stars
Over all and price included everything is great.
After placing the order is was just a matter of waiting for the item to be delivered.
Once it arrived I checked the inventory which was all there. This filtration system is the 2nd under the sink system that I have installed. The other company gave us years of great water, however the filter became impossible to find and the filter housing was leaking when in use which caused us to use a drip pan. Our old system cost 3 times more than the new " culligan system " and I installed it back in 1996.
This Culligan system was a breeze to install. It has far less tubing required than the old system. Now there is more room under the sink which tickles the wife somehow.
When the install was complete I was not all stressed out or anything. Just tickled that it went smooth. I should have went Culligan to start with. I can see that there is parts to order for my new system should I need them and a variety of filters to choose from. The old system did not. I should mention that the old system was from the "Pur" folks. Never again!!

Customer Review: Easy installation and great filter!
Summary: 5 Stars
Although the item was purchased as used due to an open package, all the necessary parts were included. The installation instructions were clear and concise. Once installed the filter worked very well, eliminating the clorine treated taste from the water. No more bottled water! I just refill my water bottles, take one in the car, and leave a couple cooling in the fridge. Great value!Customer Review: Excellent product for the money!
Summary: 5 Stars
Tried several other filters, bigger and more expensive. They work well but upon getting a new sub zero refrig, I was surprised to see there was no filter for the ice maker and water dispenser. The plumber hooked it up to the city water. Well the ice was bad tasting and the copper line he used developed pin hole leaks (corrosion from elements in the water) I went on the hunt for a water filter. I got this one, it uses plastic lines and replaceable cartridges. Right away the water was better tasting and the ice was excellent as well. They make 4 different levels of filtering depending on what your problem is. I have been using level one, and it is great and the cartridge will last for 3000 gallons. If there is a downside to me it would be the flow rate. This is intended for a refrig/ice makers, don't expect to put out a fire with this. But for coffee and drinking water...this is a great product.
