Culligan FM-15A Faucet Filter

I thought I'd try this filter based on what others had said in these reviews. I was completely surprised and thrilled to find that this product met my expectations. I too have tried Brita and Pur with similar results to what others had mentioned here. The Culligan filter works as promised producing great tasting water at a price that fits my budget! No complaints!

Like some other reviewers, I have tried both brands of faucet filters commonly available in the box stores. They both inevitable break or leak and are expensive to maintain. This filter is much sturdier. The faucet fitting is metal, which makes a big difference in longevity. I also really like the auto shut off feature. The water stream is smooth and gentle, unlike other filters I have tried which spray and sometimes splash out of the sink. The replacement filters are half as expensive and last twice as long! The only thing I miss about the other brands is this filter has no indicator light telling you when to replace the filter.

I was already using the Culligan shower filter and I am just as pleased with this filter. I feel safer about using my tap water now.
Very easy installation and also easy filter removal for replacement.

I love this filter. So easy to esemble, no tools required took under one minute to complete.

I bought this about a month ago because my apartment has lead pipes and this is one of the best values in filters certified to remove lead. The filter is activated by pulling a small metal knob. When you turn off the water, the filter is supposed to automatically deactivate itself. This feature broke within 2 weeks of use. It's annoying and more importantly increases the potential for damage to the filter when you forget that it's still switched on and run hot water through it (water over ~105 F will permanently damage the filter cartridge).
