Tools and Hardware Reviews of Culligan FM-15RA Level 3 Faucet Filter Replacement Cartridge
Customer Review: Slow flow is the worst I have to say about this filter. Overall fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars
This filter replacement is just fantastic. Here is how I break it down:
Cost (+)
Other filters are very expensive to replace. Brita and Pur use the Gillette model of sales. Cheap to purchase the whole unit but almost as expensive for the filters. Culligan replacement filters are really inexpensive and last longer.
Taste (+)
The taste is very good and almost has no taste at all, which I like.
Flow (-)
Admittedly the flow from this filter is not the highest. Maybe its just cleaning the water better?
I have no scientific data to compare the different filters, I am basing my 5 stars on cost, taste, ease of installation, leaking and overall happiness. For these criteria this filter is a winner.
Thanks for reading my review.
Customer Review: Works for us
Summary: 5 Stars
This filter is easy to install, with metal parts. Had this for about 6 months and the auto shut-off still works fine. We use it every day for about a gallon of drinking and cooking water, and I just put in a refill filter when the flow of the first one got pretty slow. The water from the first filter was still clear and fresh. The refill does leak a little around the filter cartridge, a drop out the back every 5 seconds when you use it, and removing the cartridge required some pliers to break it free. It appears to filter fine, although I have no clue how scientifically pure the filtered water is compared to straight tap. The water doesn't have any smell, and the pitcher we use to hold the water until use, is still clean after 6 months holding the filtered water.Customer Review: My Autoship Faucet filter
Summary: 5 Stars
I have no experience with the Pur system, but I did switch to this Culligan faucet filter from Brita. I had switched after my 3rd Brita mount had broken. My Culligan filter does a nice job, the water taste is definitely improved. I do want to remind people that you will not get the higher level of filtering you do with the slower pitcher filters...but this is very convenient. My pets and plants also get the benefits of fewer toxins in their water. They have not mentioned if they prefer the taste.
Replacing the filter just takes a couple of simple twists. I do miss the indicator light on my Brita, but I have put my Culligan filters on auto ship to make it easy to remember when I need to pop the new one in.
Customer Review: Works for me!
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted a simple but effective economical water filter for my apartment. I did considerable research (including purchasers of various products at Amazon) and at Consumers Reports as well as various internet sites. What appeared to be the best solution for me was a filter that attached to the tap. Simple to attach and effective water filtration. I've been using the Culligan FM-15RA level 3 filter for over a year now and besides being economical it is easy to install and to replace filters (every few months). Since purchasing, we had our water professionally checked for chlorine, bacteria and contaminents (metals etc) and it came through with fjying colors. We are very pleased with the unit.Customer Review: Good filter
Summary: 5 Stars
Despite the reviews mentioning problems with the PUR faucet filter, I purchased a PUR faucet filter from a local in-store retailer. I returned it because it wouldn't thread onto my standard thread faucet... Next purchase was this Culligan filter. I can't comment on taste comparison as the PUR was defective out of the box, but the Culligan is superior construction, a quality product. As other reviewers states, the flow is decreased when using the filter. I'm quite happy with this purchase. Good quality product at great price with fast, free shipping when including an extra filter with the order. Great prices for the replacement filters also.
