Great Filtration System
Color: Polished Finish
Best Filtration system I have used. I was using Brita but to water still tasted bad but the water here in Tucson is some of the worst tasting. Culligan system is slow but effective, the water tastes great. Worth every penny and the adde be it of reducing plastic.

Ceramic filters are great!

I love this new water purifier! Water tastes delicious! And I'm not drinking water from my plastic one anymore!😇 Goodbye to the micro plastics!

Ceramic filter adds methylene chloride to the water! Stay away from this system!
Color: Polished Finish
I received a used unit with a used filter. It was supposed to new! I'm actually glad because I have sinceearned that the ceramic filters add methylene chloride to the water. This is not a good system compared to many others including much less expensive ones.

So long PFAS!!
Color: Polished Finish
I have been increasingly getting more concerned about all of the toxins in our environment. We now know that most babies are born with microplastics already circulating in their blood. And that PFAS chemicals are everywhere and in almost everything and can cause immune system issues and more. I have battled various health issues that I feel like I shouldn't have. Anyway, I've been trying to clean up my environment...get rid of plastic products, etc. I intend to eventually get a reverse osmosis system for my kitchen sink but it's expensive and requires a contractor, etc. So I was waiting a little longer for that. I was so fortunate to find this on the Vine program! And it's really great! Here's why: -It's made of stainless steel, including the spigot, which is easy to clean and a healthy material. -It holds 2 1/2 gallons, which is great for me because I drink a lot of water. -It's quick and easy to put together. -It filters 99.4% of Chlorine and 99.6% or Chloramine -It filters 96.5% of all class 1 particulates (0.5 to 1 micron in size - examples are very fine clay, silt, rust, organic material, bacteria) -It filters 99.1 % of Lead. -It filters 99.6% of total PFAS chemicals! (This is fantastic and hard to find outside of reverse osmosis or other expensive water filtration systems) -Finally, it filters 96.5% of microplastics. -Water is crystal clear and tastes like water should - tasteless and refreshing! I would prefer closer to 100% for the microplastics. But that's way better than my former situation, which was just a Brita filter which does not remove microplastics at all. Nor PFAS. This comes with two ceramic filters and you can use one or both at once. The water - because it's using pure gravity and being so finely filtered, does take a LONG time to filter through. It's literally one drop at a time. So, a full 2 1/2 gallons can take like 8-12 hours to filter through. Using 2 filters will cut that in half, which I might do next time as I chose to use just one for now. Each filter is rated to filter 50 gallons of water, which I calculated would last me around 3 months. So, 5-6 months for 2 filters. I live alone so this would be less for larger families. Two replacement filters costs $146.00, so most of what you're paying for with this system is the filters. For me living alone, the annual cost to use this daily and year-round would be about $300 or so. Reverse Osmosis systems can cost $100-$300 a year for filter replacement after the initial cost of installing the system, depending on your system size and filter type. So, you can do the math. For me, right now, this is super convenient to have until I can get a permanent system. It can then also serve as a secondary system for my upstairs where I don't plan to have RO in place. The place where you install the filter could easily be used for other gravity type filters as well, as long as they are similar in design. My only critique is that there's no indicator that tells you when the filter is at the end of life. I will have to keep a log or checklist to essentially count the number of gallons I've run through it so I know when to change the filter. Once I figure out how long one lasts, I'll just go by time and not gallons. Still, I'm so happy to have WAY cleaner water than I'm not removing any stars for that. Great product and worth the investment for the health of you and your family. ... show more

Excellent purification, time consuming, takes up space
Color: Polished Finish
There is no doubt that this gravity fed filtration system produces purified water to where it cannot even be tasted. I have used the Brita elite filters prior and they cannot compare in taste to this Culligan. Based on the extensive internationally recognized certifications for achieving the purity claims stated by Culligan, this filtration system far exceeds that of even the best pitcher filtration systems. A reasonable question is that of cost when compared to the more common pitcher filtration systems. As expected, the Culligan is more expensive to maintain than pitcher systems. You can search easily enough online for a detailed analysis of cost for different types of filters. However, I suggest that it may not be a reasonable comparison because the Culligan far exceeds pitcher systems in effectiveness. If you want water as pure as possible with a gravity fed system, the Culligan is a serious option. A pitcher system is an excellent means of cleaning water to a (comparatively) limited extent while saving cost. An important factor is the quality of your water from the tap. In some areas water may not need a more extensive purification. What surprised me about this filtration system is the time it takes to filter. The instructions state to run the filter through three cycles before drinking. That is, fill it up, drain, discard, and repeat. After three days the three cycles were complete. Yes, I said three days. It took about 10 to 12 hours for just over two gallons to filter. Granted, I was not standing by 24 hours watching and just waiting to fill. It was filled when convenient, which meant in the morning and evening. But still, it was taking so long that I contacted the company to see if something was wrong. They had no answers except to scrape the ceramic filter surface to open the pours. A cheap sponge was provided but I used a better one with a good scouring pad. Even after extensive cleaning it did not improve. After a few weeks of use it now takes about five hours or more to filter just over two gallons. I am using only one filter but the tank can take two. If two are used it should decrease the time by half. Based on the time it takes to filter, you need to somewhat plan your water supply. The seller recommends this to be used by a “small family of up to 3 people.” If you have a larger household, you may want to reconsider this type of system. Something to consider is that it does not remove solid particulates, However, from what I have read that does not effect the water quality. It does remove microplastics, which are not the solid particulates that are being addressed. The system is sizable. Although on the thinner side with a diameter of about eight and a quarter inches, with the stand it is 24.5 inches tall. It was difficult to place it in our kitchen and we had to use an additional piece of furniture. There is no means of knowing how much filtered water is in the tank other than lifting the upper tank and looking. It would have been nice if it included a small window or some means of identifying the level. Lifting the tank is not too much trouble. You need to make sure that there is enough capacity in the bottom tank before filling the top or you can cause a bit of a flood. I am rating this with four stars. If based on the water quality alone it would be a five star item. However, because of the extensive filtration time and having to have to deal with a rather large item, it is not a perfect system. It is of excellent quality and set up was fairly simple. Then there is the cost. Currently two filters are 150 dollars, which should last a year. There is information that suggest that they can be cleaned to extend the life but I have not extensively looked into that option. I have noticed other gravity filtration brands that have cheaper filters but did not compare for quality. This one seems to have about the best level of filtration in its class, but other brands and types are available. ... show more

Great tasting and healthy water for your family.
Color: Polished Finish
Great tasting water a level above the filtered counter top pitcher brand we have used forever. I have known the Culligan name and brand for over fifty years dating back to my original family home using a Culligan water softener. “Hey Culligan Man”. Can’t get that commercial jingle out of my mind. Fast forward to the present and new concerns about the quality and purity of the water we drink at home on elsewhere. We have been using the “B” brand filtered water with the counter pitcher for several years for no other reason than it was fairly affordable at our local big box retailer. The pitchers broke every couple of years and we used so much water, and therefore needed a second pitcher and a steady refill supply. Now we have to concern ourselves with microplastics and other contaminants and it seems the old solutions no longer worked. Several months ago I looked the Zero product as a replacement and also looked at the under counter filter system. I realized it wasn’t necessarily about the delivery vehicle but moreso about the quality of the filter and then the availability and convenience for users. This MaxClear Gravity system gave me another reason to research our options. So Culligan acquired Zero and is now bring best in class water filtering to the home and other environments. A counter pitcher swap is definitely a next step because I am sold on the MaxClear quality. The Gravity system and stainless steel vessels are a good solution where it works functionally. We were not able to find the right way or place to accommodate the size of the product in our kitchen so we set it up in a family room where we watch TV etc. everyone appreciates it giving quick and easy access to a healthy glass of water. We may move it around a bit yet to see where it works best. Culligan seem like they are investing in developing other form factor delivery systems so we will look for other ways to enjoy the excellence of their filter technology. Fridge filters will also be next after the counter pitcher. Do your own research. Culligan is a market leader and we will be happy to place our trust in their products for our health and safety. Highly recommended. ... show more

Quality design/Highly functional
Color: Polished Finish
We love this Culligan Water Cooler. The design is stylish and the taste of the water is noticeably better than our tap water and the water filtered from our refrigerator. What's surprised us is how the convenience and visibility of the water cooler has increased the amount of fresh water we're drinking. Our consumption of sparkling water has decreased in half. The size of the water cooler takes little room on our counter and again, is a reminder to drink water regularly. The quality of construction is excellent. We've had zero leaks. The polished metal design meshes well with our kitchen appliances. Clean up is simple and fingerprints and smudges are easily removed. The spigot makes it simple to pour drinks, even for smaller children. The stand gets the spigot to a perfect height above the counter and the rubber mat eliminates any wobble on the stand. Assembly is simple with detailed instructions and a provided wrench. It took about ten minutes to assemble and fill. We went with one filter and used a provided plug to fill the other drainage hole. So as stated, the filtration process takes some time because the filter is very dense. So plan on a day or so to run the first three batches that you discard. The best products combine style and functionality. This water cooler is a home run on both counts. Visitors have already commented on the excellent taste and design. We feel lucky to have such a nice container providing us with the clean water we need every day. Thank you to the folks that designed this water cooler. ... show more

Good quality container that looks great on my countertop. Easy to assemble and replace filters. I love the taste of the water too. But the replacement filters are expensive and don't last long. For me this was not a good value.
