Pain to install, but well worth it!
Size: 1 Inch
Review Image by Vincent Price - NOT
Review Image by Vincent Price - NOT
I purchased and installed this filter specifically for my fridge: Because my fridge has a very proprietary GE filter that is supposed to last 6 months at a time but keeps getting clogged with sediment after only 3 weeks of use (and I can't afford replacing filters at $55 a piece every 3 weeks), I installed this Culligan filter to help pre-filter the water before it gets to my fridge's more expensive filter. It did do the trick and didn't seem to drop the water pressure at all. Since it's only supplying water to my fridge, I expect the Culligan filter inserts to last much, much longer than the six months it's rated for when used for a whole house. This was a pain to install because of the way it was designed, but it was well worth it at the price. It would have been a bit easier to install if the manufacturer had used something smaller than 1-inch threaded openings for the inlet and outlet -- it took me a couple of hours at my local big orange DIY store to find the right combination of fittings that would go from my 3/4 or 1/2 inch copper pipes in my house to the inlet and then from the outlet to the right fittings to fit my fridge water/icemaker water supply hose. I did find the right parts in the end as can be seen in the photo(s). Another problem with the 1-inch threaded fitting is that because it's such a large fitting, the threads are comparably large and coarse, so it takes a lot of teflon tape and a large amount of force to make the fittings between components water-tight. After installation, I did have an extremely slow leak (a drop every half hour) at one of the threaded points; fortunately for me, a bit more elbow grease to further tighten up the fittings stopped the leak. I'll have to keep an eye on my connections over the next few days after installation to ensure a zero leak installation, and I recommend others do the same with these types of fittings. I was hesitant to use too much force to tighten the fittings because even though Culligan claims the threaded joints are enforced with metal, the connections are still plastic and can break if too much force is used. For those without the skills, I'd recommend hiring a plumber to install the filter. The clear filter cartridge housing was also really difficult to unscrew out-of-the-box and required using the included tool to open. (You can see the black plastic tool hanging next to my filter in the photos.) It's not stated in the installation instructions, but for putting the housing back on, it's recommended in the filter cartridge instructions to only hand tighten. I only hand tightened as advised in the cartridge's instructions, and there was no leak even after 24 hours of use/water running through the filter/housing. Jut make sure to follow the instructions about the O-ring and silicone grease. The installation instructions did mention using silicone grease on the included O-ring when installing the filter housing, so I purchased some from my local big orange home DIY store. Again, no leak at the O-ring for me. The silicone grease I used was for use on potable water connections, and it took only a tiny bit to completely cover the O-ring with my fingers. Replacement O-rings themselves are available here on Amazon, and I purchased some extras because one of the other reviewers warned that his/her O-ring had gotten damaged during installation. Prime shipping got the extra O-rings to me in just a day or two, but I ended up not using them for my installation and will save them next to the filter for future use. The filter's Filter-Off-Bypass valve does work, but it's a pain in the behind to turn by hand without a tool. The valve takes a bit of strength to turn even with the included tool. I suspect that the tool itself will break eventually because it seems to be a bit flimsy for what it was designed to do: for example, instead of being made out of a solid piece of plastic, it's a semi-hollow frame, and I was really afraid it would snap off at the thinnest point every time I used it to turn the filter's valve from setting to setting. I did check that one of my local big box stores do carry universal filter housing tools of a similar design, so I think I should at least be able to open up the filter housing to replace the filter if the original tool breaks in half -- not sure yet where I'll be able to find a similar tool to change the settings on the valve, however, as the valve handle is a very unique shape. I do think that this filter along with similar looking filters from some of the other big-brands are all made by some third company that these more well-known companies purchase from and slaps their brands on. E.g., GE and Dupont both make whole-house filters at around the same price point as this Culligan filter but with their own brands -- the big difference between the others and this Culligan is that this one has the Filter-Off-Bypass valve, although Culligan also has a version without the valve like the other brands. One big plus of all this is that the filter cartridges seem to all be of the same sizes, so I won't have to worry as much about finding replacement cartridges in the distant future (decades from now) if Culligan decides to stop selling these filters. Overall, I do recommend this filter. I ended up spending almost $50 in parts and supplies to make a proper all-copper-and-brass, soldered connection to my water supply line, but the filter and filter cartridge themselves together cost less than $100. At that price, it was well worth it to get cleaner water -- and to save me lots more in the cost of replacing more expensive filters for my fridge. ... show more

Works great for a farm well
Size: 1 Inch
After about 2 years of use on a farm well, it has been working just fine. The clear filter container is great for being able to see the condition of the filter. You will need to buy some food grade silicone grease such as DANCO Waterproof Silicone Faucet Grease -- the small applicator is perfect compared to wide mouthed applicators. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000DZFUPC/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 I also use PurePlus filters because they are less expensive: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VNF7772/ref=ewc_pr_img_2?smid=A34EVML7W5BEL9&th=1 Don't skimp on the silicone grease. Be sure to lube the top and bottom of the large o-ring. It takes a bit of strength to tighten the filter container, but the supplied bung tool is perfect. Be sure to monitor for drips. It can be temperamental to tighten with no dripping. I've had to remove it and apply more grease a couple times before it stopped dripping. Also, the large black o-ring will sometimes be stuck underneath the main filter body instead of staying on the clear filter container. I panicked the first time that happened, thinking I lost the ring. ... show more

Awesome water filter.
Size: 1 Inch
I plumbed this filter housing in and put a filter in it. I used brass fittings and went directly to PEX. No leaks and it was very easy to install. Immediately, I saw some black specks caught in the filter. None were larger than 2mm but there were a few. By day three, there were a lot more specks and I thought I could see a little yellowing of the filter. I am in it less than 2 months and the color is almost as dark as the OSB board that is on the wall behind it. I know that the municipal workers try their best and they do an awesome job with the huge systems they maintain. But pipes get old and you cannot help but get some dirt in the lines here and there. I would definitely recommend that everyone get one of these and use it. It functions very well and your peace of mind knowing you are getting cleaner water has to account for something. It will also help your other filters, ice maker, tap water, etc. last much longer. ... show more

CRITICALLY important Install info the manufacturer doesn't tell you.

Review Image by Old Alice
Great filter, NIGHTMARE installation. Perhaps I can save Amazon buyers a bit of time with what not to do if you buy one. First, our 'main' water line travels underground to an exterior wall, and continues into the house under the slab. There are no exposed pipes to mount this on, so we called a licensed plumber to create the piping loops necessary to use the filter. Piping was smooth, finally the filter was mounted. Then the problems began. Our O-ring came broken, OR, the plumber broke it during install. We don't know, all we know is he told us the O-ring was broken, and that led to a mad scramble calling Amazon about immediate O-ring replacement (which is not carried by PRIME - WHY NOT?) to be shipped out to us asap, as water poured all over our garage. The plumber told us to get the O-ring and call him to come back to finish installing the filter. Meanwhile he put it on "Bypass", but it continued to leak. Rather than call him again (for a few hundred more dollars), we decided we could figure it out how to work the filter part ourselves. Solution: My LOTS of damage and money saving suggestion: buy an O-ring with the order for backup, AND Silicone Grease to plaster the O-ring down BEFORE installation. If all goes well with the installation, you have a backup O-ring (although you will still need the grease to plaster down the existing O-ring). I wish I knew about this before the purchase because we spent way more than this in water damage and water cost from the flooding in the garage for 10 hours overnight. You don't actually need a spare O-ring if you have and use the silicone grease on the included one before trying to screw the filter into the housing. Just slather the silicone grease all over the O-ring, filling in the groove. Works like a charm to stop leaks once screwed in tight. The red air-release button on top. Plumber told us that we should hold that down while turning the knob, because even he had trouble turning the top. We did just this after sealing the o-ring down, and water poured out under and around the blue cap thereafter. We thought the unit came defective, but after hours of drenching spraying mess while experimenting, we found the problem. This included poking a long strip of plastic up through the filter housing, while using a waterproof flashlight and hanging upside down to see into the main unit housing piping to ascertain the problem while water dripped into my eyes. Not fun. The PROBLEM is, if you push the red button down WHILE turning the blue handle you can trap the bottom of the air release, and it will hold that air release open in the new position (Filter, Off, or Bypass). Solution: DO NOT hold the red button down while turning. DO NOT hold the red button down at all. Once the filter is screwed into place TIGHTLY (with your O-ring plastered down with silicone grease), turn water on and TAP the red button until water BEGINS to flow. More than that and you risk getting it stuck like we did. You do not want to get it stuck. Some other facts that are not clear in the directions: - the Filter housing needs to be tight, or it leaks. Must reapply the silicone grease every single time you take it off, or it leaks. - the blue turn valve is HARD to turn. This has been noted in other reviews, but you don't know HOW hard it is initially, so you think that maybe that red air valve is a turn release. It's not. It's just HARD to turn. After all our experimenting with trying to stop water from shooting 30' across our garage, we loosened it simply by turning it so many times. NOW it works perfectly, and turns much more easily. All that said, we are glad we bought it, just wish it wasn't the ordeal it didn't have to be. If Culligan simply noted these 2 things on the box or directions, we could have saved a LOT of misery. NOTE: the red button is NOT a release for the blue valve, do NOT hold it down! Manual only mentions that it's an air valve, not that holding it down can trap it in the water spraying open position. NOTE: you NEED to buy silicone grease for the O-ring with/before the purchase, or they begin to include some in the box (because normal people do not have silicone grease laying around their house). Without the grease, it's probably going to leak, or you have to screw that filter so tightly into the housing that you will have real trouble getting it off again to change the filter. Why not tell people what they need beforehand? If you note these 2 things, installation could go really smoothly. NOW it works great, but wow... what an unnecessary ordeal! Hope you find this helpful, wish someone told me all this before I tried to install it, because the solutions are so simple!! **editing to add a photo showing how the plumber laid out the piping in the garage, and to show what the filter looks like after a month in use. Seeing how dirty the filter is, I'm even more glad I bought this! ... show more

LEAKS

This is THE WORST water filter money can buy. I installed this three years ago. It was fine at first. Then the very first time I attempted to change the dirty filter, it was EXTREMELY difficult to unscrew the housing using the WORTHLESS plastic wrench that came with it. Even just turning the bypass valve, the wrench flexed an alarming amount, I thought it would snap off, but eventually I was able to turn it to bypass. Then unscrewing the filter housing was the same - so much so that it required banging the wrench with a rubber mallet to loosen it, but eventually I did get it to move. Then I replaced the filter, replaced the o-ring, applied silicone grease to the o-ring, and tightened it all back up a reasonable amount. And there was a continuous stream of water dripping from the o-ring seal. Take it apart, put it back together, tighten it down harder than before, still drips. Repeat this five or six times, dripping reduces to acceptable level of dampness for a garage installation - still unacceptable for inside of the home, but good enough. And this thing has been my nemesis ever since. The filter catches a lot of crap, turns brown, and I go through this process again. You cannot change this filter without leaks afterwards. You need to use all of your strength, AND a mallet, to get it open, and you cannot apply enough force to tighten it enough to seal because every component is cheap worthless plastic. I finally got fed up with it and bought a longer metal wrench to be able to open it, and the first time I used the new wrench, I broke the filter completely. AVOID AVOID AVOID ... show more

Bought this to replace the Whirlpool filter I installed 5 years ago in our mountain house. The well water has a lot of silt in it and so filters only last a summer if that. When mounting the Whirlpool there was no room for bypass pluming so to change the filter the water had to be shut off but then how do you rinse out the filter bowl? The Culligan solved that problem with the built in bypass feature. Also unlike the Whirlpool the Culligan had a filter guide at both ends of the filter assembly assuring a good filter seal. Installation was easy because if fit into the same location. Overall highly recommend. Will upload a photo next time I'm up there. Uploaded the photo. As you can see I needed the filter. It looked like this after 2 days of installation and didn't seem to change. I'm on a shared well system so there may have been some work on the system before I swapped out the old filter and installed this one hence the amount of crud. Also running the Culligan RFC-BBSA Premium Whole House Filter. Next time up I will change it out. Found the best price on the filter is at Tractor Supply in stock and the stores and was $8 less. After reading some other reviews I felt an update was needed to address some of the complaints. First it is mentioned in the annual that you need to lube the seal ring. You can order food grade lubricant when you order the filter and extra seals. I ordered Haynes Lubri-Film sanitary lubricant but any food grade lubricant can work and in a pinch I have used olive oil. Also you don't need to replace the seal with every filter change but sometimes the seal will expand and not sit correctly on the filter. Second published complaint is the bypass valve being stiff. The manual clearly states to work the valve before installation. It is VERY STIFF and will take an extra set of hands or as I did just hold it on the ground with your foot. As it explains in the manual the ball valve inside the cap will take a set sitting on the shelf. Third complaint was the bleed button. Someone had a plumber install the filter and it sounded like the plumber did not read the instructions. DO NOT press the button while turning the valve. first off you don't need to do that when switch off or bypassing and second the valve can get stuck open in the the ball valve. ... show more
