Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have now purchased two of these filters: one for my home and one for my business. The installation takes about 30 minutes and buying the Culligan UB-1 bracket is almost essential. Thank you to the reviewers who provided that information. The housing for the filter is clear, so you can always see the condition of the filter. I have experimented with 50, 20, and 10 micron filters. The 20 micron seems to be best for my water issues at home. I keep a post-it next to the filter and mark down when I change it and which one I used. Just remember the lower the number, the finer the filtration, and the more frequently you will need to change the filter. The filters are very inexpensive and you can set them up in Amazon's Subscribe and Save to make your life easy and save money. Changing the filter is simple, but experience will teach you to keep a small container handy to collect any spillage from tipping the filter housing once you remove it. Also, if you fill the cartridge housing with water before screwing it back on, you will reduce the amount of air forced into your water lines when you re-engage the filter. I have city water at home and it turns everything brown, i.e. tubs, shower curtains. The cartridge turns mud brown within 40 days and I usually change it at that point. The picture below shows the filter after 2 weeks and I am holding a new filter next to it. I have noticed a reduction of staining in my showers since installing the filter. At my business, we have well-water that is high in iron content. Even after running it through a commercial softener system, the iron content is between .3 and .5 ppm which still turns bathroom fixtures. We use the whole house filter for the campground bathhouse using a 10 micron filter. I change the filter every 30 to 40 days depending on bathhouse use. I has saved me a lot of cleaning and the toilets, sinks, and showers look great. I would definitely recommend this filter for just about anyone. You really don't know what is in your water unless you have it analyzed. The water at both my home and business looked crystal clear before I installed the filter. I was amazed at the particles and staining the filter picked up. I now feel better about running the water through my water heater, dishwasher, washing machine, etc. It's worth every penny.
