I would HIGHLY recommend that nobody install this water filter regardless of price & if you have one already installed, that you replace the spigot assembly ASAP. I had one of these in my house and it lasted about a year before leaking. Luckily we noticed the leak under the sink quickly before major water damage. As other have said here, the design is severly flawed and hazardous. I am an mechanical engineer and am absolutely AMAZED that anybody would design this product as it is. It is beyond incompetence, it is gross negligence. The bottom threaded stem is nylon, which on its own, although problematic, is not a fundemental flaw. It is the way they attached the plastic to the rest of the assembly, using a plastic to plastic bond that is highly stressed when installed. The assembly is made such that the attaching joint is stressed by the main mounting nut and any other forces on the facet head (ie usage, cleaning, accidental bumping when wiping sink or filling pots). Overtightening during installation or bumping the facet will either break, or worse, initiate a flaw in the joint, which over time will surely open up into a major leak at any random time due to the mounting nut stress being concentrated at the flaw and material creep. If this leaks into a hidden under-sink area or while you are away, you may incure massive flood damage to your home. Replace the spigot with a metal one. I used an inexpensive all metal GE one which will surely outlast my kitchen.

Drinking water faucet is made of chromed plastic. The plastic button on the handle falls out and can be easily lost. The rate of water flow is frustratingly slow. To fill a 12 cup coffee reservoir takes several minutes. This flow rate is beginning to degrade as time passes (30 days) since installation. The installation was not too bad, but I had to purchase a new flexible faucet supply line because the adapter for the filtration system shortens the path between the water supply valve and the cold water stub on the sink faucet. Also, a watch style battery comes with each filter cartridge, but they do not tell you how/where to install it. It goes in the plastic faucet handle, but the polarity is a crap shoot. If you put it in backwards, the cartridge timer light glows red. Putting it in the other way, the light goes out, so I suppose it starts a six month timer and then turns on. Water tastes excellent using a US-EZ-3 style cartridge with well water.

I suppose I''ve grown accustomed to this drinking water system. Although slow, it is effective and performs it''s intended function well. I believe the flow rate is comparable to any type of filtered water system, therefore I''ve updated my review. I''ve replaced several cartridges since installation. Cartridge replacement is simple. I would recommend this system.

i wanted to return it because the water is only dripping out of the faucet

however its been over 30 days so i can''t

the water tastes pretty good and the filter seems to do its job but it comes out so slow that it is unusable.

We''ve had this product installed and working for about 2 months now. We drink alot of hot coffee, tea.. so we''re always boiling the water. For the first 2 weeks it was great, when we boiled the water, it never left any trace of minerals in our pot. However, for some reason, after the 2 weeks, it started to leave a white mineral deposit on the bottom of the pot that I was using to boil the filtered water. Which makes me wonder how well the Culligan is actually filtering things out......

This water filter system installed easily. I don''t notice any chlorine smell in the water, so I feel it''s working properly. The instructions don''t say anything about the battery & the light in the spigot base. I put the battery in & the light flashed a few times, then went out. I''m assuming that when the light comes on... it''ll be time to change the filter?
