 Faucet filter November 14, 2009
Yvonne Cornell (Cooperstown, NY)
The Culligan replacement cartridge works fine in my GE filter, the transaction was smooth and the price excellent. I would purchase these again.
 Water tastes good again. November 14, 2009
Gregory and Jami Thorpe (wish i knew)
I had gotten so tired of the way our water and store bought water was tasting. So I searched for a few weeks for the right water filter for my family. The reviews one the Culligan were the best, and the price was the best. So I decided to go with this one. It was really easy to install, and the water tastes great. My son loves how easy it is to get his own water, versus using a pitcher filter and him having to ask someone to help him get a drink of water. Finally drinking water is good again, and tastes wonderful!
A Water Faucet Filter That Actually Works! November 8, 2009
M. Schnitzer (New York, NY USA)
The Brita faucet filter does an excellent job of filtering out impurities from tap water -- that is, when it manages to stay attached to the faucet. However, in my experience with it (two years and two different models), a tremendous amount of my valuable time was wasted trying to reattach the filter after it would repeatedly fall off. Although I have no direct experience with the Pur faucet filter, my understanding (drawn from other reviews) is that it suffers from the same problem.
Happily, after purchasing the CULLIGAN Faucet Filter several months ago, I can now report with confidence that it is plagued by no such similar defect. In other words, once attached, it remains firmly in place, and works every bit as effectively as rival brands. So for anyone who has tried those other brands and encountered endless frustration in endeavoring to keep them attached to the faucet, my advice is: Don't give up just yet! Try the Culligan model. It's solidly built, competitively priced, and replacement cartridges are readily available from Amazon. For me, at least, the Culligan at last put an end to the gratuitous, time-wasting burden of having to continually reattach a recalcitrant water filter.

Charles Ortiz (New York City)
Ever since I have been drinking water from our kitchen faucet, I was never aware of all the bad things that the ordinary city water contained, like: lead, water impurities,and who knows what else? Since reading an artile on the subject "How save is our drinking water", the impact that hit me between the eyes, was to search for a good water filter, that I found on Amazon.com, where to my relief I found Culligan faucet water filters. Now I know what clean water really tast like! I will never drink unfiltered tap water again! Charlie Cullgan FM-15RA faucet water filter.
 FM-15RA inconsistent with FM-15R - please advise! October 15, 2009

Hi, perhaps someone can resolve my confusion.
I also decided to add these photos for clarification to the guy who responded to me stating that he didn't have what to compare the FM-15RA with:

I just purchased some FM-15RA replacement filters. In the past, I used to get the FM-15R models which were made in USA (not China like these newfangled 15RA ones).
Anyway, in the past, I'd found that some of the FM-15R ones would gush (rather than flow), so I phoned Culligan in mid 2008, and after LOTS of hassle, reached a guy who actually knew something.
He asked me to check whether any of the holes are black rather than white. He said that all the holes need to be white NOT black to filter well.
Sure enough, the ones which gushed had some black holes, so he sent replacements which all had pure white at the holes.
Anyway, now I received the ones made in China, which seem like junk, since they're lighter weight than the USA ones. Note i still have the USA ones, so i could compare.
Also, in the past, the USA ones did not emit what looks like vapor/smoke (probably the charcoal), upon screwing in & trying out for the first time. But the Chinese-made one DOES cause vapor/smoke (charcoal) to emit - which gives me the creeps, because it reminds me of when I erroneously poured Drano down the drain & it emitted similar vapor & hissed toxicly for a long time afterward to the extent that the clog-fixer-guy said it might have caused corrosion of pipes.
But above all:
I'm really baffled now, because these newfangled Chinese made FM-15-RA's all have greyish-black at the holes, rather than white. Yet the one I just now tried is not gushing (despite the blackish holes). Rather, it's flowing.
This is inconsistent with what the Culligan guy had told me regarding the FM-15R. Because going according to him, these newfangled ones ought to be gushing since the holes are not pure white, but rather greyish black??!!
So what am I to believe?
