Culligan SY-1000S Easy Change Undersink Drinking Water Filtration System Review

Culligan SY-1000S Easy Change Undersink Drinking Water Filtration System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just installed this system this week. I did some extensive research on several filters and decided that this was the one that would best suite my needs. The price was also very good. Other systems that I considered were the Kenmore 38461, the Culligan US-EZ-4, Pentek US-1000, and the Culligan Preferred 250. This one had the cheapest initial system cost, filter replacement cost, and additional parts cost.

After reading reviews of the US-EZ-4, I decided that with that system, I'd have to buy a different faucet than the one supplied, which would add to the already higher cost of that system. Plus, the replacement filter runs about $25 more for that model than the SY-1000 (look on E-Bay for some great deals).

After all those calculations, the SY-1000 had the lowest effective cost/gallon over a 5 year span (Under 4 cents/gallon) with the US-EZ-4 having the highest cost. Way to bring value to your newer product line, Culligan.

I was a bit worried about them possibly discontinuing the replacement filters for this, but it seems that Pentek is the actual manufacturer of the cartridges and they are continuing to make replacements (Pentek QC10-CBRR) as well as sell the filter system under their own brand name. I plan on stocking up on a few just in case.

Pros:
-Filters: Chlorine, Lindane, Atrazine, Lead, Cysts, particles > 0.5 micron
-Very Inexpensive relative to other systems
-Includes most necessary hardware
-Faucet is a good height, seems durable, don't have to hold down a button to keep water flowing.
-Water tastes way better now, compared to untreated Austin city water. Better than bottled water.
-Cartridge easy to change - single cartridge.
-Much more convenient than Pur/Brita water pitchers

Cons:
-Included T-fitting was wrong size (1/2"), where I needed 3/8" that goes to my sink. The included water fitting was also plastic and felt cheaply made. The correct fittings for my setup cost around $12 or so at Home Depot. Be sure to talk to somebody who knows plumbing and how to properly fit the plastic tubing.
-Faucet threading is not long enough for my granite countertop, which is slightly thicker than 1". My solution was to use a flat washer instead of the weird bracket one they provided.
-DOESN'T (claim to) filter chloroform, MTBE, VOC, Asbestos, Mercury. Austin claims these things are not in the water supply, so it seemed ok for my purposes. I was mostly concerned about taste, lead, and cysts.It has only been a few days, but so far I'd recommend this product. I only give it 4 stars for the poor thread length on the faucet and lack of proper fittings. The filter is what really matters, though.

This filter is fairly cheap, and turns tap water into odor free, taste free wetness. I can't speak for the lab results claimed by the manufacturer, but it does a fantastic job when measured by the nose and taste buds. Even if you use an additional faucet filter for drinking water, this filter does the job for cooking water, wash water, and more.

Walgreens Clearly Better Pitcher Filter Replacement Cartridge Review

The listed price for this item seems wrong. I just got a three-pack of these filters at a Walgreens store for about $15. Clearly someone has made a mistake because it seems the picture is for a one-filter pack but the price is quite high. What gives?

As for the quality, the jury is out. I replaced my Brita filter for a Brita pitcher with the Walgreens/Culligan less-costly replacement. And the water has a strange taste, almost like citrus. I can't understand that. It tastes flavored, and not a very good flavor. The water is the same as before. With the Brita filter it just tasted like clean, neutral water.

Watts 520021 RV/Boat Single Exterior Water Filter with Garden Hose Fittings Review

Watts 520021 RV/Boat Single Exterior Water Filter with Garden Hose Fittings
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
There has been a lot of construction in our area lately.There has been a bit of sediment in the water coming in the mains.This looked like a good way to keep the garden emitters from clogging.

The water pressure in my house is fairly high - I've seen it burst new garden hoses like balloons.Still, this is hard plastic and shouldn't have problems.The outlet connection on one of the units leaked a little, needed tightening, and the adapter may need replacing.It'd be nice if the threaded interfaces on these things could be brass instead of plastic.

Otherwise, it's a very useful unit, I also got one for the RV; it hasn't leaked yet.

We connected this to our new Culligan water filter system (US-EZ-4 Under-sink). It is all-metal.

GE Faucet Mount Water Filter Review

GE Faucet Mount Water Filter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this water filter because I have had good experiences with GE appliances
over the years, particularly with kitchen appliances. This water filter turned out to be a huge disappointment :

- difficult to install on the faucet to make it leak-free (swivel collar is
plastic which yields some when being tightened)

- water filter cartridge has very short life (less than three months even when
only used occasionally)

- after six months, water filter would not return automatically to the
non-filtered mode, i.e. whenever the faucet was turned on, it would only provide
filtered water

- electronic monitoring system is faulty, i.e. after a few months, amber light
would come on followed by green light, even though battery and filter cartridge
were still okay

- changing battery takes some patience, i.e. typically had to re-install it
several times and reset it until it finally worked correctly

All in all : a disappointing water filter with several design/quality problems
that an appliance manufacturer like GE should not have

CrystalQuest Faucet Water Filter Review

CrystalQuest Faucet Water Filter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Assuming that the filter cartridge works as advertised, I rate this a superior product (with caveats).

I have used other name brand faucet filters such as Culligan and PUR, and they were okay, but this one seems to have a more sturdy build, especially for the price. In addition, the flow rate is much better. With the others, it took over two minutes to fill a one-gallon jug; with this, about 35 seconds.

It also pivots out of the way with ease, whereas the others have an annoying friction, probably due to o-ring seals.

Yet, the CrystalQuest doesn't leak (after four months' use). It remains to be seen whether or not it will develop leaks; the others did after about a year of use. I suspect this one is less susceptible to leaks, due to its flow rate, which indicates much less back pressure.

Caveats: although the filter is highly rated, it does seem I get more of a chlorine taste than I did with my previous buys. And also, when I bought it, the filter cartridges were rated for a year/2000 gallons (much better than the others, typically 3 months/200 gallons), yet my warranty says void if the cartridge is used for more than six months.

Huh? Shouldn't the system be warranted for as long as the cartridge?

Anyway, for the price, I rate it better than the others I have used, and the price is right. The replacement cartridges are also more reasonably- priced than the bigger name brands.

Aqua-Pure AP200 Under-Sink Water Filter System Review

Aqua-Pure AP200 Under-Sink Water Filter System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I wanted to give the Aqua-Pure a try before spending a fortune on a reverse osmosis system that would also take up all the space under the sink. To my relief, and a bit of a surprise, it actually works. I can compare the unfiltered to the filtered and there is a huge difference. And, it takes up little space.

Water companies have different issues to deal with in various areas of the country. Not far from here, my mother had a terrible iron problem, and I have none to deal with. I would imagine that a simple system like the AP200 might work in some areas and not others. If the water is really terrible, then perhaps only a more complex system would work and maybe not even then.

So, it works perfectly for me, but I do have issues. First, it is really expensive for what it is! This is a simple plastic device, two pieces and a gasket.$92 is a lot for that.

The filter screws into the housing. Since it is plastic, I have always been careful, but once I did find that the filter had broken off at the threads. This required taking everything out and doing something clever to remove the broken-off part from the housing.

Did I screw it in too tightly? Hmmm, I'm pretty careful about such things. I would hate to think it broke from normal water pressure or some sort of surge. I have no water hammer problem. In any case, it isn't very durable and takes too much care to install the filter cartridge.

The better news is that the filters come two in a box. Amazon's description makes it seem like you are only getting one for almost $50. Since they last me at least a year, that is only $25/year, which isn't too bad.

As with any filter, you do have to tap into the plumbing under the sink. That gets you into the world of plumbing and those who have been there know that there is little standardization and lots of options.

Again, as with any filter, you really have to use a separate faucet. Running all your cold water through this filter would shorten its life considerably and at only 2 GPM, the flow would be really slow.

I put my system in when I changed the sink and I bought one that had a hole in it for a separate faucet. Some homes have the faucets coming through the counter, but drilling would still be necessary.

In my area, and my circumstances, the Aqua-Pure turns out to be a fine option. We don't buy bottled water, the coffee and ice cubes are better and we use it to cook in. The regular water goes to the dishwasher and for sink duty.

So, I think it works just fine in most situations, takes up little room and is easier to install that some other systems. It is too expensive and fragile to get the coveted five stars, so it gets three.
