POOR
While this filter will rid your water of turbidity and unpleasant tastes and odors, it does not guarantee to eliminate over 90% of chlorine like most whole house filters do.
The Culligan water filters focus on eliminating 6 major concerns related to tap water purity: cloudy water, the presence of rust of plumbing fixtures, blue-green stains, unpleasant water odors, chlorine taste and metallic taste. Not only can the Culligan water filters eliminate these 6 problems, but they can also deal with more dangerous tap water contaminants. While Culligan may not be as popular as other water filter manufacturers, such as Aquasana or Pelican, their filters are quite efficient. Moreover, they have the best approach towards their customers. Since they understand that tap water quality can differ from one region to another, Culligan offers free water tests to anyone interested in buying a whole house water filter. This way, local Culligan experts can make accurate product recommendations. Moreover, they have a diverse range of products, offering efficient solutions for different types of problems. Their products have also been tested and certified by the WQA against NSF/ANSI Standards for removal of chlorine taste and odor, and acid neutralization.
High Efficiency Whole House Water Filters
The HE whole house water filter is recommended for houses which use well water. There are three main filters to choose from: Cullar,Cullneu and Filtr-Cleer. Each filter is available in two tank sizes: 9″ tanks and 10″ tanks. These filters work on a backwashing system. They work in a similar manner as the professional filters used in water treatment plants. While this system is efficient in prolonging the lifespan of the filtration media, it is not very common for residential whole house water filters, on account of the fact that it wastes water. Despite the fact that they address different types of contaminants, these systems have a similar construction and they use similar technologies.
General Features
The Culligan filters come with electronic controllers. While this makes thinks a little complicated, this type of controls are common for well water filters. When setting up the filter for the first time, you have to program the controller, nothing too complicated, just some general settings described in the user manual. We like the fact that the controllers display the filter media lifespan and remaining capacity. As far as warranty goes, the entire filters are covered for one year of use, the Soft-Minder meter, and the remote control or the modem are covered for five years, the circuit board and the control valve body are covered for ten years and the tanks are covered for a lifetime.
