What is Reddit's opinion of Culligan FM-15A Advanced Faucet Mount Filter, 200 Gallon, White?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

This is what I have if it's helpful. The replacement cartridges are three for $21 and each one lasts two months. Much cheaper than buying bottled water in large quantities for months.

No surprise there. Never fully trust anyone, ever, making any claims, anywhere, about the quality or condition of drinking water (or anything else for that matter). How many municipalities on Earth will say: Our water that we sell for a profit, is really bad (or just slightly bad) for your health.

Always, in all things, take it upon yourself to do all that you can, to protect your own health. Of one brand or another, I've had a tap water filter on my kitchen faucet since the 80's. Everywhere I live! Bottled drinking water is still a product made by someone else. Do they use good filters? Or even any filters? {I use distilled bottled water for equipment.}

I use a Culligan faucet filter. It greatly improves the water. Removing a lot of the bleach thats in the water. Then I use a Pur pitcher filter. Water tastes a lot better.

When I don't have access to the filters (like on set) I use bottled water to boil for tea.

Thanks to Woody I've purchased 6 Nalgenes.

I only drink water and I drink a lot. Bottled water can be expensive and I always had ton of recycling. I didn't like the way my tap water tasted and every water bottled I tried left the water with a plastic taste. After hearing Woody and Andy rave about Nalgene bottles I got myself one and this faucet filter that makes the water taste better.

Now I'm pretty picky, I didn't like to drink anything cheaper than Evian, but with the filter my water tastes great and the Nalgene doesn't have a plastic taste to it at all. I loved it so much I ordered a second one so I can have one chilling in the fridge while I drink the other. Then I thought I would try a wide mouth one, I greatly prefer the narrow so that one doesn't get used much. Then I ordered 3 more for family members.

The water filter was only ~$15 and a Nalgene is ~$10 so yeah this setup can save a small fortune. Thanks Woody.

I live in an apartment near campus. I read the Pittsburgh water report when I moved in and immediately bought one of the water filters that goes on your sink faucet. The free lead test from Pittsburgh would have taken several weeks and sounded really inconvenient - they drop off bottles outside your building, you have to get them and fill them and leave them to get picked up - I wasn't sure how that would work in an apartment building. The other option for testing is buying your own test kit, but a quality test kit is more expensive than a quality filter, and, based on reviews, a lot of them aren't all that accurate. (although also consider that the filter will need to be replaced periodically - in the long run, it is more expensive than a test kit)

For anyone who doesn't want to read the report, Pittsburgh (14.8 µg/L in 2015) is just under the level at which a city is supposed take action for lead (15 µg/L). So, not technically awful, but kinda scary. Hence my filter :) I got this one. It was $20 and well-reviewed by Consumer Reports.
