Music moves us!: I’ve got this item on auto buy every 3 months. I haven’t tested the water after filtration so no comment there. Water tastes good and no issues.

Guilherme Inoue: This filter replacement works as it should and as the original that came with the kit, it works great, the water flow is amazing and the flavor is pretty much non-existent and one of the best filters I ever owned.
However in order to get those benefits there are some cost, first if you live somewhere with below ideal water quality, they will wear out fast, really fast and you won't get those claimed 200 Gallons before the water flow drops drastically to a few drops flow.
Also it's not the easiest filter to change, sure in theory is just unscrewing and removing the old and screw the new one, but the position and the format makes it not the easiest to get a grip to be able to do that, and the shell that covers the filter feels flimsy and there is a constant feeling that will snap if you apply a bit more force to open it.
All in all it worth the investment for the quality of the water you get, however depending on how much water your household consumes and the quality of water where you live or even the age of the pipes on your house, that can become a bit expensive considering the replacement cost is not that low and when the filter lifespan is done it...

Michael: ***Long short of this review, THIS IS AN AMAZING WATER FILTER!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!***
Here are the facts about this water filter:
1) Consumer Reports highly rates this filter, "EXCELLENT (highest rating)" for LEAD REMOVAL, CHLOROFORM REMOVAL, & CLOGGING. Rated FAIR for FLOW RATE. The flow rate isn't fast, but it is decent, and steady. I personally fill up several gallon jugs of filtered water & put them in a mini-frig for convenience.
2) DO NOT RUN HOT WATER through the filter EVER, ONLY COLD WATER, or you will significantly reduce its life-cycle. I live in Pittsburgh where the water is over the federal lead limit & the water tastes bad unfiltered. This filter does an excellent job if you use the filter appropriately & the water tastes amazing. Some people say it doesn't last more than a month. Filtering HOT WATER is possibly why so many people complain about it not lasting as long, or their water quality is so bad that the filter is working overtime.
3) As previously stated, the FM-15A replacement filter is the SAME w/ a different color = BUY IT TO SAVE MONEY (b/c you can't see it anyway unless you put your head under the...

Kelly Novak: Culligan FM-15RA Level 3 Faucet Filter Replacement Cartridge
I've been using this for a couple of months now and I'm very happy with it. I think the Culligan faucet filters are a better quality build than the Brita faucet filters I've had in the past. Also I think the Culligan water tastes a little better.

If you're trying to decide between a faucet filter and a pitcher filter, the faucet filters take more out of the water. Some faucet filters, including this one, meet NSF/ANSI standards 42 and 53. Pitcher filters generally only meet NSF/ANSI 42.

Quoting from the NSF dot ORG website:

"NSF/ANSI 42 establishes the minimum requirements for the certification of POU/POE filtration systems designed to reduce specific aesthetic or non-health-related contaminants (chlorine, taste, odor and particulates) that may be present in public or private drinking water.
The scope of NSF/ANSI 42 includes material safety, structural integrity and aesthetic, non-health-related contaminant reduction performance claims. The most common technology addressed by this standard is carbon filtration."

"NSF/ANSI 53 establishes the minimum requirements for...

Emcee Hamner: While it's been mentioned before that this filter meets or exceeds the filtering quality of Brita, I think it needs to be mentioned again just how amazing this product is. It is far superior in design from the Brita. Some background: I drink a lot of water; only water and green tea, frankly. I home-brew gallons of green tea a month, made with filtered faucet water, storing it in reusable glass bottles for personal use. I live in the desert where calcium and mineral deposits in the water are common and obvious if not filtered out. When the water is not filtered, it's obvious.

I first used Brita's disposable faucet filters and liked those pretty well, and then when that was discontinued, I went to Brita's other faucet filters (On-Tap, 42633, FF something or other). While the water with Brita was good, the device was poorly made, and I was changing filters quite often. Everything was plastic, even the attachment to the faucet was plastic. And while it had an indicator light to let me know when I "needed" to change the filter, that burned out/stopped working after about six months, leaving me to rely on what is commonly referred to as "taste buds", which to...
