Culligan SY-1000 Easy Change Drinking Water System With Faucet and Filter
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
Failed after 3 years, causing water damage.
Update after about 3 years of use: Downgrading to 1 star.
Well, I'm afraid I can no longer recommend this filter at all. This morning, I woke up to my downstairs neighbor alarmed that he had a leak coming through the ceiling of his kitchen. The root cause, unfortunately, was that this filter had failed. Whether it is the seals on the replacement cartridge or the housing that went bad, I'm not sure. However, I'm not about to buy another replacement cartridge if this system is prone to failure and could yet again cause damage to the condo below me. I may even be contacting Culligan to see about having them cover the repairs as it is their product that caused the damage.
Also, I've come to really dislike the included faucet. It seems that over time the flow has just gotten worse and worse. Also, I think its easy enough to turn that my cat may have brushed it and I came home to the water running nonstop one day.
Hopefully my next filter will have a more...

Big improvement on taste of city water
First off I am amazed at how cheap this product is going for. I bought 2 of these for $80 a pop (with filter) about 2 years ago in my local hardware store.
As for installation, if you know what your doing it is a fairly easy job with the kit they give you, about 1/2 hour. If your not the handy man of woman it might take you a bit longer, just follow the instructions carefully and DO NOT over tighten the fittings. Myself I bypassed the t fitting and all the cheap tubing they give you, by buying some ice maker tubing with compression fitted ends and a couple of adapters. It cost me $20 but only took 5 minutes to hook up.
The taste difference between city water and filtered city water is a no brainer, the filter definitely does its job and removes that harsh taste. You honestly can't tell the difference between water filtered through this system than from a newly opened bottle of Poland springs water.
I tested my water with a cheap test kit and it...
good filter - super crummy fountain
The actual filter and holder work great. Easy to install and hook up. The fountain that comes with it is a cheap plastic piece of junk that would only look good in an old RV. The plastic T-fitting that comes with it is junk too in my opinion, the tubing is just press fit into it, not what I would call reliable. I bought a good brass one for less than 5 dollars. The filter kit doesn't have enough tube end fittings for this switch however.
I would have been a lot happier if this kit was just the filter, holder and tubing. I bought the 'Water Filter Faucet Euro Design Brushed Nickel
by Crystal Clear' for it. Looks great, works great and mates up perfectly with some extra tube end fittings (use only plastic ferrules, not the brass ones).
The replacement filter is the 1000R for the best filtration. For a 500 gallon capacity why skimp on the filter.
