Culligan Tech support recommends turning the top handle back and forth TEN to FIFTEEN times before installing the unit. That info used to be on their web-site, but the tech from Culligan International said that it has been removed for some reason. I installed mine in the Spring of 2021 WITHOUT doing this. In October, I could not turn the knob. (I never touched it before, as I never bypassed the unit.) It was difficult, but with some elbow grease and the wrench, I was able to get it to move, and I turned it back and forth the recommended 15 times. Works smoothly now. press the red button when the unit is under full pressure from the pipeline. Always shut the water off first. If you don't, water will get into the mechanism, and it will leak for a while. IF the unit leaks after installation and the O-Ring is intact and in place. Remove the housing and the filter and, with a long Phillips screwdriver, slightly tighten the screw that is inside the cap, just under the red pressure release button. Great video. Thanks. I hope my additional input is helpful.

Thanks for this vid. Home owner told us the water bypass wasn't needed before taking it off...but yeah, glad I followed your info here and shut all the water down, 1000 times easier.

Appreciate the review. Came to YouTube to see if this was the right filter setup for me (same issue as you mention at beginning of video) and you helped me make my choice. Also you mentioned Amazon- it’s $20 cheaper there than my local hardware store. I’ll be ordering today! But… I’ll spring for the SharkBites. Just laziness on my part. Thanks again!😊

Here to show our support. We actually did a review of both a Brita and Pur water filter. We liked, watched and commented.

Thanks for the review. I bought 4 of these and made a diy step down system going 50 micron, 20, 5, 1 to a uv. They work great. The visibility is nice. However, it can be deceptive. A 50 or 20 micron filter will look much dirtier than a 1 or a 5 and the 1 or 5 could be plugged up and require a change. I used pex and shark bites. Put a shutoff valve before and after your filtration system. Throw a carbon filter in the mix if you need to clean up the taste.

🤣 I’ve read that review on Amazon with water shooting 30’ out. It was hilarious ❗️
Thank you for your review ❗️ Great stuff - your video that is. So is the filter !

Thanks for the review. I was wondering how the F I was suppose to turn the knob. And the filter wrench was the answer. (I could have probably just read the damn manual).

Well rocket science people love to bitch , complain, and blame someone else enjoyed your review and comments

After owning a few homes and many water filtration systems.... First...I would have a 10 micron or smaller filter. Lots of people use 1 micron...and thats ideal. AFTER the 10 micron filter I would have a SEPARATE charcoal filter for taste snd odor. My charcoal filter goes to the refrigerator and a separate spout....lasts a LONG time. Next...I have given up on built in diverters on top...they fail and leak. A nice ball valve before and after is all you need...the canister head has a button pressure release. Those are my tips for my himes now. There is a guy in here that cleans his 1 micron filter with oxalic acid ....and reuses the pleated filter 20 times! He even reuses the oxalic acid to soak them...4 times. He has a well...and obviously no charcoal combination filter. Lastly...plenty of plumbers make worse looking solder joints than you. They look good. My systems are all PEX A.

Great job! I’m going to install mine tomorrow.

We did have one that busted at the seam on top of the out side at 4 am! That was no fun but we got it fixed up with a new on under warranty it was only 28 days old. All good now.

one thing. when u change the filter dont wrench tight the housing after. all you need is hand tight and greasing the o ring. wont leak. i almost couldnt get the one that was on there off from the previous owner.

[shythawks]

Great video. I have purchased a whole house filter similar to this, and am awaiting help with installing it from my son (a contractor). I like that you did it yourself, and your comparison filter reviews. I wanted the larger GPM flow from the filter, so 1" works best for that. Also, the clear plastic cover allows you visual checks on how your filter is doing and is a great benefit.

OMG. The previous owner was drinking swamp water. Can I ask is that city water you are filtering or well water? Thanks. Very good video. Makes one think about their health.
