Culligan Water Filter - Review and Change Filter Cartridge

One part of our whole house water filter system is the Culligan 10" x 4.5" water filter. I actually have two of them installed in line after the iSpring filters. These filters remove mainly rust from the well water coming into our house. I change them once a month.
This video is my opinion of the Culligan filters and the process for changing the filter cartridge and the steps involved.

Bro I never had a problem like you at removing the filter. You're tightening them way to tight, you only hand tighten the filter then with a quarter turn or so to snug it up with the wrench. Over tightening the filter will cause you to have issue's with the o-ring such as you see in this video, I've been using the same o-ring for over five years with no leaks or deformities. It is a good idea to have a spare o-ring on hand encase you do have issue's. The grease that you use is a silicon grease, you pick it up in the pluming section of a hardware store of your choice.

Really appreciate you showing EVERYTHING and going back to add additional clarifying comments. This video and your longer video showing the entire job helped me greatly.

I inherited the Culligan 360. After watching various videos on water filter replacement, it seems that many systems work in a similar way. Watching your video, I noticed that you shut off the water to the house and also said something about the "bypass." For newcomers to water filter replacement, it would be so helpful if you explained what a bypass is, what it does. More women than men now own their own homes. I've been in that club for 20 years but water filtration is new to me. Help! Before you said, "Okay, the water is back on, " I think you also switched the bypass back on without mentioning it?? I love learning more about doing my own home improvement but I am aware of my limitations. Changing a water filtr does not scare me if I have clear instructions. You are good at this YouTube stuff. Just verbalize every step. Talk to women, too. We learn fast. Thank you so much!

I love that you put time stamps. Thank you!

Hey, the filter has bypass. You don't need to turn all of valves off. Just turn water filter top blue handle to close direction. Then bush the red button to release the pressure. next is to take body off. Without bypass of filter, its much cheaper. I find menards sell the most lower price of water filter at $58 with bypass and clear body.

Hey, I really like your setup. I'm in the works to switch over to something like it. I was wondering where you buy the Culligan filters from in bulk? I know this video is from 2019, so things have probably changed but figured it didn't hurt to ask.

I am using two of these to replace my ap917 and ap910 filters, the 5 micron filters are 300 a pair and last a few months. these you have are much cheaper and you can monitor the dirt from the clear base. thanks...

[ms.crystal]

Where is the 20-micron filter? Can't find it in your links?

[truthseeker]

Should I have two or one would’ve been enough thanks great video

Good work.. If you want to add Osmosis filter, where you install? I will try do same in my house in Panamá.

[swapsakpal]

Which one is better or work best on water softener. Instant or storage geyser

[bigsidable]

I just installed one myself. Magnesium in our well. I have a soft water tank. But the well water is really bad. So I put a filter. Pre-. filter to house. The diverted Handel a pain. But I put TriFlow on the diverted. Turns much easier. Then I don't do anything. Unless I have Triflow.

[richardkennedy]

Thanks for the instructional video. It helped.

[dalemckenzie]

Can I get a list of parts you used to set up this system?

[gregoriodecker]

That's not a bypass valve on the tops of the filter housing where the blow off valve is? And if you shut off the side where water comes in but not the house side and crack open a faucet it will relieve the pressure making the filter housing easier to open.

[allenletizia]

What about the battery it takes . How often you got change it? You know cost of 1?

Make sure to get a brand so that generic filters work so that you can buy in bulk and save money
