WH-HD200-C

Solid build. 4 stars only due to same as some others had complaint about threading issue. Mine encountered when screwing the 3/4 to 1/2 adapter on the outlet side. The adapter went in slanting. Take note of this, it's real.

Lo fundamental, puedes ver como se va ensuciando el filtro

Installed for a month and no issues. Filter is removing the iron as noted per manufacturer. Easy install using shark bite type connectors.

Bought the Culligan as a replacement to a same sized GE unit which cracked after more than 10 years of use. It is very well made and comes with a decent mounting bracket which is a must because these types of filters are very difficult to unscrew. The bypass valve is very stiff and is probably meant to be like that because the wrench to undo the filter also has a slot to fit over the bypass valve handle. One note, on the GE filter I had to change the O-ring with every filter change because it would stretch when unscrewing the filter...not sure how it will be with the Culligan; the O-ring is much thicker...and is expensive! Culligan filters, at least on Amazon, are more expensive than other filters. Finally, someone mentioned that the female threads are plastic and prone to stripping: like all such products you have to screw it in delicately by hand as far as possible BEFORE using any mechanical tightening aid. Also remember to use a fair amount of teflon tape.

I plumbed this filter housing in and put a filter in it. I used brass fittings and went directly to PEX. No leaks and it was very easy to install. Immediately, I saw some black specks caught in the filter. None were larger than 2mm but there were a few. By day three, there were a lot more specks and I thought I could see a little yellowing of the filter. I am in it less than 2 months and the color is almost as dark as the OSB board that is on the wall behind it. I know that the municipal workers try their best and they do an awesome job with the huge systems they maintain. But pipes get old and you cannot help but get some dirt in the lines here and there. I would definitely recommend that everyone get one of these and use it. It functions very well and your peace of mind knowing you are getting cleaner water has to account for something. It will also help your other filters, ice maker, tap water, etc. last much longer.
