Faucet-mount water filter - Recommendations?
 

I currently have a Culligan FM-15 kitchen faucet water. It was rated
#1 for water taste a few years back by Consumer Reports. While I love
the taste of the water, the flow rate is glacial and the filters are
rather expensive. I'm now looking to replace it.

I've seen an Omni F-1 faucet mount filter for $14.97 at Walmart:

Is this filter any good? Does anyone here have one--what do you think
of it?

In Jan 03 Consumer Reports rated the GE Smar****er GXFM03C as the best
faucet mount filter tested. Any comments on this filter?


Any water filter recommedations under $40 would be greatly
appreciated.



p.s. If I had the money I'd buy the Kenmore 38460 undersink model.

ALl I can say is that I replaced my Pur with the CUlligan you spoke
of. From what I see, the water flow is actually FASTER and the water
tastes noticiably better.

The filters are no more expensive and maybe a little less so than the
Pur and Brita filters I saw. I wanted to go with something that I
could easily find filters for in many places and that is the reason I
focused on the ones I did.

I for one am VERY pleased with the Culligan

BTW, I looked closer at the GE filter--it looks surprisingly similiar
to the Culligan filter:

You took the words right out of my mouth (I was about to suggest the
Kenmore). Because while it's $79, I believe maintenance isn't so much.
And someone else recommended it to me on another forum, as being
hassle free.

Though note that it requires an extra faucet hole to be available
(unlike both the mounting-filters, and the Moen filtering-faucets, not
to mention the Franke TFS-300 which is WAY expensive).
