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: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...702#long_descr 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. |

BTW, I looked closer at the GE filter--it looks surprisingly similiar
to the Culligan filter: http://www.culligan.com/product.asp?...ID=4&Section=1 (Aquilonious) wrote in message . com... I currently have a Culligan FM-15 kitchen faucet water.

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