Culligan Zero Water Filter

I have the 12 cup pitcher, and the 20 cup table top dispenser that I use to fill my humidifier, and then I have a Culligan zero water pitcher as it uses it's own zero water filter. That one comes in white. Everything I bought at Walmart, replacement filters too. Hope this helps!

I know that defeats the point of having a water filter, but for my worrying heart, I must know, is it safe to consume the water? For example, does the filter add back in particulates? Is there a fear of bacterial growth? Technically our water is safe to drink. So really the question is, is a filter that reads 50 still better to drink than tap (hard upstate NY well water)? If I were to wait until 50 or something above recommended replacement #, is it just the water going back to its base unfiltered state? Or, is there a risk of worse pollution than if I were to just drink the tap itself? submitted by /u/Ollij713 to r/WaterFilters [link] [comments]

Hi guys! I live in an urban area with notoriously bad tap water. I’ve been using a culligan pitcher (which is I think zero water rebranded?) which has been going fine, but recently our water has gone from 500-600ppm unfiltered to 800-900ppm, and the culligan cant keep up anymore. There’s also sort of a noticeable taste to the water which I really don’t like. does anyone have any tips? Most important thing to me is safety and taste, but I’m not super knowledgeable on this stuff. IS there a fridge type filter I could buy that would help? submitted by /u/Wonderful_Finance143 to r/WaterTreatment [link] [comments]

Edit: Looks like it’s the UK one: https://shop.culligan.co.uk/?srsltid=AfmBOoqPSv3luTbWRNrtGTygml8GHHIg03IVbMy4_uHszePCkVguJs0g A message from Culligan ZeroWater: For nearly five years, Culligan ZeroWater has had the privilege of helping to filter water in homes across the UK. Being part of your daily routine - in your kitchens, offices, and homes has genuinely meant a great deal to us. After much consideration, we’ve made the difficult decision to close shop.culligan.co.uk. This hasn’t been an easy choice, and we know it may come as a disappointment. We can only say thank you for choosing Culligan ZeroWater and for supporting our UK team. Think we all saw this coming. Annoying because I actually love the product and stayed with them through the Culligan handover. Anyone know the reason why? I get the sense that the price was too high & their supply chain seemed all over the place. What are good alternatives? submitted by /u/WeeklyPeace6497 to r/zerowater [link] [comments]

Does anyone know if the zero water filter under Culligan water fit the old Zero water jugs? submitted by /u/MsJenX to r/HydroHomies [link] [comments]

I noticed that my water pitcher's filter was smelling a little like someone was using the bathroom it was october 2025 when i bought the pitcher with the filter so it wasn't a long ago i check its tds levels and it not even on six (which would be the time to change the filter) i'll check tomorrow to see if the tds meter says something else the water in these gallon bottles that i got from the pitcher water doesn't smell when it's in the bottles.😕🤷‍♂️ submitted by /u/Initial_Cookie1593 to r/SavageGarden [link] [comments]

I’ve started seeing advertisements for a zero plastic water filter. Has anyone ever gotten one or seen one in person and knows how well they work? https://shop.culligan.com/products/scout-maxclear-gravity-system submitted by /u/OnwardExplorer to r/PlasticFreeLiving [link] [comments]

If you are a Zero Water user in the UK Culligan are closing down their UK operations (no reason given) It's 50% their filter jugs and filters "while stocks last" I stocked up with 2 years worth. After that it's going to be very expensive import prices. I'll probably switch to a different water solution at that point. Disappointing news. Stock up whilst you can folks. submitted by /u/Joingojon2 to r/espresso [link] [comments]

I recently purchased a Culligan with ZeroWater pitcher and I keep running into the same issue with the filters. After about two weeks, the water starts tasting disgusting, but the TDS reader still says "0." It definitely works, though: I tried using it with unfiltered tap water and it went up to 260 (NYC tap water). Does this just happen? I have read about people saying the water tastes off after a while, but always alongside a higher TDS read. Mine just tastes off, but TDS is still zero. Has anyone found a solution or explanation? Alternatively, I am considering getting knockoff filters at this point, if they have a longer lifespan. Anyone got any recs for these? I am starting to regret this purchase, wish I had stuck with my cheaper Brita. submitted by /u/No-Tea-1997 to r/zerowater [link] [comments]

Been distilled water for 4 months now, recently feel I've been going through a new transition phase or maybe it's the weather changing here in the UK. Anyway distilled water is super expensive here and I remember on one of my past posts someone suggesting the Culligan ZeroWater filters, my big 25L DW supply was running low, so I bought one in the black Friday sale. Our tap water read at 336 TDS It will be interesting to see how long it takes before I need a new filter to make it cost effective and a greener choice for the planet as I haven't looked into how the filters are disposed of yet. I look forward to updating this community to see how my hair reacts and how many litres I get before I need to change the filter I do have an unrelated question I've been thinking of lately... If for whatever reason you need to wash your hair with non DW / high TDS water would you do anything different the next wash when you're back to your usual DW routine? Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their week 😊 submitted by /u/iregretthemilk to r/DistilledWaterHair [link] [comments]

I found a berkey royal (3.25 gal) for super cheap at a yard sale!!! I've had friends tell me how great they are, but the cost always put me off. For the last two years I've been using a zero filter, but wanted to get away from how much micro plastics it puts in the water so I'm ready now to make a change. So, I'm looking for berkey filters and pow! Lots of articles about how they're actually not so great! I've gone down the rabbit hole of available filters for the royal, looks like only Culligan and BBD are certified to get the job done right. I feel like these two filters are very similar, but maybe the BBD gets out more fluoride? What do you think, Culligan or BBD?

Been in my house for about 2 years now and found out that our whole house water filter (one of those big blue Culligan ones in the basement) has been completely bypassed this whole time. The previous owners literally just piped around it instead of replacing the filter cartridge. I only discovered this because my water pressure seemed weird in the kitchen and I went down to check things out. The filter housing is there looking all official but theres literally pvc going straight around it lmao. So we've been drinking straight well water with zero filtration for 2 years. My wife is losing her mind. We specifically asked about the water system during inspection and they said "oh yeah theres a whole house filter dont worry about it" and technically they didnt lie I guess? it EXISTS, it just doesnt DO anything Anyway I called a plumber and he quoted me $850 to fix it properly and install a new filter. Is that reasonable or am I getting ripped off? I had like 2k saved aside from Stаke for fixing up the deck this spring but looks like half of thats going to water filtration now instead submitted by /u/DistributionClear598 to r/homeowners [link] [comments]

I’ve been researching whole house filters for months and the EPA's new PFAS rules just threw a wrench into everything. Figured I'd share what I found since half the "certified" systems out there don't actually meet the new standards. Common problems people face: · Been seeing the same complaints pop up across threads: · Filter cartridges dying way faster than advertised, especially with well water or high sediment areas. Companies love to quote "up to 6 months" but reality is more like 3-4 months for most people. · Flow rate drops that nobody warns you about. Start with great pressure, then you're down to a trickle by month 4. · Proprietary cartridge racket where replacement filters cost almost as much as the whole system. · Installation nightmares because half these companies assume you have perfect plumbing and unlimited space. Filter options I compiled: APEC ROES-50: * Pros: Culligan backing means decent support, passes Fakespot authenticity checks, solid 5-stage RO removes pretty much everything including PFAS * Cons: Wastes 3-4 gallons per gallon filtered, strips all minerals, tank takes up cabinet space, around $200 upfront Epic Pure Pitcher: * Pros: NSF certified for PFAS, no installation needed, decent for apartments, around $40 * Cons: Slow filtering (10+ minutes per pitcher), cartridges every 2-3 months, doesn't handle high-volume households Waterdrop WHF3T-PG: * Pros: Whole house coverage, quick-swap cartridges, handled 100,000 water-hammer cycles in testing, 15 gpm flow works for multiple showers * Cons: NSF/ANSI 372 only (lead-free materials, not PFAS certified), proprietary cartridges run $140/year, still need point-of-use RO for drinking water iSpring WGB32B: * Pros: DIY-friendly installation, standard 4.5" x 20" cartridges you can buy anywhere, around $150, good for chlorine and sediment * Cons: No PFAS certification, cartridge changes every 6-12 months depending on water quality, basic carbon only Aquatru Countertop: * Pros: Best certifications for PFAS removal, no installation, moves with you if you rent * Cons: Ugly as sin, loud during filtering, expensive cartridge replacements, slow output ZeroWater 12-Cup: * Pros: Strong PFAS performance, TDS meter included, around $35 * Cons: Cartridges die fast (some report 2-3 weeks with hard water), acidic taste after filtering, frequent replacement costs add up Current situation Most whole-house carbon systems handle taste, chlorine, and sediment fine but aren't certified for the new PFAS limits. You're probably looking at a two-stage approach: whole house for general filtration, then point-of-use RO or certified pitcher for drinking water. Retest after a few months since the new regulations are ahead of current certification labels. submitted by /u/kjdsaurus to r/BuyItForLife [link] [comments]

Recently moved back to NYC and decided to upgrade my water filter. I bought a Culligan Zero Water filter from Amazon. For the first three days, the water was fantastic. However, it then started to develop a smoky taste, almost like Laphroaig scotch. The tap water itself doesn't have this taste at all. I returned the first unit and got a replacement, but the same issue occurred. I've contacted Culligan, and they've sent two new filters to try. Has anyone else experienced this problem with a Culligan Zero filter, particularly with NYC tap water? I'm curious what might be causing this strange taste. I'll update once I've tried the new filters. submitted by /u/thunderchunky604 to r/water [link] [comments]

We switched to ZeroWater around covid time. Normally, each filter would last 1 month to a 1 month and half. We were buying the box that comes with 6 filters and would last up to 8 months. Recently, we noticed the Culligan ZeroWater change and bought the box with 2 filters and they literally lasted less than a month! A week and half each to be exact... After reading others complain about the same problem here, we are wondering what other brands are good out there. We really loved the old ZeroWater and are very dissapointed with the switch. submitted by /u/Fragrant_Sleep_27 to r/WaterFilters [link] [comments]

I recently purchased a Culligan Zero Water Pitcher and noticed that the TDS is now up to 8. I know that's still within range of what's considered "safe". But at what PPM should I replace the filter? submitted by /u/AgaveLover82 to r/SavageGarden [link] [comments]

Based on other reviews in this subreddit and other reviews online, I got the ZeroWater pitcher from Culligan’s and I cannot recommend it. My building already filters water so the water is decent but was excited for the ZeroWater to get everything out. However the filter life on the pitcher is practically non-existent. In a two person household we were going through a water filter every single week! According to Culligan customer service, that is normal for the nasty taste when the filter “fills up”. Given the price of the filters, even buying in their biggest pack that would be almost $700 a year in just filters for our household! submitted by /u/No-Anywhere-8738 to r/BuyItForLife [link] [comments]

So, I've been using a ZeroWater + TWW setup for a couple years now, but for space reasons, I have a pretty small ZW pitcher, so I end up mixing in the TWW into the kettle in insanely small doses to get to the PPM % I'm after (60ish). Anyway, I just got a new fridge with a ton more space, so was getting set to buy the big 1+ gallon ZW reservoir, but every time I try to go to their site it brings me to Culligan? I'm assuming Culligan bought them? Anyone know any more on this? And, are the Culligan filters as good as ZW or should I look elsewhere (and, if elsewhere, where?). submitted by /u/mattvandyk to r/pourover [link] [comments]

Hi all! I’ve been using the legacy ZeroWater filters for a few months now, and while I really like it, I feel like I go through the filters pretty quickly—my tap water is around 265 PPM, so they don’t last long. I’m in an apartment, so I’m limited to using a pitcher-style system. I recently came across the Clearly Filtered pitcher, and I’m curious to hear from people who have used it. I’ve read that it removes a wider range of contaminants (including PFAS and pharmaceuticals), which sounds great, as I have some health sensitivities, but I’ve also seen people mention that it’s slow to filter, it’s pretty expensive and I don’t really feel like I’ve seen a lot of direct comparisons. However, today, I noticed that Culligan now sells a new line of filters with ZeroWater technology—they claim to remove more than the original ZeroWater filters and now include things like PFAS and pharmaceuticals as well. Has anyone compared these two? • Is the Clearly Filtered pitcher worth the higher cost and slower filtration? • Are the new Culligan/ZeroWater filters actually better than the old ones? • How do the two compare in real-world performance and taste? Any insight or experience would be super appreciated—especially from others in small spaces or with high TDS tap water. Thanks! submitted by /u/Ushldseemeinacr0wn to r/WaterFilters [link] [comments]

We recently had our water tested and except for some aesthetic issues: high Sodium at 249 ppm and high Sulfate at 237 ppm, which are the main contributors to our high TDS at 600 ppm. Link to results: gosimplelab.com/YW5WAD Before my husband agreed to getting an under sink RO, I got a Culligan ZeroWater just to say I tried something else. I was so sure that it wasn’t going to do much for the Sodium and Sulfate, but these results are very surprising. Our tap water has a TDS of 470-490 ppm according to their meter, which is 110-130 ppm lower than the lab test, but it does come pretty close to the sum of the Sodium + Sulfate. Maybe the meter that came is cheaper and doesn’t read everything? The fact that the reading is 0 is very surprising to me. Let’s say their meter is tampered to make their results look better by reading lower than it should. Some of that 470-490 ppm is still Sodium + Sulfate according to the lab results. I am surprised because I am told and have read that Sodium could only be removed through RO and Sulfate through Nanofiltration or Anion Exchange. The water also tastes better, unlike our soapy tasting tap. I am very pleasantly surprised and will keep this until we install the under sink RO. I will also report back with how long the filters last. According to the manual, we will only have 8 gallons or less of 000 TDS water because our initial TDS is above 400, but I am honestly fine with higher TDS as long as the water doesn’t start to smell “fishy” above 006. P.S. Yes, I know TDS is not a measurement of water quality, which is why we had our tested at a lab.l submitted by /u/AeroNoob333 to r/WaterTreatment [link] [comments]
