Culligan HF-360 Valve in Head 3/4-Inch Whole House Sediment Water Filter

From Culligan

The Culligan whole house, inline and undersink sediment water filter extends life of washing machines, water heaters and other household appliances. Reduces dirt, sand and silt, rust particles, scale particles. The filter has a patented shut-off valve in cap for easy cartridge replacement. The Valve-in-Head (VIH) patented technology allows for easy water filter cartridge replacement .Valve-in-Head involves a simple half-turn of the shut-off valve in the cap to shut off the water supply when changing a water filter. Quick and easy installation. Clear housing construction. Includes a 3/4 inch FIP outlet and inlet, fittings not included. A filter housing wrench is included. The filter comes with a 5 year warranty.

I bought this 6 years ago. It’s a standard design that has been used for maybe 40 years in labs to filter tap water for purity reasons. The new shut off valve in the top is a good idea. I use it under the sink instead of whole-house. The $5 carbon filter has to be changed about once every 6 months before the bad taste of tap water starts to come through again. If you haven’t installed a faucet before, think twice before installing this under the sink. Even with experience it took me all day finding parts, going back to the store to get a flaring tool, cutting pipe, and fixing leaks. Open end wrenches for each nut was much better than my best adjustable wrench which was too thick to get in place.

I was lucky enough to already have one of these installed in the house I bought in 2004. Just the thing for a well water system. The drinking water gets further refined by a reverse osmosis filter, but no sediment in any of the water in the house.
