Culligan RC-EZ-1 System comaptible with EZ-3 and EZ-4 filters? It seems like the only difference between the EZ1, EZ3, and EZ4 systems are the filter it comes with (and price of course!). If I were to purchase the EZ1 system, can i just buy the EZ4 filters to go with it afterwards? I am unsure of the level of filtration i will be satisfied with at this point, so it would be nice to know that i have the flexibility to switch at a later point. Thank you!

The EZ-1 filters are mainly for cleaning up the taste of the water, my unit has done wonders for the taste of our water, we have been very happy with it. And YES any of the other EZ filters are compatible with this system, so if you want a higher level of filtration you can just replace your EZ-1 with whatever other EZ filter you want.

I used an in line five year filter that I bought at Ace Hardware. Between the hardware that came with the Brew express and the hardware that came with the in line filter I had all the connectors I needed for the installation. I watched the EZ-1 installation video on YouTube and it looks like it would work quite well. Good Luck!

They work ok, but like the no mess of the ez cup filters best, just dump and no grinds left behind to rinse. I have an ez cup reusable filter and ecobrew and they fit just fine. I make up 5 or 6 at a time and just grab one and pop it in the kuerig

Hello! I bought one of these reusable filters today, as I saw they were available again. If you check back a few times over the next week or so, they come back in stock. They had a big sale on the fountains today, so I am guessing that is why everyone bought these reusable filters today. There were 13 of them around noon today If you just need the carbon, you can get that at any pet store. But if you need the filter itself, I believe this one is only sold on Amazon

It is the same. Well, the Culligan has a Cartridge Life of 6 months, depending upon usage and water conditions. I purchase all from Amazon. Price is best I can find. I use only the Culligan filters in my Whole House Culligan system now. Never again will I use GE (Whirlpool) filters. I installed one in 2008. It apparently had a problem because my house lines became plugged with carbon sediment. What a disaster. Spent a long while flushing the system, cleaning faucet filters, etc. Never have I experienced a problem with Culligan filter RFC-BBSa. Outstanding. Used it for years.

There are several different sizes with different prices. The insides are all the same for the stainless models, just different capacity inside. Go to "berkeyfilters.com" to see all the different sizes. One other thing - there are white and black filters for the top, the black ones are the better ones. There also white plastic filters for the bottom that remove chlorine and heavy metals. Decide what you need, then get what you really want the first time so you don't have to buy it twice.

I believe the difference is the level of filtration. I use the ez4 b/c It filters out more and smaller contaminant particles

Has anyone found the answer? I'm having the same problem and sure hope they aren't discontinuing this great item. I bought mine at Target about a year ago and today went to buy the replacement filters and they no longer sell the units. I haven't been able to find out what filters are compatible with the #04530F.

Keeping ponds or aquriums clear never go cheap on filtration. I just read the specs on this unit and it would be the bare min. If it was me I would step up to the Laguna ClearFlo 3200 kit. Now on the Laguna product I'm very happy with it. We just hooked ours up a week ago and it took three maybe four days and our water is clear as a bell. Very easy to setup and very easy to maintain.

You would need to purchase that seperately. You should have the option of choosing the type of filters that you want with the model at the time of purchase. Which is an important note, since we know that specific filters are required to get the results that you are looking for as an individual.

Hello Mark, I am not sure but in using this product it did not have the heft other filters have. It was a bit flimsy and you may want to use two together for better results. At one time I had bought a case of good pre-filters on ebay but have yet to find that brand again, tho I have not made a a thourough search as yet. Hope this helps.. :)

The entire system is the plastic houseing, the 10 stage filter cardridge itself, and the hoses and faucet. The entire system is usually sold together as one unit, and then you are expected to replace the 10 stage filter cartridge about every year or so. You will find the filter cartridges cost almost about as much as the entire system, which they discount to you for that initial purchase. But again to answer your question, the last time I bought this system, the filter cartridge came with it (was packaged together).

As far as I am aware, the connection system is the same for the entire EZ line; the differences are in the filtration levels of the cartridges.

The EZ 3 filters finer particles & runs water through more filtering materials in the same space, so yes, it runs slower.I've been happier with the EZ4 model. Runs almost as fast as the one & really filters everything. It's larger in size which allows faster flow.

Sorry Arthur...I think you're right! I ordered a spare filter back in June and thought nothing of it. Then, I went to change my filter this morning and the one they sent me was wrong. My old filter has an opening on both ends and the new one does not. Plus, the part number is different. Maybe it's a new design but I'm not putting it in until I find out. Thanks for making me aware of this. I wouldn't put your's in either. Please let me know if you find something out from the company.

I have the EZ 1 cartridge currently. When I replace my filter I will move on up to the EZ 4 just because it filters out more contaminants.
