Does the black finish show water spots? Our water is city water. I'm worried about constantly having to wipe it down.

I am not at home this month so I cannot check to see if there is any black at all on my faucet....I only recall the metal finish...do not understand what u r referring to.

no, the finish is great. we have good well water with a little bit of iron but nothing more and the faucet is great

No, mine isn't black, it's a beautiful bronze color. No problem with spots.

I have chrome finish. I wipe it down because I love the way it looks but I suppose it doesn't matter if you don't.

Yes. In the instructions I received with the filter, it says that when it is first installed and you begin to run water through it, the water will be dark in color, but will lighten up fairly quickly and when it come out clear, it is good to go. I found that to be the case with my filter. The discoloration is caused by the charcoal particles in the filtering material. Not to worry.

You probably need to clean the filter every week until it seems cleaner. It is never completely cleaned but you can see through the water. Hope that helps.

I have little black dots in the upper portion. They seem to stay there and don't harm anything. I really don't know if they-re supposed to be there. I wash them out and they reappear but just a few.

I don't think i understand your question , is the culligan wall mount causing rust /iron issues? It isn't for me , so i don't know what is going on or why the filter would be doing that or the chrome itself shouldn't be. I have clean water coming out of mine and no orange coloring on anything.

I have extremely hard water and have had this faucet for two years now. The place I noticed the beginning of build-up was around the chrome base, but with a weekly wiping regimen, this build-up has disappeared. No build-up noticed at all on the black part of the base.

It is not shiny like the outside. as long as you empty water after use it will stay nice.

We have a water softner due to hard water with iron. There are no hard water spots, but there is some scratching and dulling of finish. Overall pleased with sink. Love the wide sink. We use a plastic dish pan to wash most items, but have the wide sink for large items.

Yes, that could be a issue with your cities water. thank you! Hope that helps!

The black debris yes, specially if you have hard water and add some pinch of salt to get more steam. Never had blue water though.

No I haven't had problems with the water level indicator. I read if that happens it may need to be cleaned but that may not work either.

I've seen this on mine (over a year old) when I use a typical glass cleaner - I believe the cleaner residue is the issue.I generally clean and then finish with simple vinegar/water solution to remove the residue every few months.

Sorry about the late reply. The one i got has an aluminum finish and has been outside for about 6mo through the winter. It has some staining, however, it is set in stone, so it is likely runoff from that.

I haven't had that problem... I believe I'd had this faucet for almost a year now and the finish is still brand new. Sorry you are having that problem. I will pay closer attention to mine now :)

Could be mineral buildup. It happened to mine along the seams at the bottom, but it took took two years rather than two months for it to happen. You might have particularly hard water. We have one of those filters at the sink, so the water is less mineral laden. You'll have to get a cleaning kit from Simplex since just about every other product on the market messes with the tin. I wasn't happy about paying an additional $40, but Simplex customer service told me I'd get more than 20 cleanses out of it. And it worked like a charm.

Angela, When I replaced mine with the filter here, there was no discoloration that I noticed. Maybe the filter's reaction to the water quality you added, but I'm unsure.

It might be chemical deposits from the water or normal staining. Feel with your finger if you can. If it feels rough, it's corrosion.
