I have seen complaints about filter cracking, did anyone with the problem had it hooked to hot water? I just want to see if it's an install mistake

Generally these filters are intended for cold.water only. I believe this is stated in the specifics or instructions. If you want your hot faucet water filtered need to filter.it before the heating process. For some reason hot water damages the filter unit.I have found this filter to have terrific longevity and value. It is also quick to replace e.

So I have retired from reviewing (and most all else in life). I have a better excuse for being answerless: I haven't installed the unit. So sorry. Best you go to their online site or call toask the manufacturer. Such questions also get spiffs of free filter(s). Most all major manufacturers life to hear from customers: You may get on a list of bargains on replacement filters, too. rclarknv

Clean your hot water heater to remove debris that settles to tank bottom..then install filter on cold water inlet to tank..or..install it on incoming service line. Hope this helps, I don't think this plastic is OK with hot water and pressure over time. Check with Culligan specs.

I haven't encountered this problem. The problem I have occasionally is, at some time after installation I find air has somehow gotten into the line and causes a terrible rattle and noise. I have been able to get rid of the problem by disconnecting and reinstalling the filters. Sorry this doesn't answer you question. Does it always happen? Maybe there is something floating around that blocks the flow when you open turn it on too fast.

No problems with mine. To save money, I even just went to a hardware store and got a furnace filter and cut it to size for about $7.50. Saved about $20.00

I've had this happen when someone runs hot water through the filter (which the instructions say not to do). Warm seems to be ok, but occasionally a guest will try to fill our kettle with hot water though the filter. It's also happened when debris blocked the small opening of the valve after the water main was turned off and back on for repairs. You can remove the fixture from the tap and clean the valve out by running water through it the opposite way.

I have not had any problems with mine but I use a filtered water! Suggest you try that first!

Had no problems with mine. You may not have twisted the filters back into their fully seated positions.

Mine is very touchy about set up - gaskets placed very precisely or it will leak, tiniest bit of air left in filter makes it noisy. I frequently have to do it a second time to get it all right - granted part of that is my very limited attention span when doing it combined with the fact that I only tear this filter down about 4x each year for cleaning and I don't always remember all of it's little quirks. (Yes, I know it says more often but I'm running it on a tank with a small bioload). However, I've had this filter for about 15 years now and the only thing I've had to replace is gaskets and a clip that holds on the inflow pipe. I think it does an awesome job, but it can have it's quirks. Mine is very touchy about set up - gaskets placed very precisely or it will leak, tiniest bit of air left in filter makes it noisy.

Call the company and ask for them to repair it. They will charge you money, but it's worth it, because it covers shipping and when you receive your unit back, they insert a new filter. So consider the price to fix it, the price of a new filter. Actually, you never know. They may not charge you to fix it....email/call and find out!

My first question would be if you primed it according to the instructions that should have come with it (I think they're on the box)? If not, do so. If yes, something I've done to prolong the use of mine is to gently scrub the filters with a clean wet dish cloth. I'm assuming your filtering tap water, but if your filtering dirty water then flow can diminish quicker.

I have not run in to this problem with my faucet. It does take a while for the hot water to push all the cold water through thats been sitting in the pipes. However a few minutes does seem excessive. It's been several years since I installed this faucet and have never changed the cartridge or had any problems.

Randy, the same thing happened to me last year. It ended up being that the little nipple which the filter depresses against when screwed on had somehow chipped off. I ended up having to replace the entire filter assembly (which was quite easy to do).

I had no problems with the alignment when reinstalling the filter. I did however have a problem with DE coming out into the pool after bumping the filter down. This is a problem not yet resolved.

Not sure what tour question is, but am wondering if you turned off the water supply before installing. I've forgotten this step and had it leak. Once I redid the installation process, it worked quote fine. If that's not the problem, maybe it is a defective filter? Wishing you luck.

We've had ours for about a year. No issues yet, just need to change the filter.
