Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Culligan OP-1 Designer Water Pitcher with Integrated Filter

Customer Review: Bad, Bad, Bad...go with Brita.
Summary: 1 Stars

I'd been a longtime user of the Brita pitcher, and was very satisfied with the results. Water tasted much better, and Kool-Aid was even more healthy without all the crap and bad afterstate of the water. I moved from the place I was and forgot the pitcher, and now I'm in a small studio and needed another filter pitcher. Unfortunately, it hurt me paying $40 for the Brita the first time, and I didn't want to repeat it. I saw this Culligan for sale down at Albertsons, they wanted $20 for it. Well, you get what you pay for.

First off, its good points. Its slim design is great when you have a small or minimum room fridge. The filter is easy to load. There's a pour spout on top that keeps particles from getting in, and there's a small switch at the very top where you can set the month in which to replace it.

Now, the bad.

The instructions say to soak the filter for 15 minutes (to loosen any stray carbon). My first complaint is that Brita does not have this requirement. My second complaint is that it doesn't work. I soaked mine for 2 hours, then when I ran water through it, I still saw particles. This is from already clear water fresh from a bottle. So it came from the filter. I shook the filter, thinking maybe I could dislodge the rest of it. I was shaking for 30 minutes and particles still came out. Bad. And of course, without the filter, it defeats the whole purpose of having the pitcher. You get what you pay for sometimes. It's sad that we Americans have to pay almost 100% more in order to get a quality product, instead of our business just making quality and charging a fair price. C'est la vie. Brita Mae, I've learned my lesson, I'm coming home.
