PUR 3-Stage Horizontal Water Filtration Faucet Mount Chrome FM-9400B

I am very happy with the Pur faucet filter. I had a Culligan FM-15A for a year, and after much research, I decided to switch. Here is why.The Culligan water flow through the filter is very very slow. The Pur is much faster- may even be twice as fast. They both have about the same depth off the faucet. The Pur can be removed by pushing the two white buttons near the faucet and then easily reattaches. So if you need to fill a planter watering can or something that doesn't fit in the sink with the filter on, it is so convenient. The Culligan must be unscrewed. In the year I used the Culligan I never unscrewed it, just cursed at it.The Culligan does not have any source to tell you when you need to change the filter. What's the sense of having a filter? The Pur has a light on it that is supposed to change color when it needs to be changed. I can't tell you if it works yet because I just bought it, but it is presently blinking green which is what it is supposed to do.The Culligan only filters out a few contaminants as compared to the Pur. I am not going to get into the various ones because I am not a scientist. However, I don't want to drink pharmaceuticals, cysts, industrial chemicals, metals, pesticides, lead and mercury. The Culligan does not match up to this list. Especially the mercury, cysts and pharmaceuticals.The Culligan claims to filter 200 gallons per filter (FOR 2 months) and the Pur 100 gallons per filter (UP TO 3 months). It makes sense to me that if I am getting cleaner water with the Pur, it will need changing more often. However, I think we are only talking about a month difference. You also have to consider how many people in your household or if you use a lot of water.I have uploaded a photo of the two filter system units so you can compare.I did have some frustration unscrewing the cover off the Pur because the instructions, nor their website, tell you how to unscrew it. COUNTERCLOCKWISE. It was very tight when I took it out of the box and I wasn't sure if I was unscrewing or pulling it off. However, with some gentle persistence I figured it out.As of this review the Culligan was priced at 22.99 (FM-15A) and the Pur was priced at 27.49 (FM 9400B Chrome). Replacement filter for Culligan is 10.77 for one and the Pur is 23.48 for 3 pack. You also get a coupon for $2.00 in the Pur box good for about a year towards the multi-pack. ( I can't tell you if you can use this on Amazon- my guess is no but someone else may know)One other observation: I noticed that under the Culligan filter which is open on the bottom of the housing gets black mold on it and you wouldn't notice this until you change it. I was grossed out about it when I changed the filter.The leaking issue that reviewers are complaining of: mine has not leaked yet however I haven't had it that long. Some reviewers said that the company will send you a better connection and it has worked. This is why I don't worry about it.

SECOND UPDATE (6/13/2016): Still going strong as of today! This is a long lasting product with the right aerator, which can now be ordered for free from the Proctor & Gamble website.UPDATE (12/6/2014): It's been nearly 3 years now since I purchased this filter and it's still going strong! No leaks and the filter stays on the faucet securely at all times. Ever since I called P&G to ask them for a metal aerator replacement as I describe in the original review below, I've had zero issues. Product was awful at first with the original aerator included, but excellent with the metal one.--------------------------------------Original Review---------------------------------This product is great but not out of the box. The negative reviews for this product are fair but it's only because the aerator provided in the box breaks pretty quickly. I've used many other water filtration systems in my kitchen and bathroom and they have always come with a metal aerator but for whatever reason Proctor & Gamble decided to use a plastic aerator with this product. I suppose it was to save money but it's really quite a poor decision on their part because it makes customers think the entire product is defective when really it's just the aerator that's a problem. It's not even the entire aerator that's the problem, rather it's just the top part of the aerator that connects to the faucet with plastic inner threading that's the problem. The bottom part of the aerator that connects to the filter itself is just fine and works well (it's actually this bottom part that makes the installation such a breeze since it just snaps on to the filter). Anyway, the plastic aerator that came with the product worked for about a month but then two things started happening. 1) It started leaking and 2) the entire filter would just disconnect all of a sudden. It seemed as though the plastic threading on the inner walls of the aerator simply began failing to grip the faucet well. So, as soon as I would turn on the water, the little bit of pressure that created would be too much for the filter and it would just drop to the sink.Well, because the product was still under warranty I called Proctor & Gamble and explained the problem. They immediately sent me a replacement for the aerator. The replacement they sent me was perfect; it should be the aerator that actually comes with the product. It has a metal top part and a plastic bottom part. The metal top part eliminates the problem of the threading becoming loose. As soon as I put the new aerator on, the leaking stopped entirely and the filter stayed securely in place at all times. The bottom part of the aerator remains plastic, allowing for easy snap-on installation or removal of the filter. It's really the perfect aerator and I bet the vast majority of the negative reviews would go away if only P&G would supply this aerator with their product rather than the cheap one that comes in the box.

No requiere instalación y se coloca fácilmente, promete ser una buena alternativa en lugar de comprar garrafones de agua. Una vez instalado el flujo de agua es algo débil, llegar una jarra de 2 litros toma algunos minutos.

Works fine so far and I love it. The light never came on but I'm okay with it...as long as it filters.

Good and easy to install although I would prefer the vertical one I think. It takes up less space in the sink.

Buen producto aunque para México no es muy útil ya que ninguno de los adaptadores encajaron con la toma del lavatrastes

Seems to take up less space and is as easy to install as the upright version.
