One part of our whole house water filter system is the Culligan 10" x 4.5" water filter. I actually have two of them installed in line after the iSpring filters. These filters remove mainly rust from the well water coming into our house. I change them once a month.
This video is my opinion of the Culligan filters and the process for changing the filter cartridge and the steps involved.

Bro I never had a problem like you at removing the filter. You're tightening them way to tight, you only hand tighten the filter then with a quarter turn or so to snug it up with the wrench. Over tightening the filter will cause you to have issue's with the o-ring such as you see in this video, I've been using the same o-ring for over five years with no leaks or deformities. It is a good idea to have a spare o-ring on hand encase you do have issue's. The grease that you use is a silicon grease, you pick it up in the pluming section of a hardware store of your choice.
Since i've been following your advice of not over-tightening, i haven't had the problem anymore. Thanks.
Just crack open a faucet After supply is shut off.. that's his issue with getting it loose.. maybe you tight as well who knows
A suggestion a saw on another video was to place a piece vertically across the top of the housing down to the housing. Score the tape in the middle. When you reinstall the housing you can line the tape up to ensure you're not over tightening. You could probably do this with a marker as well. Not sure if it's fool proof but it can guide you when tightening the housing.
Yes, we had a similar problem with the tightening of filter covers. Once we hand tightened them it was much better. Good call, @Gary Young.
Really appreciate you showing EVERYTHING and going back to add additional clarifying comments. This video and your longer video showing the entire job helped me greatly.

I love that you put time stamps. Thank you!
Thanks so much! This helped out so much and I installed my culligan system today with no problem. I really appreciate the help.
Hey, the filter has bypass. You don't need to turn all of valves off. Just turn water filter top blue handle to close direction. Then bush the red button to release the pressure. next is to take body off. Without bypass of filter, its much cheaper. I find menards sell the most lower price of water filter at $58 with bypass and clear body.
I inherited the Culligan 360. After watching various videos on water filter replacement, it seems that many systems work in a similar way. Watching your video, I noticed that you shut off the water to the house and also said something about the "bypass." For newcomers to water filter replacement, it would be so helpful if you explained what a bypass is, what it does. More women than men now own their own homes. I've been in that club for 20 years but water filtration is new to me. Help! Before you said, "Okay, the water is back on," I think you also switched the bypass back on without mentioning it?? I love learning more about doing my own home improvement but I am aware of my limitations. Changing a water filtr does not scare me if I have clear instructions. You are good at this RUclips stuff. Just verbalize every step. Talk to women, too. We learn fast. Thank you so much!
Whenever i have to change a filter, i can open the bypass pipe, and still have water to the house. The bypass is a pipe with a valve that skips all the filters.
Here's Richard from Ask This Old House, doing a better job at explaining it than i can : ruclips.net/video/QLm89HA4EFU/видео.html
Never cease to amaze! Always informative!!!👍🏾
I have a 1 Colligan filter WH-HD200-C going to add another1 next to it . I am on well . use same filters you have. Thanks great job
You are definitely over tightening the housing. Snug by hand only. If it leaks, just slight pressure with the wrench. Replace o ring every other filter change.
Yes, i agree. Someone wrote a similar comment and since i've stopped tightening down the housing so much, i haven't had the issue with the o-ring.
That's not a bypass valve on the tops of the filter housing where the blow off valve is? And if you shut off the side where water comes in but not the house side and crack open a faucet it will relieve the pressure making the filter housing easier to open.
At the top of the Culligan HD200-C (the one in this video) DOES have a bypass setting so you can replace the filter.
Hey, I really like your setup. I'm in the works to switch over to something like it. I was wondering where you buy the Culligan filters from in bulk? I know this video is from 2019, so things have probably changed but figured it didn't hurt to ask.
I don't see the exact posting, but they were these: amzn.to/3ypHWnD
But they were something like a 12 pack for $7 each
I am using two of these to replace my ap917 and ap910 filters, the 5 micron filters are 300 a pair and last a few months. these you have are much cheaper and you can monitor the dirt from the clear base. thanks...
Thanks for the instructional video. It helped.
Should I have two or one would’ve been enough thanks great video
Depending on how bad the water is....1 is probably fine.
Where is the 20-micron filter? Can't find it in your links?
Make sure to get a brand so that generic filters work so that you can buy in bulk and save money
I just installed one myself. Magnesium in our well. I have a soft water tank. But the well water is really bad. So I put a filter. Pre-. filter to house. The diverted Handel a pain. But I put TriFlow on the diverted. Turns much easier. Then I don't do anything. Unless I have Triflow.
The set up you got is cool
Except he didn't need the middle bypass because each large filter has one and the spin downs don't really need one
hey man, you'd have much less water spilling all over if you closed the valve on top of the filter too... then the water coming from the spin down filters won't flow down when you pop the filter canister off.
Can I get a list of parts you used to set up this system?

Use Silicone grease on o-rings only. other types of grease makes rubber swell and expand.
Ya every time i change a filter i put this grease on the O-ring. amzn.to/2UlryC8
Not sure it is silicone grease though. Here's one of the comments down at the bottom:
Q: What is the lybe made from, silicone, or what...?
A: It appears to me to be silicone, but the manufacturer (Haynes) only describes it as: “This sanitary lubricant is highly resistant to separation or bleed. It will not dry or gum on your equipment. This lubricant is NSF rated H1, Kosher Certified, Halal Certified, and the ingredients are FDA approved.”
What about the battery it takes . How often you got change it? You know cost of 1?
I never installed any battery. I think it's just something that's timed to flash after a few months??
My water has so much rust/iron in it that i change it every month. It's nice that the casing is clear, i can visually see when the filter is bad and needs to be changed.
@@DaveWirth Just got the filter I see your saying about lubrication . Were buy the lube and do you have the stock number for O-rings ? Thanks for your help.
@@allenletizia321 Here's the food grade lubricant: amzn.to/2r32ZPo
I THINK ???? these are the right O-rings: amzn.to/2NZGeoB
I know this is the brand i bought, and i know i bought a 3 pack. But i'm not 100% sure on the size. I thought it was 4.125" but i'm not sure. But i knew i bought them in bulk because they were cheaper.
If you can change the filter without removing the O-ring, you're good. Sometimes the O-ring pops out and you can't get it back in because it's expanded in size. That's when i change it.
Good work.. If you want to add Osmosis filter, where you install? I will try do same in my house in Panamá.
You might be able to extend the life of your filters by back washing.
Which one is better or work best on water softener. Instant or storage geyser
My townhouse has a covered front porch where PVC pipes hosted a water softener. We intend to place a screen to shade the Culligan WH filters from the Florida sun. We have a rough stucco exterior. Is it best to attach the Culligan WH filters to a board and then attach the board to the wall? I cannot imagine PVC fittings surviving the twisting and jostling involved in removing and replacing these canisters to change out filters without really securing these WH filters really steady to the wall.
They definitely need to be screwed or bolted to a wall. (drywall screws are not enough) Not sure about how well stucco will hold.
And yes, to remove the filter you do put quite a bit of torque to tighten the canister.
I decided to use the board, and happy i did, it allows me to attach anywhere and not need to drill into the concrete blocks.
@@DaveWirth Wow, Dave, how did you turn those blue handles? I had to return both the 4.5 and 2.5 canisters that I ordered because "working" the handles 15 times to loosen them up before installation--as directed by the instructions--was impossible. My hand was seriously injured trying. One week later and I still can't hold a cup of coffee in that hand. I went with the Culligan GXWH40L instead.
@@mavirek I never turned the blue handles. I tried a couple times, but thought "this plastic is going to break before this thing turns"
So i just leave them open and use the butterfly valves i installed on the pipe to turn the water off.
Where can you buy in bulk?
I'm having trouble finding these filters in bulk on Amazon. Could you provide a link? I'm hoping to build a similar setup.
Not bulk, but link in description for individual
Nice video. Do you filter before or after your pressure tank? Also I didn't see the link to your blog on this video. I would like to know more details like what make of pressure gauges did you use?
2 Pictures: imgur.com/a/E8c7eRB
After the pressure tank. The pipe comes in from outside through the foundation then almost immediately tee's down to the pressure tank with big 1" galvanized pipe. Then 2 tee's to the sprinkler system and outside spigots. Then it tee's into the water softner and to the rest of the house. I have the filters right before the softner.
@@DaveWirth Thanks Dave!
Great update 🍻
Were did u get the box of Filter... Where did you order the filters from thanks
amzn.to/34ZqZES
They used to sell 20 micron filters, now they just have 5 and 1 micron. Still a pretty good deal for these.
Do you by any chance know whether or not this product contains lead. I went on Amazon and it said it was tested for low lead. Maybe that's the standard of testing and it doesn't have a lead.
Where do you get O rings?
I only have one filter in my setup, instead of two. So how to know what micron size to go with? Also, aren't the accordion style filters better because they have more surface area on the filter? And do you have an Amazon link for the type of grease you use for the O-ring? Thanks!
I would go with the smallest micron filter you can .... until you notice a decrease in water pressure.
Maybe start with a 20, then 10, then 5, then 1
And not sure about the accordion filters, but i know the solid filters are cheaper.
Here's the grease i use: amzn.to/3WeuNMV
I use a 5 micron and a case or a box wasn't to expensive at a water fiilter site vs amazon.
I had a Cullifan water filter under the sink it came out white stuff. Anyone know why please I neeed help
"really stuck on there with all the pressure," but you bled the pressure off! The canisters are just way too tight. With the food grade grease on the o-ring, the can should easily come off by hand, and only need to snug it up by hand. The wrench is only needed if it the canister is stuck. Only need a little grease; on your finger and spread it around. Watch out with that integrated bypass valve. It is possible to rotate it a FULL 180 degrees and REVERSE the flow in the filter; water will ooz out from the center of the filter if the valve is backwards. This is a design flaw. There should have been stops on the valve so it would NOT be possible to reverse the flow through the filter. FYI Culligan KNOWS about this!
HI. Where can I buy a case of the 5 micron filters. I cant find it on Amazon or anywhere else
This is the brand i buy from Amazon. They are pretty cheap at around $10 per filter: amzn.to/3ajyLZU
If you buy the 12 pack i think they are around $7 per filter.
One thing you don't mention is the GPM flow rate! Subjective comments about the filter are of no value. This is an 8GPM filter, but of course you are derating the system with that reduced size PEX.
Is there any special trick in turning the top blue valve to the off position? I can't get mine to budge, and I don't want to pull so hard on it that something breaks.
I'm the same as you. I tried turning them a few times, thought the plastic was going to break, and stopped. So no, i've never shut them either.
Use the opposite end of the filter wrench for leverage.
Mine still won’t budge and I am also afraid I might break the plastic if I use too much leverage.
Name of lube?
I bought this: amzn.to/3NZlQjb
Haynes Lubri-Film Tube 1 - 1oz. Tube
But i think any food grade lubricant will work
Can you list the brand name of of the replacement cartridge
Thanks
The ones i used to buy - they don't make anymore. They were $7 per filter. Now i buy something similar to this, which are around $10 each: amzn.to/3mOTqwy
5 water filter system UV water filter system
I just 4 CULLIGAN WH-HD200-C water filters. What different filters do you suggest getting? Also, what else do you suggest that I get?
Since i have to change at least 1 filter per month, i buy the cheapest ones i can find. Usually around $7 per filter. They used to sell these in 20 micron, but i can't find them any more, but these are the 5 micron version: amzn.to/3hkETEl
Ive been searching for a high quality 10" x 2.5" filter that takes all the chemicals out. We are spending a small fortune on bottled water here in Southwestern Pennsylvania. We are on a well and don't drink the water on account of a sediment & slight petroleum smell. I have the system, and the pleated cartridge filters....but to us it's damn near useless other than removing sediment. "Still smells"
#wannadrinkmywater
Sounds like you have really bad water. I know for rotten egg smells people use an activated carbon filter. I use the 4 filters in this video to remove the rust/iron. Then Reverse Osmosis filters at the sink to remove Arsenic and be able to drink our water. An RO filter removes everything i think.
4 water filters whole house
Avacado update?
Do you still recommend this water filter?
Ya the filter is doing great. No leaks, and i still like the clear plastic to see the condition of the filter. The only bad thing is that i've still had to change the filters ever month. Nothing against the filter itself, more about my bad water. I just can see myself getting really fed-up with changing the filters every month and looking for another solution....
@@DaveWirth Dave-All considered now with what you know, which whole house system would you recommend for well water source with no particular contaminant problem? Thank you.
@@DaveWirth if your flow doesn't slow down don't change the 20 micron every month just because of color.. if it gets the 5 clogged or flow slows too much then change it..I think maybe you're wasting money doing it monthly
Can you like to extra o-rings?
There's different "brands" on amazon, but these a 1 type: amzn.to/3Af5cpt
damn,,this system is to get people buy the filters LOL!!!!
Can you spend me the drawing
