Is this supposed to take forever to refrigerate to the proper temperature? It takes ages to go from 60 degrees to 54. I tried cleaning the filter.

First, I keep mine at 63 for red wine, but when I lower the temp, it goes down pretty quickly. It is not a refrigerator, but an air cooler, it does not have a compressor.I

I can tell you from experience that it's extremely slow to adjust to changes in temperature when going downwards. To cool it down initially from room temperature to 55 for red wine took almost a full day. Occasionally we'll move it down to 45 if we decide to store some white wines, but we've learned to turn it down way ahead of time to allow it to adjust first.

I have had this particular unit since this summer. It has been consistent and reliable in keeping a constant humidity. However, periodically the "dirty filter" light will come on, so I will then clean it. I am not sure if the filter is not cleaned for an extended time, if it will shut=off?

Sorry, I can't help with this. I returned the item due to poor performance and didn't have it long enough to have to clean the filter. Good luck.

Mine doesn't get mold or mildew, doesn't smell or taste bad. I look it over when I refill it with water to ensure there isn't any mold or other problems developing. I clean it every 6 months by washing the plastic and wiping the filters off with clean paper towels and I change the filters yearly. The water tastes great and this clean and change plan has worked good for me. I did have a problem with the float that screws into the bottom of the tank and shuts off the water from the tank to the cooler when the cooler is full. It wasn't sealing and allowed the cooler to overfill and leak out onto the floor. Mine doesn't get mold or mildew, doesn't smell or taste bad.

Mine takes FOREVER. I get about a gallon per day and have been using it regularly for a couple months now. I know something must be wrong, but I don't know what.

My home is 42 years old. I live in a warm climate year round, so twice a year is all I need to keep the filter clean. I only use my A/C when the indoor temp is above 80, and the heater when the indoor temp is below 60, so my HVAC system does not get a lot of use.

I haven't experienced this problem yet...be sure to rinse the filter as instructed prior to placing it in place; and be sure you haven't installed it backwards...not much help--I know, but all I can think of.

i do not have that problem. its only for cold water. my problem with this filter is, it don't last the way it used to to about 4 to 6 months. in my case, the last few filters lasted only about 6 to 8 weeks and the flow becomes very slow and restricted inspite of having the same source of city water.

Filter needs to soak up water for about 30 minutes. After that, it should be fine. If not, ensure that you have the correct filter.

Could it be that it expires if you don't begin to use it for five years? The filters are fabulous, and will last up to 6 months if your water is normal. Ours is hard and full of rust, and it works for about 2 on average. Totally worth the 10 dollars.

They're referring to 100 degree water. The water in the filter is very unlikely to actually reach 100 degrees F, especially if you run it even a little bit (since it's coming out of the ground tens of degrees colder).

No. Something may be wrong. Is the plastic it come with off completely? check inside. Make sure the filter is in correctly.

We've had our filter for 10 weeks, still on same filter - and just tested it - oops, it needs changing. It measured 136, our tap water is cleaner at only 55, so it must start discharging the filtered "stuff" into the clean water, and starts to taste really bad, sort of metallic tasting.

i am serious when i advise the following: the rubber o rings on end may need a little lubrication... wet them and really push the filter in and turn. if ya have to use some pliers and gently turn to twist. ive changed many filters and as long as filter is correct for the refrig follow what i suggest.

Good question . I'm guessing that Culligan has changed the filter element/component for some reason . Mine is the same way and becomes progressively slower after about two weeks of use despite the fact that I replace the filter every thirty days . I presume it's because it is filtering and whatever is being filtered out is responsible for clogging the filter . The filter looks to be the same as previous filters but , as you pointed out , the slow flow has an unacceptable flow rate .I'll be looking for another filtering assembly next month .

I have only used it for about 6 weeks. Every other week I took out the filter and put it in a diluted vinegar solution over night. I hope that the filter will be cleaned and lasts a little longer.

You need to rinse the charcoal filter in cold water before you add it to the tank. It's totally normal.
