Default Culligan RC-EZ-4 replacement water filter cartridge

Last week, we bought a water filtration system, the model RV-EZ-4 (with Culligan RC-EZ-4 replacement water filter cartridge). This is because our house water is limewater which is hard to use as drinking water.

Usually, our limewater often crystallizes as solid material, and easily deposits in any place, for example, in a faucet. I think that much calcium hydroxide crystal from limewater may deposit thickly in the filter replacement cartridge when starting using it. I am very afraid that this precipitation makes the filter cartridge lifetime dramatically shorter. So, I would like your detail information about this problem.

Is there any way to manually remove limewater precipitate in the filtration system? I think that we need to remove them regularly each month, for example, in the filtration system and the filter cartridge. We don't want to replace the cartridge very often simply because of this precipitation. Before, we have experienced that the faucet filter cartridge was blocked very quickly because of this.

Default Re: Culligan RC-EZ-4 replacement water filter cartridge

The system you purchased will not remove or reduce the hardness minerals in you water, however, there is an easy solution. There is an in-line filter which releases a polyphosphate crystal into the water, which bonds with the hardness mineral. This does not remove the hardness minerals, but it changes the molecular structure so that the hardness minerals cannot bond with each other and to other things like your plumbing. This should fix your problem. Here is a link to such a filter: Residential Reverse Osmosis Tanks and RO Bladder Accumulator Metal Tanks This one is designed with female quick connect fittings just like your Culligan EZ-4. To install this, you would simply cut the water line at a location before the EZ-4 filter, and attach the water lines to both ends of the Omnipure filter cartridge. This will then affect the water before it gets to your new filter system.

Thank you,
