Water Softeners and Air Filtration Systems - filtered water pressure tank question

Hello all-

I have a Culligan under-sink, single-cartridge filter that runs a cold water faucet solely for drinking water.

The pressure from the faucet is quite low, and I was wondering if/how I can increase it by adding a small (2-5 gal) pressure tank similar to this one from Lowes (http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=160659-48324-LPT-5&lpage=none)

I'm on city water and I put the filter in because of the strong chlorine odor.

I'm open to some other suggestions as well (as long as they don't cost a boat-load of money :D )

Thanks!
Joe

change the filter!!!.........adding a holding tank is not gonna work:thumbdn: .....that would cut your flow down so much you wouldn't be able to rinse your plates!

I can do that, but the system has only been in for about a month. I can't imagine that the filter has become that bad in that short a time.

EZ way to tell, remove the cartridge and leave the filter housing empty. If the faucet output increases then the filter is plugged.

Is this filter being fed by a normal cold water supply with normal house pressure?

Is this filter feeding a "faucet" capable of the flow rate of the house pressure? If you're using an RO faucet style I don't think it will flow the volume you're looking for. I may be wrong.

Give us all the info ... post a link (or pics) to your filter set-up AND the faucet you're using.

Again "Ya get what ya pay for." The Culligan water filter is a toy. You would be much better off with a cheap, run-of-the-mill filtering pitcher. Culligan pays all of their rent with that "piece of crap" carbon filtering system of theirs. Wise Up America! The French-owned Culligan company is out to steal your money.

Culligan is not French owned. A little updating needed there.
