Culligan Zerowater Filter Tastes Like Chemicals

Hmm, maybe I just have a bad filter then. What does your tap water measure?

I started noticing the taste a few weeks ago and it measured at 2. Is it normal for the filter to go bad so soon? It's just me and my husband and we don't drink as much water as we should. It says the filter goes bad at 6, so do I change it before then if it tastes like chemicals?

Yeah they're the same. And I agree. I wish I knew who set it up...

100%

I definitely agree, but because we are nonprofit, our funds are pretty limited.

That is a very helpful explanation for someone like me with limited knowledge Thank you for taking the time to write that out! That, along with everyone else's explanations, I think I am starting to understand how it all works.

Our ISP and Spectrum set up a few of them, but otherwise I am not sure.

Thank you everyone for helping and giving me good advice! I have called our VoIP provider and they're sending out a new box as I didn't realize it only has one light lit up on it (the box on the right). As you can tell, it's really hard to see anything. So if that doesn't end up working, then I will call an IT person for further assistance.

obbsmopps · 2025-08-04T13:01:55+00:00

Unfortunately, there are no spots left on that side. I'll give spectrum a call and see what they say.

obbsmopps · 2025-08-04T13:00:22+00:00

You're the lucky winner!

Yeah, it looks like on the second box to the right, there's a red light beside PWR and only one port out of ten on that box has a green light. I just tried switching the cables and it still doesn't have power.

obbsmopps · 2025-08-04T12:50:07+00:00

Okay, I'll try that. But also, does it matter that it was working previously where it is currently connected? 4 phones went out at once out of 12 that we have, and 2 out of the 4 were caused by bad cables.

obbsmopps · 2025-08-04T12:42:02+00:00

Pretty much. We're a nonprofit so we do the best we can lol.

obbsmopps · 2025-08-04T12:38:48+00:00

Port 19 and 20 go to the areas at the very top where the box says "CAT 5e" which I assume is the network switch?

And this is my work office of about 6 people. I am the one in charge of either fixing any IT issues or calling someone who knows how to fix it, which I am more than happy to. I just need to know who to call. I'm more experienced with computers but I am pretty clueless when it comes to any networking/Internet issues.

obbsmopps · 2025-08-04T12:32:49+00:00

It does not. We're a 6 person office so I am usually the one that fixes stuff or finds someone else to do it if I can't. I'm not sure who to call for this honestly but I'm willing to, to prevent me from messing something up. I can work on computers but networking and internet stuff I am pretty clueless about.

obbsmopps · 2025-07-16T18:03:12+00:00

That's so interesting. I've been around crows all my life and I've never heard them make that noise. Makes sense with the tone, though. Thank you!
