I continuously buy these for our home filtration unit. We have private well water that has a ton of iron in it. Amazon has one of the best prices on this particular filter that I've found and I'm always very pleased with shipping and speed of arrival. Probably due to how much iron I have in my water but this filter never quite lasts as long as it is rated for. I usually change it about every 5-6 weeks when they are rated for around 12. I change it more frequently or I start to see very small amount of residue begin to build of in the toilet and shower heads. As long and they are changed to the month(ish) range I'm really pleased with their performance and will continue buying and using them for my home.

I can't say I noticed much difference in my water after replacing the 50 micron filter with this one because I don't have a big problem with sediment. But I am pleased that the flow rate in the house doesn't seem any different. It's been installed about 2 months now. I expect it won't last as long as the 50 version but if my water is cleaner then it's worth it.
UPDATE Sept. 17, 2010
I learned something the hard way -- CHANGE THE FILTER REGULARLY! I was waiting for the flow rate to go down as a sign to change this filter but it never decreased. Then a month or two ago I noticed the water starting to smell and it really got pretty bad. I'm on a well so wasn't sure if it was the ground water changing but then thought of the filter. Oh my gosh, it was gross. Black & slimy & stinky and the paper had torn so the water was flowing right through with no filtering, hence no pressure loss.This was about 6 months use on a well (no chlorine) which was way way too long at it turned out. I'd say the filter should be changed every 2 months.

Nice filter. I was having problems with the blue top filters not working at all, I determined they were a few millimeters too short, allowing the water to bypass the media all together. These have more rubber at the ends and I'm getting a better seal, capturing much more rust. Plus, they are cheaper than Home Depot and fit my GE housing.

Multiple water main breaks and living in a trailer has resulted in my having to use the Culligan heavy duty filter. With this filter I don't have to remove the faucet strainers. It does the job simply and easily. I even travel the U.S and Canada with the canister attached to my hoses.
