Do you have to turn off the water supply before changing this filter?

No , twist and pull, some water spilled on the floor but just cleaned it up with a paper towel. Then i reset the filter icon on the fridgerater display. Done easy ..

If you can turn a wrench, you can change the filter. It's easy, but can be a bit messy. You just need to put a bucket underneath to catch the water that spills out of the filter housing.

Not sure what tour question is, but am wondering if you turned off the water supply before installing. I've forgotten this step and had it leak. Once I redid the installation process, it worked quote fine. If that's not the problem, maybe it is a defective filter? Wishing you luck.

Yes. The black tab on the right of the unit pictured flips from vertical to horizontal in order to switch filtered/not.

This is my second tea kettle like this one. I never changed the filter on the first one. I don't see that it's necessary to have the filter.

Yes. It comes with a fitting that connects to the cold water line underneath your sink. The only water that gets filtered is water coming out of the filtrete faucet. No loss in water pressure. No need to run water for a while when you want to drink fresh water. Also easy to install.

We change ours yearly (recommended for a household of 4), but really depends on water usage. I have been told, if your water pressure drops drastically, that is another sign that you need to change filters.

I think it doesn't. My filtration system has the reverse osmosis system embedded in the system so it doesn't need it. I've had this faucet for a long time now and it is excellent. Just in case. Hope this helps!!!!

It must have. You should be able to remove the filter with very little, if any, water coming out, even with the water supply line on. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/whirlpool-water-filter-housing-2186443-ap3085317.html takes you to a video showing how to change the filter housing. I couldn't get to the water lines from the front so had to disconnect/reconnect from the valves on the back. Good luck!

It recommends every 6 months to replace it or if your water pressure slows down .It is just like a fridge filter it just screws on. it can not be cleaned out . I have a shut off just before it to make it easier to change.

It depends on how much of the filter is covered. I change the filter before each time I use it.

Sure you can set your filter pump independent of salt system. Your salt water system should will turn off if it senses your pump is not running. Often I don't user automatic timers on mine. I just turn on both at same time and the salt water keeps it's setting

No. It's an on/off valve. We have it hooked up to our water purifier for drinking water.

Yes, you can turn it off for a short time. It will continue to drip so that your water temp stays constant. You must turn it off with the wall valve when you're done.

Mine was just installed and I suggest a plumber do it unless one is handy with such chores. The manual says to change the filter annually and I find them on the internet for about $12. I don't know if having hard or soft water effects the life of the filter.

There is no "ON/OFF" switch on this filter and the only way to control the water flow is by turning the switch on the faucet adapter On or Off. Yes, if someone forgets to switch the diverter OFF, then water will come out if the sink is turned on, however this is usually not an issue if the unit is near the sink with the spout pointed into the sink. Alternatively, there is another model - the Brondell Cypress water filter system which does have a separate ON/OFF switch. You can see that product here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EEDJSES thanks!

yep, where the device attaches to the faucet is a little knob. the faucet just runs normal until you pull out the knob, then the filter runs. as soon as you turn off the water and the pressure stops, the knob automatically pops off.
