I am having the same problem. I don't know what it is or how to stop it. I thought maybe I didn't let it run long enough after I installed it, but with continued use, it's still happening.

sounds like the motor is crapping out. i used this thing for a short time and didnt like it and went back to old faithful "whisper 60s", they last forever, work great, are mostly quiet, gotta pull em apart and clean up good every once and a while but they really are the best hang on filters u can get. ive been in saltwater forever and have used EVERYTHING you can imagine, stick with whispers..

if you know how to open it up so that you can see the cell just lift it out along with the other filters if this model has some, wash the filters. and also wash the cell itself since its mostly stainless steel it wont rust. let all dry overnight or dry it off with compressed air(air compressor air blower type) and put it back together and do that reset and that should do it.

Yeah, I noticed it. At first I thought the actual filter was leaking, but when I closely examined it, it was leaking slowly out of the faucet adapter that the filter assembly clips on to, and then trickling down to the filter area and dripping. I've switched to a different brand of faucet filters because of the leaking and sagging of this filter recently.

It is supossed to be out or low on water but mine is also showing F. I think I need to change the filter before it will go away but I am not sure.

I saw posted somewhere that a different manufacturer's device automatically is set to do this after a certain amount of water has flowed through it. Simply removing and then reseating the filter MIGHT fix the issue, although I can't guarantee it will be the same for this device.

I had a similar issue in a minor way with my first one. It stopped very soon. I figured it was just minerals that weren't secure. No big deal. The minerals are what alkalinizes the water. It's either just a minor flaw in the construction of the filter or some minerals got in there that were too small for it.

This is not usual from my experience. You might have a defective unit. Or (I'm speculating) do you have a fireplace? Maybe carbon from the air is landing on the unit surfaces. At any rate this has never happened with any of the units I have owned. Before panicking perhaps give the filter a wash using the recommendations in the handbook and restart them. Good luck.

This happen to me once and I hope this will solve your problem. I just change a new filter.

This kind of dripping situation is not happening in my faucet filter. Mine has been used for quite a while and has replaced a few filters and is still working fine so far.

Could be mineral buildup. It happened to mine along the seams at the bottom, but it took took two years rather than two months for it to happen. You might have particularly hard water. We have one of those filters at the sink, so the water is less mineral laden. You'll have to get a cleaning kit from Simplex since just about every other product on the market messes with the tin. I wasn't happy about paying an additional $40, but Simplex customer service told me I'd get more than 20 cleanses out of it. And it worked like a charm.

I think because your filter is impeded. Try removing the filter and clean off the debris.

I got that a little bit and figured I didn't rinse all the suds out or residue from the cats built up in it. So, I thought I'd open the filter area to rinse that out too. Then, I wiped the whole thing completely dry and let the filter sit in the window sill to dry out. As I wiped the stainless dry with a paper towel, I did feel some film on it. So not sure what it was, but wiping it dry and leaving it out to dry did away with it.

I have NOT had that problem, I'd say it is your water. Fill a bottle, let it stand 24 hrs and check for sediment in the bottom of the bottle, this may tell you it is your water, not everything can be filtered out.

my filter is color coded....turns red from white as it gets older....then turns black when it is fully black it is time to replace....i don't have a date code? not much help to you i guess.

So far I haven't had that issue. I just clean off the filter - wipe off with paper towel or hand and replace it. I haven't had it longer than about one month.

Hopefully there is no sand in your filter, that would mean it broke! There should be a screw to anchor it down with on the outside of your filter.
