is there a problem running hot water through the filter?

You can run standard hot water through the PB1. Not an issue. I've been using this filter for over a decade, and it's one of the best out there

I don't believe you are supposed to as it will shorten the life of the filter. If you do, be sure to run cold water immediately after so as not to provide a nice environment for bacteria, algae, etc.

No, it is not designed for hot water. The filter will fail and may cause damage to your washer.

I have a hot and cold system and it works like a dream. The water goes from filter to separate heating tank however. Not sure how your system is set up.

CharlesouTou are welcome. This has been a great filter. I have had it running continuously (other than cleaning) for more than 7 years with no problems.Mark

Hi, if you were talking about "water" filter, YES you should change it as often as you want. If you look at it, it will show you just how "clean" your water is. A common reason is RUST ! Hot water in pipes has a sediment of rust particles. Even when cold only is turned on, particles move in pipes and may be sent thru water system. Check top of filter for "rust", easily seen if problem exists. Maybe you are lucky and have "clean pipes" !! LOL

never had that problem. However there is a mechanism that shuts off water flow thru the filter if the glass pot is not in place. My guess is this mechanism is falsely reporting the absence of the pot at some pint during the brew.

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.

The problem is probably being caused by your water conditioner, not the filters. Try another water conditioner and see of that eliminates your problem.

Since mine is inside I have not had to face that issue, but we have elevated the heater off the ground incase of accidents with the lining. I think there is less of an issue with the filter.

Did your breaker trip? As long as water is being supplied and drawn, it should get hot unless there is no electricity! Have you cleaned out the filter on the intake, it may be clogded and no water going thru! Trying to think what might cause the problem.

If bad taste is just in water from Hot water dispenser only, then filter will not help. Certain bacteria can grow in hot water dispensers especially if left idle for long periods and not using chlorinated water. Try draining and flushing.

Nina--I've had my hot water dispenser since Jan of 2011. So far I've not had any trouble with it. One of the things you could check (or have a handyman?) is the water line could be clogged somewhere along the way. Other than that I really don't know. I just read the other suggestions & I agree with them. I think I'd contact Waste King & see if they can help.

Depending upon how hard your water is, the filter may need to be cleaned with vinegar. I'm on my second kettle now and have found that after the filter wears out (the nylon mesh breaks down) I can still use the kettle with no trouble at all.

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.

I've never had this problem with mine. Did you rinse out the filter well before placing it? That's the only thing I can think of that might be the cause...

Hi Carlos. I don't have that problem. I am not a chemist, but are you sure a filter can improve the taste of your water? Do you have that problem with other faucets in your house? Are you using the hot water frequently enough or does it sit in the tank for too long? Is it set too hot? Good luck.
