Why does water come out of two different holes on mine? It also comes out of the tiny hole on the other side on the bottom.

Sounds like your filter may be misaligned. Try taking it out and reinstalling it again. Never use hot water as that will damage your filter.

Is this a new filter unit? If it is new, sounds like defective to me. My experience has been that the filters always end up leaking when it is time to replace. Quality of workmanship and design is not directed at longevity.

When you flip the switch down the water will come out slowly because it's going through the filter. When you don't need filtered water (like for doing dishes) flip the switch back to the up position and the system will bypass the filter thus prolonging the filter life. Tom

Hi KP, I am not sure of your question, are you using this kind of Filter for the first time or have you used these before. There are two outlets of any of such household filters, one is Unfiltered water which is very fast and bigger volume. Another is filtered outlet, which only let's water out in a slow tiny volume depending on your faucet pressure. The tiny outlet is triggered only when the switch in front is turned 90. Degrees to your right.

No I have the same problem! It appears to be a flaw that they did not attempt to fix. I did take a pair of plyers (water pumps) and snuged it up and that does hold some what better.

At the top where the water expulsion ports are, there is a plastic divider that moves back and forth, it can get stuck by leaves or debris. Move it back and forth with your finger a couple times and it will usually work fine after that...

There is one hose that comes out of the bottom that is hooked on the side. There is a tap to which one can attach a hose to water stuff and there is an overflow. The idea of plants on the top is rather silly.

I have the same problem and I fiddle with hose and tilt the basin to the side where it drains,and the water comes out. You will never get all the water out,and you need to turn the basin upside down in your tub or sink to get the rest of the water out.

Actually, there is some kind of hole on a side I've never seen before. No idea what it is for. It might be it.

Hi, S. I just looked at mine and it is like that only in the bottom where water has been sitting that didn't evaporate or get poured out completely. Are you making sure it's dry after each use? I suspect it may just be staining from gross minerally stuff in the water, but I'm no scientist.

You have to ensure water flows out from the bottom hole of. Bottom is the point.

Time for a new iron. The main water container has a pinhole size hole in it. Sometime the water contaminates cause this. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Finkcreek

There is a plastic screen on the underside of the base of the pump. There are holes in the bottom of the square plate (right under the pump) and a gap between the square plate and bottom of pump to allow water to enter the bottom of the pump.

There are 2 small holes in the bottom of the one I have. I find that this is about perfect for how I brew coffee, the most crucial thing is to have the right grind, it may take a couple try's to perfect it, but I've never had a bad cup of coffee out of this thing

Sounds like you need to install a check valve in the line so that water does not flow back in the other direction.

Mine had the same thing. I actually cleaned it out real good and ran straight water through it and now the issue is resolved. Not sure what it was though

You might have filled it up too much or check the piece that goes under the cap to cover spout hole, sometimes people put it on backwards and it leaks.

I have had the same issue, unless you need to make another right away - I have learned that if I let it sit for a bit, some of the water dissapates, this minor flaw is not terribly inconvenient but I think the holes need to be bigger on the filter.

Mine is mounted vertically with the water coming in the bottom but I don't see why it couldn't be the other way.

I have not had mine that long and have not had that problem but it might be that the water intake tube is stuck in the top of the water tank.If so, push it down so it reaches the bottom of the tank. Another thing it might be is that calcium and mineral deposits could have built up. I know they sell a Shark water filtration bottle to stop that from happening.
