It's been a month since I have used this and the water pressure has dropped tremendously. What's is wrong with the filter?

Usually when water sits for long periods of time, it becomes stagnant, and in the case of your filter, it's been just sitting in that filter for a month. There is a possible build up of algae. Id buy a new filter cartridge and try that.

My water pressure is always very low with this filter, and mine also keeps resetting the "gallons filtered" counter. You might want to check with the manufacturer. I've noticed that the filter needs to be flushed out when not used often.

Yes I had a similar issue when I changed the filter. Call the sevice and they will help you.

Not a problem with mine. It could be a clogged filter or to much pressure/flow from the supply. Replace the element and/or turn down the flow rate.

Did you give it a little time to saturate the filter? Unless you did something putting the new filter on, which I am not sure what that could be. Giving the filter time to fill is all I can think of. Good luck.

We had the same problem - evidently we may have waited too long to change the filter and so much pressure built up in the chamber that it ruined the plastic threads in the cap. We had to use some large channel lock pliers to turn the cap out and ruined the threads in the process. We contacted customer support about the problem and they replaced the unit - hope this helps

Iam on a well system, water was checked before i installed this system, all my readings were satisfactory at that time, The filter system was really old so i just updated to this system.i have not checked the water now.

I would either ask a plumber to look at it, or the water filter may be reducing the flow. I have no problem with water flow on my faucet. Another thing, if you just recently bought the faucet from Costco, they will take it back or exchange it if defective.

The only guideline I can recommend is watch the flow rate. When it slows down, replace the filter.

Please check water pressure. We had same issue until we lowered the pressure. Best of luck

It is hard to say why it no longer lasts as long. I have not had that issue even with new filters. It could be something has gotten worse from your water source. Maybe your hot water heater is releasing debris. That is my best guess. Sorry I can't help further.

I wish I had better news for you Raine. I had such a difficult time changing this last time, that I broke it and had to call a plumber. Even the plumber railed about the poor quality of this system. I am going to replace the whole system and get a different filtration system. Both times I've tried changing these filters I needed help and it kind of defeats the purpose if you aren't able to change the filter. I think that PUR has a model with an easier change filter. Good luck!

We have been using these for a long time and have two different filters in line. There has not been a significant drop in pressure, however, we have not put any pressure meters on our water lines. It does take out a lot of junk and we replace it about every 3-4 months

It's definitely the filter, if you have a new filter replace it if not take the filter out and see if it still happens, I had a exact same problem, replacing the filter took care of it. I even tried to clean the filter but that didn't help.

Where is it leaking from? Make sure the filter is in place and the water basin is fitting into the base properly. Otherwise, I would return it because it sounds like you have a defective one.

Dear Carlos, I am sorry, but my water is fine. I do not have a filter. My problem is high calcium. As a result I need a new unit about every three years. I did see some filtering units for sale. I would try a reverse osmosis if I had your problem.Thanks

Did you changed filter cartridges? Make sure your water valve is open all the way!! If is a new install it takes a while to built pressure!! There a lot of air in the lines!! Disconnect tank from plastic hose and drain any water inside also disconnect all three filters and start precidure. Sometimes filter don't lock properly!!

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...
