Just installed. When I turn the water off it still keeps flowing for 20 or 30 seconds, gradually reducing flow to where it's off. Normal?

Yes, it is normal since the water has to go through 2 filters before coming out. It usually takes about 10-15 seconds for the water to come to a complete stop.
1660488
Yes, ours did that as well. You get used to turning it off a few seconds before you want it to stop!

Yes it is normal. I have the same system. Its the design of the system. The way it works the filters are never under pressure. The pros are you don't have to worry about water leaks. the con is its annoying that it takes time to shut off. The more pricier ones have a pressurized tank allowing better flow control or instant shut off.

i find the problem diminishes slightly over time after initial installation, and after filter replacement, when presumably air bubbles trapped in the filter housing are gradually absorbed into the water passing through, and being flushed out, thereby reducing the overall elasticity of the cartridge/housing/tubing system and leading to less residual pressure when the inlet valve is closed.

What is the issue? You didn't really explain what the issue is. If it is flowing slow, you may have to remove the screen in the connection hose to your water source on the faucet. I've had this faucet for three years and it is amazing. If anything, you can call price pfister and they provide free support

Maybe it's because you just turned it on. If you just turn it on high it will drop down to a lower speed until the water circulates and then go back up. It takes about 5 minutes.

The fitting has nothing to do with the problem. The problem is internal. I believe it is the diagram which will not let the pump shut off once it is activated. Once the water is drained and the float lowers/returns to the normal "off" position, the water never turns off.

No, it isn't normal. Mine will do that for a couple of pumps until it is primed after being empty. After that, it is a pure stream of water with the range depending on how fast you pump it. On a fast pump, it will go 20 feet or more.

There are 2 settings. It is on until it runs out of water constantly. Or it is on for 30 seconds and then off for 30 seconds until it is out of water.

The black button that you see near the head of the unit is close to on/off. It still lets a trickle of water through as opposed to completely shutting the water off.

We have not had that problem. It sounds like your faucet is not completely turned off. We do keep the nozzle handle positioned in open position when off so the hose completely drains.

I have too much water flow. I had to attach a shut-off shower valve which can also be used to restrict water flow.

I don't seem to have this issue with mine. While it does lose a little bit of the smell because the water is evaporating, It's not that much different than when first turning on. Another thought would be that maybe you are "used" to the smell after diffusing for a period of time that it doesn't seem as strong.

if the water flow isn't fast enough the water will get too hot and will shut off for safety reasons and once it shuts off it doesn't like to turn on for a while. because of this i run the bathroom faucet at the same time and adjust the flow to play with the temperature and keep it stable. i've never had an issue with a drop in water pressure turning it off and we use multiple faucets with it running like flushing the toilet running the washer and taking a shower and not had a problem.

The shut off is supposed to be automatic. We see some evaporation but not a lot. I tested our water and it was 40 degrees. We also add clean water each day.

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

Yes its normal. Just let the water run for about 5 mins and it should be good

Up in the Seattle area I sometimes have to drain it. I believe it is related to humidity, although I'm not sure that it might also be related to having the fan run at a variable speed. I don't see why the fan speed would matter, but I have noticed a correlation.

I leave the water on continuously with it set up through a timer. Just twist the timer to 20-30 minutes a few times a week and walk away. When the timer goes off it quits flowing water to the hose.

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.
