the water just started coming out as a slow drip, after only a month of use. Should that happen?

I am on well water so mine is slow for the most part till the well pump kicks in. I have a friend who has a similar system who is on city water and his is slow also. I believe that it has to do with the filter. I know that my water tastes better with it. Hope this helps.

This is my second one. The last one cracked after about a year of my grandson abusing it. You have to change the filter when the flow slows down. Plain and simple, the filter is getting clogged by your dirty water or dirty pipes. Just think about how much trash is in that filter (and not in your body) when it slows down then simply twist out the clogged filter and replace it with a clean one. We use ours many times a day, so my grandsons have clean water and I don't have to sweat my coffee pot getting clogged with calcium like the fast couple did, before the filter.

I've had this happen when someone runs hot water through the filter (which the instructions say not to do). Warm seems to be ok, but occasionally a guest will try to fill our kettle with hot water though the filter. It's also happened when debris blocked the small opening of the valve after the water main was turned off and back on for repairs. You can remove the fixture from the tap and clean the valve out by running water through it the opposite way.

After 2 months, it turned to a slow drip. I'm in NYC, where tap water is among the best in the country. From the 2012 report: "Two thousand and twelve marked the fifth year of DEP's implementation of the latest 10-year FAD, issued by EPA in July 2007. The FAD maintains New York City's status as one of only five large cities in the country with a surface drinking water supply of such high quality that filtration is not required."

It unfortunately happened to me with two of these filters. I was very excited with the high ratings this product has but then it stopped working with in less than a month. I asked amazon for a replacement, than that one stopped working. I figured it was my plumbing and decided to give the filter to my mom and it didn't work

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.

We've had ours for over two months and it is still running as well as the first day, use it every day, multiple times a day. Very pleased with it.

I've used these faucet filters before, and the manufacturers tend to be pretty optimistic about the life of the filter. Also, the two months quoted is really an estimate because it depends on the condition of your water and how much you use the filter. I haven't had mine long enough here in Florida to get an idea of how long it will last, but I'm pretty careful about only using it for drinking water. From my experience, I'd say a month on a filter is within the 'normal' range. Btw (and I'm not sure if it mentions this in the little manual), I've read that running hot or even warm water through them kills the filter prematurely. The good news is this one has made a huge improvement in the taste of my water, so I have to assume it's doing its job!

It happened to me as well. They tried to blame the water in New York, but others have complained about the same thing.

I sure don't know... I have only had mine less than two months.... but so far my wife loves it and that is good....

Oh no! Mine just started leaking too and I'm not sure if it's too late to return it. Let me know what happens with yours. I really have enjoyed this dispenser until now.

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.

Mine does have a tiny amount of water remaining but not nearly as much as you have. I don't know if that mean there is something wrong. Perhaps try it running on the intermittent timer compare it to running it continuous.

When I got mine out this winter it was doing the same thing but I had put new filters on it and think them weren't soaked yet. I changed the water and restarted it and the thing has been working ever since so that is all the help I can be.

I've not see any water leaking from the filter area. That said, I do believe that water does drip down through the filter... where do you see the water coming out of?

I had that problem. There is a filter in line. Cleaned it and the flow was fine again.

Are you using filtered water or distilled water? These were suggested to me, in lieu of tap water. Maybe this will make the difference. We have had no problems!

I just went through this issue as well, with the New and Improved filters...as Special Etc mentioned, it was because I hadn't pushed down on the filter enough to create a seal. I could actually see water leaking out the bottom, in addition to it pouring out the 4 holes. After pulling it out, re-inserting it and pushing it down hard, it sat much better and the filtering was back to normal again.

Clean it out completely and check cords. Also make sure there is water in it, If not it may slow down or stop without it. Mine did that, but after I cleaned it and filled it back up, it was up and running. I think it's because the water was too low. That makes sense to me.

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

Mainly due to the impeller. The top portion must not be working. Did you plug the system in? If you can't here any water movement or the system running, then it has malfunction. Try changing the impeller first.

Mine was the same and caused me much concern at first. Just brush off the filters and wait until they become saturated. Within a couple days mine sped up to where it will now fill the reservoir within four hours or so. Been using it for a year now with no problems and am completely satisfied.

I don't use mine very often, but I've used it a few times at least with no problems. But a couple days ago I used it and I think I've got the same problem you are describing. I could hear that it was not working right and I could see that water was not getting sucked up. I picked up and reseated the water tank assembly. Then it worked fine again. The problem is, I had to do this several times as I cleaned our small living room. I hope this is not going to be a continual problem because the machine is very new and has seen very little use.

After about 3 months, mine begin to leak & sprayed water on the back wall. Since this one of yours is new, try taking it apart & reinstalling it. If this does not work, ask Church and Dwight for a replacement one.

Hi George,I would first check the pressure in the holding tank to make sure it is correct.Have seen where water will come out fast but trickle off quickly and this is sometimes the problem.

Mine started to drip a few weeks after installation. Had to buy a new cartridge. Its been drip free for about a year, but it seems to be starting again.
