Do the instructions say to turn the filter off when turning the hot water on or the filter would get ruined quickly with hot water?

The manual specifically states that you should never run hot water through the filter.

Good question.... I have thrown the user manual away but using common sense I would never use Hot water with this filter. Always use cold water. It is a good filter but not industrial grade.

Correct. However, I've had this system for years and obviously, sometimes you turn on the water not realizing the last person to use it had it on hot and it goes through for a few seconds. I think they mean don't try and filter hot water. I've never noticed any difference or rapid deterioration of the filter after this has happened.

I'm not sure. Your best bet is to call PUR and ask them. 1-800-PUR-LINE M-F 9 to 5PM EST.

The only purpose for the filter is to filter cold drinking water or water for a coffee maker or such; there'd be no reason to filter hot water.

I do not leave the hot water side on all the time but only because i do not make much that needs hot water. But when I do it does not take long to heat and is very hot water I love this feature and if you use that much hot water do not see any reason why you cannot leave it on. But you would have to add water often as it would evaporate is not filled

I own two of them and I have never had that problem. Check to make sure that the filter screen is not dirty and clogged, I know that this will make it run hot.

I have not had to clean mine yet, due to the water we have (very few minerals in it), but when brewing a bussing sound is normal, but this unit is suppose to shut off in 90 or so seconds after brewing a cup of coffee. Which means the blue indicator lights that you have on the unit that blink after you brew a cup will stop flashing , and you would need to press the on button again to turn the unit on before you can brew another cup. In short, if the lights don't go off, you have a problem, and if they do, the unit would not be able to overheat because it would be off. Hope that helps. Also, if you have cleaned the unit, you likely opened up the cap that gives you access to the water filter section, I do know that if that has not been put back on correctly, the unit will be very loud, and not function properly (wife when she first used it thought that was were the water was poured into, and didn't get it back on correctly), the way the marking are for lock/unlock really do not line up correctly, so you have to make sure you secure it back on correctly.

Yes. Turn off. Clean metal sonic plate with tip. Also replace or remove filter on screw on lid. Use cold filtered water. Hope this helps. Mine is still going strong.

There is no anti flow option The cold water comes from the back and hot water comes from the front You want to turn off the filter when using hot water so the filter last longer Just turn the knob on the housing The water flow is not restricted Hope this helps

Once the water boils, it automatically switches to warm mode. In warm mode, the water continues to be just at or very close to boiling temperature. Actually you would have to switch it off if you want it to stop.

Use the tip of a ballpoint pen in the hole next to the red light indicating clean the filter. Takes a few seconds and the red light goes off. I haven't had a problem with this. Janice

Actually a valid question, you will experience a certain amount of warm water when the cold water is turned. But I myself personally have never found it to be a problem. The warm water on the cold side is quickly flushed out and cold water comes in a few seconds. Hope this helps, May God Bless.

Cycle the on-off switch. The unit has a built in run-time limiter. Or you could be off on high limit. Is the hot water supply VERY hot? If so could be high limit.

Yes, it will stop in short time, usually when the water starts to get hot. It will happen every time you turn it on. It is normal!

Generally these filters are intended for cold.water only. I believe this is stated in the specifics or instructions. If you want your hot faucet water filtered need to filter.it before the heating process. For some reason hot water damages the filter unit.I have found this filter to have terrific longevity and value. It is also quick to replace e.

It turns On and stays in that position till you turn it off. No holding needed. The taste of the water is much better tHru the filter.

I've been using PUR filters for a long time. I don't have any problem with it. After installation, please don't forget to let the water run for the recommended time.May be you have a different issue. Sorry, I don't have a definite answer for youGood luckN.T

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.

Yes. There is a switch which you can turn on manually. You may not get instant hot water when you turn it on. You need to leave it running for a couple of minutes.
