Do you have to disconnect it every time it freezes? I live in my camper trailer full time and whenever it freezes I leave a faucet dribbling.

Most probably, the filter is about 2 in diameter, and when on filled with water, it empties a bit when disconnected but never is fully empty. I would expect it to freeze and damage at least the filter media if not the case. Also, if you left it dribble it would it use up its capacity in a short time.

I wouldn't advise letting the filter freeze. When water freezes it expands & when it expands you risk damaging the filter.

If you are hooked up to city water and leave a faucet dripping it shouldn't freeze unless way below freezing. I have done the same in 20 degree temps and didn't have a problem. Hope this helps.

If the freezing temperature is only during the night and warms up to above freezing during the day, this method would be OK. The concern is how long the filter will be effective with water running through constantly.

I actually use this as a carbon filter for the water I use in my brewing. The filter lives inside most of the time and is only hooked up when I use it for short periods of time. I'm assuming that you would need to disconnect it to avoid freezing and only plug it in when you want to use it. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

You don't have to disconnect the filter when temps are freezing but it will shorten the life span if your water is constantly flowing because it will still be trapping impurities in filter and will be used up faster!

As long as I leave my faucet dripping, I've never disconnected mine. But I'm talking the occasional freeze. If you are experiencing them frequently I think the shorter life span wouldn't be worth it.

I attach these to my outside faucets to somewhat purify my dogs water. In the winter, I completely take them off and wrap my hydrants. Sorry that I could be more help. I would figure they would freeze though unless you alowed a large amount of water to flow through them.

I do disconnect each time AND drain it if I leave it outside. Actually, I drain the filter and hose and then make the connections so in the morning all I have to do is turn the water back on.

You have to hold the switch down to make it pause. And it doesn't matter of you are on stream or spray, once you pause it, it comes back on as stream. Also if you are on spray and shut the water off, it comes back as stream. But it works really well. I have no complaints. After having it for several month's I actually don't use the pause that much, anyhow. I just normally push the lever to off, so it's kind of redundant.

1) You can hear it running, but it makes no more noise than my 18 cu.ft. Whirlpool. 2) The answer totally depends on the shape of the container(s). The more surface area, the quicker the total freeze. I see no reason that your container(s) wouldn't freeze just as fast in the Waynter as in your home unit. It may be best to keep the unit in the quick freeze mode, and set it at max. cold until they are frozen.

True for mine, too; but to be clear, it's not the sprayer so much as the hose. Because, I find that this is an issue only when the hose is quite cold or overly warm. I've gotten into the habit of guiding it back down with two hands (one on the hose, the other on the sprayer). Had this been a significant factor in my level of satisfaction, however, I suppose I would have spent a little more money to replace the hose with one that is less sensitive to temperature.

No sorry to say. My husband get everything real cold then unplugs so it does not freeze. Just don't forget to plug back in!!

Hi' If you own one I feel sorry for you, but if you have a basement in your house keep it there it will be fine if not unroll the hose from the reel then you have to work fast plug it in and turn it on at the same time squeeze the trigger on the wand that will purge all water in the pump to the hose, then shut it off. look and you can see a disconnect from the hose reel to washer disconnect it then with some help have someone squeeze the trigger and hold it above their head and slowly roll up the hose the water will drain out you should be good to go you could also lay washer on its back and pour RV antifreeze down the hose connection with it running and squeeze wand trigger and pump thru the system but that is a bit over kill.

I usually turn it off during the night but you don't have too. I just do it to unplug electrical items. It words really well. Small but makes lots of ice.

When it freezes below about 20 you have to drain it to protect the coils. That said, you may start the water and fire it up when it is below freezing, just remember to drain it once it cools off.... Our unit works on a single handle application, it just has to be set at a lower temp.

I tried to use this at an unheated cabin. Even after using compresses air to blow out the water the internal aluminum pipes froze and blew water out the back. I called customer service and while they werent extremely helpful, I realized this unit wasnt intended for my kind of use so I couldn treally blame them. Its pretty fragile if it freezes. I bought the portable camp heater and now just haul it back and forth. It works fine.

Tammy, I figured out after that happened to me was to get the motor running and pour the mixture in using the slot in the top. I haven't had any more trouble with it sticking. It does seem to freeze up quicker than the time it says in the booklet. I scrap it out with a rubber spatula and put it in a container to finish in the freezer. I got a good hint from another web site to put a little acholol ( rum or tequila)in it to keep it from freezing rock hard. Hope this helps

Mine has never frozen. I live in NH, Temps do drop to 0 but do not stay there for a long time. The waterer is in the coop not outside. I am going to purchase another one.

No, you can keep it connected while you use the battery system of your trailer. I believe that is what you are asking. But if you mean should it be disconnected while the trailer is moving I would say, yes.

We have not had problems like that. We are on our second one now and haven't had any problems except our first just quit heating and the water froze. We had our first one 4 years....

I also have a noisy video. First there is the constant sound like water from a faucet and second is the sound from the auto focus clicking like morse ccode. Anybody else have this issue? Is it possible to get it replaced from a good batch? Or all items in this model have this issue?

I have not run in to this problem with my faucet. It does take a while for the hot water to push all the cold water through thats been sitting in the pipes. However a few minutes does seem excessive. It's been several years since I installed this faucet and have never changed the cartridge or had any problems.

I finally installed this faucet a couple weeks ago. We noticed that everytime we connect our portable dishwasher to it it leaks under the sink. I see water dripping from the center where the tubes go up into th ebody. Has anone ever seen this? Is there a fix? It only seems to happen when under pressure.
