Does this spigot release water releatively fast? The water dispender I just purchased come out way too slow - looking for one tat comes out fast :)

yes, this gives a good stream of water, of course the fuller you have the container the more pressure behind it so water comes out faster.

No. You have to purchase the see-thru spigot. About 30-35 dollars? We don't have one yet, but plan to get one in future. Not a big deal at this point, you can tell when it is getting low by how fast the water is coing out. This is a great system, has already paid for itself, for us. We have horrible water and now we cook, drink fresh water and, make ice tea everyday. I bet we use 5-6 gallons a day. Really saving us a lot of money as we were buying jugs every week.

No, water comes out by itself,it's just a spring under the white part that allows water not to spill. It sort of serves as a stopper/ water suspension regulator. Hope it's clear. No, you don't have to push anything other than fill up the white container with the spring on the bottom of it and put it on top of drinking part.

You control the stream with a little flipper located at the 5 o'clock position relative to the spout. But as for how much comes out, if you are using it for dogs, it isn't like a garden hose. If you want a big stream, you might consider looking at a custom fountain. I ended up giving up on these drinkwell products after the melted motor (from my review).

If this is a new filter, water should not be coming out slowly. If on the other hand you replaced cartridges you may have installed a cartridge upside down.

The spigot that comes attached works fine. I suggest you lift up on it when using it rather than push it down.

I'm having no issues with the filtering speed. It may slow down with time but a fresh one filters a cup's-worth of water in no time.

Yes, I agree that the position of the water towers are likely to be the answer to the low pressure and flow rate. The frost-proof spigot would only change the flow by about 30%, but after the test, simply subtract 30% and see what it would have been with a standard spigot.

I have the water level view spigot for my Berkey. We have had the spigot leak once or twice. Both times we have had to reposition the part of the spigot that is touched when using the spigot to dispense water; I have rotated the handle and this stopped the leak. Hope this helps! Love our Berkey!

The plastic spigots that came with the 2 barrels I bought were junk. One broke fairly quickly. I replaced both with brass spigots that were threaded. Because it was about 3 years ago, I don't remember if the plastic ones were threaded, sorry.

Yes. In fact it dispenses really quick so you don't want to take your eyes off of the glass you are filling. I have mine on a sun tea jar, replacing the original faucet that came with the jar because it always leaked. This faucet hasn't leaked yet and it is like my third summer using it.

You sure don't want to put your water on full blast - just a little bit is all it takes for this soaker hose to do the job. Of course, that applies to any soaker hose. Turn on the spigot just a little bit and then watch to see how much comes out of the hose and if it fills to the end. In this case, less is more.

I believe the red plug is to be in the spout when your pouring your juices into the separator so if your pour to fast it won't come shooting out of the spout. It's the only time I use the red plug. Love this separator!

Hi Michael, If you use a small bottle (like a beer bottle size) and tilt it back just a little it won't leak. I just use 1 cup of water with 1/4 cup of sugar in that size bottle. The first time it had a very slow drip but the next one has not dripped. I watch the spout when I tilt it back and you can see when it goes back too far an air bubble will get into the spout. tilt it a little bit forward and it should work fine. Hope this makes sense and helps.

Hi Richard. Yes I only bought one of these hoses, but after the third use it came apart at the fitting that attaches to the water spigot. Was not impressed with it. When I have that kind of a failure soon after purchase I don't try it again. I won't purchase another. Hope this was helpful. Good luck.

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.

They don't always work immediately. The scotch brite tip works, allow the filter to dry entirely and then when resubmerged in water allow a day for it to become saturated with water all the way through. I promise they work and I personally believe a slower filter is not such a bad thing. Allowing some way for the system to vent is critical as well, get creative. Messing with that ceramic filter a lil bit is a lot less effort than carrying cases of water. The Dude..... I'll gladly take those off your hands.
