Is there a trick to installing this? Water is not coming out through the filter after installation.

No trick. You do have to turn the filter while installing. Sorry you're having a problem, I had no problem with mine. My fridge is a Samsung Side by side .Maybe it's not the right filter for yours????. Wish I could be more help .

Maybe some fluid engineer could comment on this, but if you can pull water up a short tube that means water is being pulled through the filter. I have a 6 inch tube in an aquarium and that functions well.

I haven't experienced this problem yet...be sure to rinse the filter as instructed prior to placing it in place; and be sure you haven't installed it backwards...not much help--I know, but all I can think of.

it is possible the valve is no good or is not lined up to completely shut of the other valves while in the filter position. their should be no water coming from that valve also make sure your pressure valve on the left of that hole is closed.

I fill it 80% full of water, then (carefully and before it goes through the filter) turn it upside down in the sink and work the top off. The weight of the water inside the unit helps a lot.

I had the same exact issue! What we did, was cut the actual mesh cover on the tank to allow the filter and wire to run through, and cut around the actual piece itself. We neatly cut around it with pliers.

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

My first question would be if you primed it according to the instructions that should have come with it (I think they're on the box)? If not, do so. If yes, something I've done to prolong the use of mine is to gently scrub the filters with a clean wet dish cloth. I'm assuming your filtering tap water, but if your filtering dirty water then flow can diminish quicker.

Pull out the compartment in the front of the unit that holds the water. When its completely out of the machine look inside at the top and there is a pull tab that you pull down and that is the filter. Just pull it out clean it and slide it back in.

did just replaced the filter? there is a possibility that the housing that holds the filter is lose, try to tighten it , first unlosen the housing, it maybe misalign and not properly screwed in the base thats why there is a leaking, try to check also for any losen connection from the base where you connect the tube to the faucet, if you already done it and problem still persist probably there is a defect/faulty with the design, you can contact the manufaturer for support if still covered with warranty, hope this help

I believe it says in the instructions you need to move it closer to the filter to get a water flow / movement but I may be wrong. If that doesn't work use a flat head open and clean if it was a used one.

I tried lubricating the gasket with oil, soaking the unit in hot water, and twisting the filter with my hands and pliers many, many times. It wouldn't budge. This worked for me: 1) Reattach the whole filter unit to the faucet (Screw the metal swivel collar back on tightly.). 2) Hit one of the 3 finger tabs sticking out from the bottom of the filter sideways to your left with a hammer several times until it starts to move. 3) Twist the filter to your left with your fingers until it comes out completely. FINALLY SUCCESS!!

Try this. Open the filter up and manually fill it almost all the way up with water. Then close it back up. Try to plug it in and ensure that you have the valves in the open position.

Interesting. My filter unscrews quite easily. Perhaps give it a better tug. Good luck.

This has happened to me a few times. I couldn't figure it out at first, but then I realized that it was getting a little clogged. I think I'm due to change the filter, but today when I was cleaning it, I blew into the black hole so that water came out the other end and made sure I the motor really well. Put it back together and the bubbles started coming back up through the top. Ashtyn is right too -- you have to really make sure the two pieces line up perfectly together.

I've never had this problem with mine. Did you rinse out the filter well before placing it? That's the only thing I can think of that might be the cause...

mine has great outflow, check your pump output?? pump size ample to do the job?? filter plugged??? is the red flag in the bubble showing the filter plugged??
