Anyone having leak problems like with the Sprite filters?

If you have high water pressure, it can leak a bit. Just wrap the threads of the shower arm with plumber's tape. You may also need to put plumber's tape on the threads of the filter where the shower head goes as well. Fixed it for me. :)

I don't think this will be helpful to you now, but I recently replaced my Maytag filter with the Swift filter and it leaked instantly. I took it down and replaced it with another Maytag filter and its doing great now. I'll only buy the Maytag filters from now on. Best of luck to you.

I also noticed this on my last order from Amazon. Prior experience has always been dry. I found this issue after their return period so, now what? All filters in the package were wet and had a little charcoal coming out.

Yes it is normal. I have the same system. Its the design of the system. The way it works the filters are never under pressure. The pros are you don't have to worry about water leaks. the con is its annoying that it takes time to shut off. The more pricier ones have a pressurized tank allowing better flow control or instant shut off.

Yep, I just got these and they leak all over the place when not upright. Going to try jtrumpio's solution.

I haven't had this problem so far. Probably yours has dried out. Sorry about that. Have you tried to contact Fallene?

Hi George:The design flaw of the filter causes this problem: all u need to do is use a clean blunt object, like the handle of a butter knife, tap the top of the filter until all the bubbles come out. You may need to do this every time you add water to the top. If you have the double filter (large) model, tap bot filters. It removes the bubbles that are causing a vapor lock situation, and water flows normally again.

Check your rubber seal and make sure it fits properly. There should be no leaks, turned on or off. Maybe have a bad unit, or just a bad seal. Mine has worked fine, but I use mine for polishing and not for the main filter.

They are in the spigot. We've used it a few times and have not had any leakage problems.

I have this same problem. Also, my steamer got clogged and I can't seem to get it unclogged. Does yours spew steam from like, below where the filter sits when you turn it off from steam? I think there's something wrong...

One of the parts that comes with the system is the "Quick Connect Fitting with Filter and Cap." The screen inside may need to be cleaned per the instruction manual. Other filters that you may have installed may also be restricting flow.

I've had NO problem with leakage. I've vinegar & alcohol in them that I clean eyeglasses with,also water for watercolor paintings.

I would love to know this too! My spigot has leaked since the very first time I used it. I would love to hear if you found a place that sells them!

Be mindful of the water pressure when you switch over to the filter. The filter will not withstand the same type full-flow as your tap. I had the same leaking problem initially but it took two tightenings (re-seats/slight turns on the bottom) and the leaking stopped for good.

I have not had any leaks from the spigot, do a water test when you get it. Make sure the rubber gasket is seated correctly.

I didn't have a leakage problem but I have had several that just stopped working. Had two of them replaced by Mony but one of the replaced ones stopped working after about two weeks.
