Does the 3-Pack one also have the extremely slow filtering issue?

The filters can be slow. They filter slowly because they are doing a good job of double filtering. It's worth waiting for.

The 3 in a pack is the same as 3 singles. The slowness is for effective and efficient filtering as advertised. I set mine up when I am not going to need it for a couple of hours, like overnight or going out. The better quality water is worth the scheduling. The only thing I don't like is that it leaves Floride in.

I don't have the extremely slow filtering issue. It doesn't seem normal to me.

I haven't opened the 3 pack yet; I had purchased two other singles; I'm working with them and so far so good, they are lasting longer. Thank you for checking. If anything changes, I'll let you know. I am adding additional comment after reading other answers: No problem with SLOWNESS. I do as the others stated, I fill 2 25oz bottles to take to work, and fill the pitcher container before I go. On the weekends, I have not noticed it moving slowly - I would say normal - within a 1-2 minutes I have a full container.

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.

I have not experienced a slow filtering rate. Definetly not extreme however it is not instant I would not expect it to be that and it takes a nominal amount of time. This wait time is worth the it.

The solution to a slow PUR filter that works for me is to ensure that no air is trapped in the filter. When you soak the filter in a tall glass, the filter should sink to the bottom and be upright. The filter should not try to float with its upper quarter above the water. Try whacking the sides of the filter to rearrange the particles. Push the filter down into the water to "drown" it; you should see air bubbles escape. Repeat until the filter sinks rather than floats. Then you should soak the filter for 15 minutes.

The filters are slow filtering. I think most of them are. I try to think to replace the water in the pitcher when I'm not busy. I think they do a good job.

Not too slow. Have no problem with refill time. 5 minutes or so it you are empty. Water tastes great.

My filter tank holds 1 liter of water at a time. It takes 4.5 minutes for a liter to filter through into the pitcher. I'm not concerned so much about the speed in that I put my pitcher in the fridge right after refilling.

Not sure what you mean? Mine appears to be working as expected - still collecting dust per my black filter

So far I haven't had that issue. I just clean off the filter - wipe off with paper towel or hand and replace it. I haven't had it longer than about one month.

I have used these filters for the past 1 1/2 years without any problems. Sorry you encountered a problem.

I have tested few times in the past month. There is no change at all in the reading - ~ 350 before filtering and ~ 350 after filtering.

You can remove the gold-tone filter and use a regular paper cone filter instead. I have been doing it this way for months.

I'm sorry, but it has been some time. I do know that there was everything in the kit necessary for the filter to work with my system. Hope that helps.

Actually,I have not been able to get mine to do anything. I have to probably read the instructions better. so far, it has done nothing. Not much help to you! Sorry!I do believe once I get it figured out,all it counts is the date and when to change the filter.

No. You can use between 1 and 3 filters. The more filters you have, the faster it will filter. 1 filter ~ 14 hours. 2 filters ~ 8 hours. 3 filters ~ 5 hours.

Yes I had a similar issue when I changed the filter. Call the sevice and they will help you.

Use no. 1 filters - I buy them in a box of 10 or 12 boxes from Amazon for under $ 25.

No- make sure the filter is in correctly. That caused problems with mine too!

I ordered my unit from Amazon in August. The unit I received had the up-to-date firmware that resolved the earlier filter click and video zoom issues. FWIW, my packaging was dated 04-15-2013.

I have line filters because I have DSL. Not being terribly technologically talented, not sure if this is what you're asking.

I own two of these Units and they work great with the Upgraded $99 filter (Winix Size 21 Washable Ultimate Filter Cartridge (114190) ). I have tried washing the filters and I would say once max. I don't know who is rinsing them six times but I cant get anywhere near the same performance even after one wash with either sets of filters. That's the part they don't tell you. Every six months another $99 bucks for a filter. They work excellent though.RT

I tried to duplicate your problem with the B+W filter. I noticed no purple problems with it on but slight fringing w/o.

Hi I have only owned my 3 systems for about 6 months. I bought 1 extra filter and I check them monthly and have vacuumed each existing filters I plan on replacing when vacuuming and wet cloth cleaning does not leave filter clean. To tell you I love these systems! Sleeping so much better at night not waking up congested! Worth every penny. And my downstairs does not smell muggy anymore!
