why so slow to dispense water?

The "Tap" is plastic, & small. You turn the handle on the tap and the water comes out slowly because there is no air for the water to flow. If you squeeze the entire jug, water comes out faster. Or better yet, remove the tap while the jug is in the upright position, then turn it over to get a faster pour rate.

It does not have an air hole, so it is slow to dispense. You can lightly push on the top and it will come out faster. Don't push too hard or the nozzle will come shooting off.

There is a molding problem with the valve which obscures the water flow. Remove the excess plastic with a small knife or screwdriver and the water will start to flow.

I don't quite understand when you say "looks to be too short"? My water was getting slow and I know it is because I have very hard water around my area. I ran a cup of diluted Bar Keeper's Friend through then ran a few more times with clear water. It cleared the problem and the water goes down very fast again.

It depends, of course, on how much you use it and the sediment in and quality of your water supply. Typically for us, it's a year. The flow rate slows considerably when the filter is full. We run out of patience waiting for the slow stream to fill a glass. At that point we order a new set.

You have to pour water to the top chamber slowly and evenly, but only a small amount, because the top filters much faster than the bottom one. Try 1-liter first, about 2-quarts, with no water at the bottom, wait about 4 hours and then see how fast it goes through. Sometimes we have leaks because we fill the top part with much water than it can handle.Hope this helps.Daniel

lab way is to get or make known salt concentration to see if reads similar other time. Solutions evaporate over time too. Distilled water should read very low too.

I fill my unit I/2 inch from the top. If the water still flows poorly, check the pump, it may have a blockage. Rinse the pump real well. Hopefully this will help.

Maybe it's because you just turned it on. If you just turn it on high it will drop down to a lower speed until the water circulates and then go back up. It takes about 5 minutes.

I have the same issue, I tried to use cold water, tap water, filtered water same results. Let me know if you get an answer.Christophe

Go to their website .the first filling is slow as all the spaces have to get wet and then let water through, think of it as great sponge slowly absorbing fluid... But after that if you keep top half in water the bottom is always available. Maybe you have a silicon nut in wrong placeBut again they have always been able to answer all my questio either through website or by direct contact. We love ours.

What is the issue? You didn't really explain what the issue is. If it is flowing slow, you may have to remove the screen in the connection hose to your water source on the faucet. I've had this faucet for three years and it is amazing. If anything, you can call price pfister and they provide free support

If the weather is very humid, it may be exceeding the device's ability to self-evaporate the moisture. Try elevating the unit onto a sturdy platform (about 12") and, using the little black hose that attaches at the bottom of the unit, drain the water directly into a bucket (it will fill a 2 gallon bucket in about 5 hours, so you have to watch out for overflow).

I think all faucets are limited to 2 gallons per minute to conserve water. See how long it take to fill a gallon. If it is slow then you may have a supply problem. Mine will fill a quart jar in 8 seconds. Good Luck

perhaps you may have a kink in the water line. Is it the hot. cold or both lines that exhibit low pressure.

It takes experimenting to find right amount. Water not supposed to go through fast. Try finer grind and pack down slightly.

It's not very fast. The kit, the faucet has a very small outlet and the lines are relatively small.

If the tank is higher than the sink you can use the system like a siphon, although it's rather slow.

Yes, the water dispenses quickly. The water heats up quite fast, too! And the water remains hot even 30 minutes after the switch is turned off.
