Does this filter hinder the unfiltered water flow at all? I've been using a Pur faucet filter which does NOT affect the unfiltered flow.

I have very low water pressure and it does not affect the flow out of the unfiltered water. I just love this filter

This kind of dripping situation is not happening in my faucet filter. Mine has been used for quite a while and has replaced a few filters and is still working fine so far.

I can't tell I have a well with a pump. The pressure is set by the check valve on the tank. It will not vary. I have never run the system without a filter. But I do not notice a variation in flow with different filters or after 2 months before I change the filter. I have not measured the flow at the faucet. Most modern faucets have a flow limiter to reduce usage, so testing would be difficult.

I have not run in to this problem with my faucet. It does take a while for the hot water to push all the cold water through thats been sitting in the pipes. However a few minutes does seem excessive. It's been several years since I installed this faucet and have never changed the cartridge or had any problems.

The filter filters the water going into the bowl. I don't know if the filter will do that. Also I use mine for my two cats. Sorry I couldn't be of more help

There shouldn't be anything to prevent this. I would recommend installing the filter system and making sure it works first, and ensuring you have the correct diameter of the lines feeding the special faucet and the refrigerator. Then get a plastic compression T with the right diameters (filter line and refrig. line may be different sizes). Turn off water, cut the line between the filter and the faucet, install the T there. Reason for the compression T is that it fits OUTSIDE the lines. Flow is not fast (about a pencil width), and using a T that restricts that flow is inadvisable.

flow is about the same as the pur, and yes you can us hot water in the unfiltered position. The DuPont mount is far better than pur.

See this other model instead: 3M Filtrete 3US-PS01 Undersink Water Filtration System Slight differences in filtration but does use existing faucet and doesn't reduce water flow.

Depending on the installation, there is a filter between the tank and the water supply. The instructions note that you should check this filter if you have diminished flow.

I have a 100' x 3/4" hose on it and it looks like the tube it connects to is 1/2" so yes it restricts flow but I have not noticed the restriction because I have 80 psi at that faucet. We love the quality and styling and it doesn't leak!

Yes just unscrew and remove the aerator (that's the tip of the spout). This faucet has the threading on the outside so just make sure you have the right connectors for your Pur Water Filter. I'm using the DuPont WFFM350XCH Water Filter. Wrap a bit of "Plumbers Tape" or "Thread Seal Tape" on the threading for a better seal.

The non-filtered side is male threaded. The filter kit comes with several adapters and I have a defuser/strainer on those threads and it also fits the old peerless fawcet threads. The female threads on the strainer measure inside diameter 13/16 and I am sure that is standard. Before installing this filter device, I had a dish washer connector threaded to the fawcet threads. Should be no problem for your use. Good filter and my low use last well beyond the 2 months recommended without serious loss of flow. Nice feature is the pull out diverter to the filter side pops back automatically to non filter flow when the water is turned off. The non-filtered side is male threaded.

Actually, I have a revers osmosis system in my house for drinking water and I didn't use the filter. I was told by my plumber if I filtered my RO system it will slow down my water pressure. The RO water is already great and I didn't need another filter. If I did use it though it would be easy to change. I have an extra filter.

That is a question you should ask the manufacturer, but it is not made to lay on its side and I think it could have a negative effect on the filtration process and water flow.

Flow restrictor is usually built in to the water filter. It is required to restrict the flow. Otherwise the RO filter won't have enough pressure to filter water

I connected my filter unit to a non-sprayer faucet. I had other questions when I first bought my unit and connected directly with the manufacturer. Their information was accurate, complete, and thoughtful. My suggestion would be to hear what they have to say about your options.

I have seen mixed opinions about the water flow. I personally had this same issue. But I took the filter off the faucet then took unscrewed the filter out of its housing and made sure all the water was out of filter then did the reinstall steps like I was puting a new filter in. I then put the fu lter back on the faucet. Then very slowly turned the water on to slowly fill the filter with water. And behold I got my flow back I had before. I think there was a air pocket in the filter. Give it a try see what you think. i hope this helps let me know.
