how to fix when pur filter water stuck on top?

If the water is not flowing down into the pitcher, the filter is clogged. If you mean that the filter is stuck to the top, you must turn the filter to remove it. You cannot pull the filter out. You must twist it out. If it is hard to twist it because it is wet, take a dry cloth and hold onto the blue filter and twist it out.

I lift the blue top inner section of the pitcher and set it at a right angle across the clear pitcher. The extra elevation helps the filter, even though it looks a bit odd. I only do this occasionally; not usually necessary.

Replace the filter. Water isn't filtering because the filter is clogging and needs to be replaced.

Sounds like the pump. There is a fly wheel [you can see this through the top [a round hole] that may be stuck. Try forcing water or a burst of air through it. Some times all it needs is pulling the filters up and down to get it started.

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.

Just make sure the vacuum part at the bottom is clean. I had the same issue but turned out the brushes at the bottom had stuff rapped around it blocking the water to come out.

Excellent question. Stumped me too. The lid doesn't unscrew or otherwise come apart. Try holding the lid perfectly upside down, so the filter faces the ceiling. Push your index finger down firmly into the filter. There's space in the middle of the lid underneath the filter, so your finger pressure will cause the filter to collapse in the center and fold up along the edges. Then hook the edge with another finger and pull it out.

I only had that problem once. Make sure you have the filter compartment placed in, wide end ( see pitcher illustration ) to front, and the top must have lid filler end towards the handle. ( the shortened end of lid to the spout)

Yes I had that issue when I replaced my filters. If it is comming from the two large openings then unscrew them and re-seat the rubber o-ring. Screw the caps back on and that fixed my problem.

I found it is easiest if you remove the filter add a some dish soap and half a tank of water shake it to stir then turn it over and shake up and down vigorously. As long as you not holding onto the white top it will fall out once the soap loosens it.

Just take the top off and there should be a black flap. Undo the flap and replace with new filter. Make sure u take the plastic wrapper off of it.!

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

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...

I just opened a new Pur filter, filled up my pitcher and 10 hours later all the water is still at the top. These filters are expensive so it is really frustrating to read this thread and realize that I probably just need to toss this filter in the trash.

How about reading the manual. It's online. Pull out the water container. Reach in and pull the filter down. It is towards the the front of the unit. Wash, dry and replace.

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

This happened to me as well on the 2nd day. Initially, I soaked my filter many times and that didn't help. Eventually it finally stopped today after I shook the filter. It was so frustrating. I guessing maybe this has something to do with the fact that there are 3 layers of the filter materials. Perhaps the mineral particles shuffled to the very bottom but they're supposed to be at the top, according to the pic in the brochure. This is just a guess.

I've tried pliers and even a hammer and it still won't budge. If it is not on tight, then it leaks. But as it is nearly impossible to remove, am tossing out the unit today and have canceled my subscription for the filters.
