When I put this new filter in the water went down to extremely slow. Reinstalled and still really slow after running it for a long time. Anyone else?

Not sure. Works fine in my Whirlpool Gold. I've replace several over the years.

Check to make sure it is going on the right rail. I had the same problem the first time I changed my filter.

Mine hasn't been working either. I thought maybe it was because the company sent me a replacement filter because this one was out of stock. It had the same "button" you push to get the indicator started but it never changed.

I haven't had any problems with mine since I put it in. Mine been in for at least four months now, my old filter in had to clean it every month and half.

Sorry Arthur...I think you're right! I ordered a spare filter back in June and thought nothing of it. Then, I went to change my filter this morning and the one they sent me was wrong. My old filter has an opening on both ends and the new one does not. Plus, the part number is different. Maybe it's a new design but I'm not putting it in until I find out. Thanks for making me aware of this. I wouldn't put your's in either. Please let me know if you find something out from the company.

i do not have that problem. its only for cold water. my problem with this filter is, it don't last the way it used to to about 4 to 6 months. in my case, the last few filters lasted only about 6 to 8 weeks and the flow becomes very slow and restricted inspite of having the same source of city water.

Yes, I've started having problems with mine after 7 months. I thought it may be the filter but they said not. They sent me three parts I have to try to replace and see if that works. It seems like the don't want to give out new filters. My suction is fine for about 5 minutes and you can see the diffence. There are no clogs but the motor overheats and shuts down. I'll see what the parts do but I don't thing they are the problem.

When I got mine out this winter it was doing the same thing but I had put new filters on it and think them weren't soaked yet. I changed the water and restarted it and the thing has been working ever since so that is all the help I can be.

That did not happen to me. If you soaked your filter as it states then this should not have happened. I would call the manufacturer.

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

This filter didn't work out for me. Mine started making noises too. It then stopped working all together. I've replaced it with the Tetra whisper power filter. We have three tanks all using this filter and have had no problems.

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.

It could be defective. However, I know after you replace one, and the older filter has captured a lot of particulates in it, the water flows through it slowly. When a new one is put in, it seem to flow through fast just because it hasn't captured any of the microscopic particulates yet. As the activated charcoal in the filter captures more particulates, it will begin to slow down some.I suggest you call Brita on their customer service number and express your concerns. Most of the time these companies are very interested in making sure you are satisfied, so call them.

I replaced the filter with no problem. When I did so there was an audible "click". The only suggestion I would make is check the filter to make sure it's the right one.

I've had very slow water flow, but switching back to original Maytag filters did not help either. I've not gotten around to having a repairman out because of the high expense. I think the filter is as good as Maytag, but these water dispensers are problematic.

I think the directions said you had to run quite a bit of water when you first replace the filter. We did that and had no problems with the taste. Hope it gets better.
