Seems to leak all over when the filter is not activated. Has anybody experienced this? Is there a quick fix?

Happened to me. I removed and reinserted the filter a dozen times. No luck. Ended up returning it. I recommend the Pur brand.

No.. I have had my for a long while now.. and it never leaked.. you may want to call the company.. it sounds like you left something off while you were installing it.

I haven't had this issue at all. No problems. Check to see that the filter is in right and screwed shut, make sure it is attached well to the faucet

I have the same issue and don't have a solution yet (other than cleaning up the leaked water each day). Does anyone have a solution?

So far ours is not leaking. That said it was only installed 2 months ago. Thanks for the heads up about this potential issue. I'll keep an eye on it and update my review if it becomes a problem.

Did you check if maybe you overfilled the unit? If not, than maybe you should return for a new one. I have had mine for 6 months and i have never had a leak. So maybe your unit could be defected?

I that happened to me.. basically you over filled it and the pressure pushed the top tank up.... fill up to the top of filter, or just below. It's good to go

I didn't. I just changed the filter quickly and had no leakage except what was in the filter itself.

Sounds like you have air trapped in the system. You could try taking the filters out and flushing the system with water and reinstalling the filters. I'm assuming that you have no leaks in 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

Make sure filter is installed correctly and is clean. Call Hoover customer service if that does not help. I have had no problems at all.

Nothing like stating the obvious but did you allow your filter to dry out completely? That would be an important step and if your not sure try washing it thoroughly and dry at least over night to 24 hrs. I've washed mine and honestly let it dry out a few days before I attempt using it. I hope that helps.

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

Mine isn't doing this. I would use some very diluted bleach and clean it very well and replace the filter. Search for the dilution you'll need on the bleach and water for cleaning.

I had that problem. There is a filter in line. Cleaned it and the flow was fine again.

Sorry ! Mine works just fine! As a matter of fact , I am thinking of buying another one Do you clean the filter? That might be your problem?

sorry, I returned my unit because it was leaking everywhere. I never got any further. Perhaps there's dried soap in the nozzle? try a open paper clip and see if there isn't a clog

I have not had this issue with these filters. Is it possible the filter slipped out of the slot holding it. I have had no problems with the filter, been using them about 2 months and I am getting ready to replace it with a new filter
