Question posted by layna0713 on October 31st, 2013

Water Flow Is Slow

I have changed my filter twice in the last 3 months. Water flow is fine with out the filter. Once filter is installed it slows down. After a couple weeks the flow is even slower. As of today it takes several minutes to fill an 8 oz glass.
