Many people want to filter their water, yet do not have enough monies to purchase a complete Big Berky British Berkefeld water filter. In this ...

I just bought a house with a relatively new stainless frigidaire refrigerator. I noticed the water flow from the dispenser was pretty slow, so I replaced the filter with a new one. Now there is no flow from the dispenser and water is leaking from the filter housing. I put some teflon tape on the threads of the filter housing, but there is still no water flow from the dispenser. I tried putting the old filter back in and there still isn't any flow. Anyone know whats going on and how I can fix it? (And yes, I'm sure I'm using the correct filter.)

There is mineral build up in the water line. You either have to replace the line or take an air tank/air compressor and blow out the line. I have blown out the water line at my mother's house every 3-5 years for the past 20 years.

Good luck?

Ergonomic Pressure Release Button Included
1/4" NPT Inlet / Outlet Connection
Clear Sump with Blue Cap

I've finally fixed the water pressure problem by replacing the self tapping valve with a normal valve, but water still leaks from the filter housing when the dispenser is activated. So basically anytime I fill a glass with water or water is periodically filled into the ice dispenser, a good bit leaks from the side of the filter into the fridge. I couldn't possibly put any more teflon tape on it and the seal seems tight. What's wrong? Its a Pure Source brand filtration system.

If the seal is in good shape the plastic filter housing is most likely cracked. Shut off your water, take the filter housing off and hold it up to a light. You may find it has a small crack in it. You can also fill it with water and wipe it dry on the sides and look for water seeping out the sides.

I have a water well. The well services my house and also a rental house next door. The water is very brown but if I put it in a vase after a day or two it clears and you can see the sediment on the bottom. This sediment is causing major plumbing problems: the toilets get full of silt and the works inside have to be replaced frequently, the screens on all of the water faucets and the shower have to be cleaned about one a week and we can only guess what is happening inside of the water heater.

What kind a water filter should I buy? I Googled it but there are so many different kinds and types that I'm really confused. I need a really big commercial kind to go on the well, that can make sure that clean water is going to both my house and to the rental house too.
The water is just light brown, a little murky looking with a slightly rust colored tone. It's not dark brown and it's not really gross. There is no noticeable smell. All of the sediment usually sinks to the bottom of a container in about 24 hours and leaves perfectly clear water with gritty, rusty stuff settled on the bottom.
I'm about 5 miles outside of San Antonio, Texas city limits.

I can't know where you are; but here in FL. "BROWN" well water is usually "bacterial iron" and often from a well sunk too deep. It isn't at all toxic; but certainly has unpleasant side effects; especially to plumbing.

I have two suggestions. One far more a bargain.

At the pump, in the visible plumbing you can install an Inline cartridge type filter, and depending on how much you spend, it can be Back Flushed/Drained...and/or removed to be Flushed or changed.

The other option; which I had to use was a Tank...like a water softener; that not only killed, but captured the bacterial iron. Obviously it was the more expensive option, but the only one available at the time. Either way they both need regular monitoring and maintenance.

From a Geological standpoint,,,Indulge me... This planet is in effect an IRON based planet. That occured probably 4 Billion years ago. It will remain a fact as long as we exist. Bacterial iron is similar to what happens during RUSTING, or what takes place on the TITANIC...Also an undeniable, ever/ongoing fact. As a species we have to deal with it.

In your case certainly you probably will have to have a capture/filter tank system installed. In my case I also added a water softener system; though it wasn't required to filter out the BROWN. Still in the context of any you choose; some regular monitoring, flushing; and replacement might be an issue.

I'm a bit curious as to how deep your well is; it's storage tank capacity; the delivery system to HOW MANY rental units on the same well; etc.

BTW, and aside. I had a second well sunk; initially; strictly for irrigation. At 45 ft. the Point struck limerock, and water; and that water was clean/clear/ and drinkable right out of the ground.

Add on: OOPs Ok I re-read and see 1 rental unit.

If I buy a water softener that has a built in whole house water filter, do I need to remove the filter on my water dispenser on my refridgerator so that my water isn't 'too' filtered? Someone told me that and I find that hard to believe, so I'm coming to the experts for advice. Thanks!

We have well water and were looking into getting the Waterboss 700; there are 2 people in my household.

No, you can't have too much filtration the way you're doing it. The filter in the fridge will just last longer.
