Any one else have those pur water filters that's supposed to clip onto the faucet adapter

[Arcanetrance]

Because I just bought one and it won't clip on at all is there a trick to it. Do I have to make a pact with an ancient deity

1. You have to unscrew the existing airator from the end of the faucet and

Replace it with the one that should have come with your filter.

3. I did it won't clip onto the adapter

5. Squeeze the little black plastic tabs.

6. It has little whit tabs and I tried still won't stay

I'm probably gonna take it back and exchange it

[OffWithTheirHeads]

9. Yeah, don't blame you. I had one for about a year and the replacment

filters are like WAY expensive!

12. Also, If you accidently run hot water through it it fucks up the filter

And you have to replace it with another EXPENSIVE filter.

2. if it is the silver one, return it, it loosens over time and then each time you want water

you take a shower. I had the white one and it worked great for 5 years and then got stuck and wouldn't come off for cleaning, so I cut it off, but the sliver one is just junk.

4. Shit of course I got the silver one

[hollysmom]

7. I think they may have discontinued the white one -

The white one screwed on, so you could tighten it or put in a washer, the silver one clicks on. but it was always so loos, it wobbled a bit and loosened over time, I tried all the adapters only one fit and that ended badly for me. I got store credit when I brought it back without the receipt after 4 months. I tired every thing even plumbers tape and silly putty, the showers just got worse and worse.

11. Yeah only one adapter fit my faucet as well and that's what's really terible

The other three will clip in just fine but they don't fit my faucet

8. +1000

I got that one based off my previous model that I left at my old apartment.

Huge mistake.

The silver one leaks at the faucet joint and at the filter itself.

10. In college.

We had one in the fraternity house (a rental, the chapter was not that rich to own a house in DC.) that would never stay on. One of our pledges was an engineering student from Lithuania (and somewhat of a dunce but a really nice guy) and he said he could fix it on his day off classes. So we left him the keys and when we returned it was on, it worked and it never fell off again. We should have known.

When it came time to move out, we discovered why. He'd Gorilla-glued the threads on the filter to the ones on the spigot. So we left it there...and about a week later we got a letter and photos explaining why we weren't getting the security deposit back. A plumber later and much hair-pulling, the landlord ended up cutting it off with a hacksaw and replacing the faucet.
