I HAVE A LITTLE DRIP AT THE SEAL WHERE THE WHOLE HOSUE WATER FILTER CANISTER THREADS TO THE TOP PART. I TRIED TEFLON TAPE NO DIFFERENCE. iS THERE A SILICON PLUMBERS SEAL PUTTY THAT MIGHT STOP THE DRIP. iT IS EITHER THAT OR CHANGE THE WHOLE SEARS FLITER HOUSING AND MAYBE THE COMPRESSION FITTING.
I have a 10 year old side by side GE refrigerator with a water dispenser that is leaking at the filter. The leak is inside the housing that holds the filter in place. I removed the filter and examined the gaskets and they look fine. The drip is constant and is not tied to the use of the water dispenser. What could be causing this?
Just to clarify, the leak is not from the filter itself. it is located above the filter. When the filter is removed, it still leaks.
I live in Central TX where it rarely freezes. When it does, I have heard that water needs to be dripping from a faucet to avoid the pipes freezing. My mom told me that she heard it didnt need to be done. Any suggestions? To drip or not to drip? Do outside faucets need to be covered?
The bathtub has the 3 faucets 1 for hot 1 for cold and the middle one to switch the water to go from shower head to tub . After I turn the water off it continues dripping from the the tub faucet and from the middle one where I can switch the water to come out of the shower head or tub. Also when using the shower I have a lot of water coming out from the middle faucet I have tried tightening and they are tight and still drip. What else can I do ?
Hello,
My shower faucet is dripping and is there something that I can do to make it stop dripping without calling a plumber? The knob are turned as tight as I can get them but there is still a drip. It may seem like I am being petty but I am on a fixed budget and those drips turn into dollars. Plumber are very expensive and it may be something simple that I can do. Any suggestions would help. Thanks
And how many faucets should you let drip. If you have a 2 bath home, should faucets be left dripping from both bathrooms & the kitchen or is just 1 fine? Thank you!
My brother-in-law told me I should let my faucets drip since the weather is getting so cold now (9 degrees). I’m concerned if this will put too much strain on the pressure bladder, well pump or water softener. My pipes are in the attic because I am on a slab house. Our well is 70 feet down. We just bought this house last year and remodeled it. We also blew in extra insolation in the attic last year too.
I don’t know if it’s because the weather is getting so cold or if it’s because we are keeping a constant drip, but when we turn on the faucets in the morning, at first, the water blows out kinda hard out of the faucet. Is that due to overuse of the baldder and well pump because we have the water on a constant drip to prevent pipes freezing or is it because of the cold weather?
Thanks!
I’ve never had to let my faucets drip in the winter the past 16 years of living in this 1984 home. But there’s an apartment complex that asks its residents to let their faucets drip. What does this say about the apartment complexes or the building themselves?
I have had the fridge since August 2008 and the water dispenser worked for a brief period of time, but water has not come from it in a really long time. I can occasionally get a drip or two from it if the ice dispenser is going at the exact same moment. Is this an issue with the water filter or something that I should get someone to service?
This is the freezer I have:

I know some websites say that Kenmore water filters are at the bottom, in the grill, but I can clearly see that mine has the water filter on the inside of the fridge, under the top.
last question, are filters easy to change??
I’ve seen multiple portable water bottle brands that come with an insertable water filter. However, I know that with my water pitcher filter at home, it takes a little bit of time for the water to drip down and filter. Is this the case with these portable bottles as well?
Also, none of these brands state which type of filter they sell/use. Does anyone know which manufacturer sells purified, ceramic, or reverse osmosis filters?
Thanks!
Thanks, but I’m looking for more info specifically on the portable bottle filters
My husband is trying to install the water dispenser tube on the back of the refrig. and is using saddle slef piercing valves. They keep leaking not a lot just about a drip every 5 minutes or so. What has he not done or done to cause this and how does he fix it? We had it hooked up before and it worked fine had to unhook it to install new flooring.
It also is leaking at the base of the refrigerator where the tubing is attached. This is a compression fitting
I know when it’s hotter out you need to water your plants and flowers more often, and I’ve heard that you shouldn’t water your flowers everyday, unless it’s hot out. But, my question is, how much water should I give my flowers. I have a variety of flowers in pots. I’ve heard you should water them until it starts to drip out from the bottom, is that true? Can you over water flowers?
