i just moved in and a pur water filter is attached to my kitchen faucet. I can only use the watergun(its on every kitchen sink, its the water gun that you can pull up and its connected to a hose.

I tryed taking it off with my hands but it seemed like i almost broke the faucet, so im not going to try anymore.

The faucet picture looks like this - http://www.airdelights.com/images/pur/fm -9800_full.jpg



THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Mine is a different model, but I assume they all mount the same way.

It just screws on in place of the aerator (the little strainer thing on the bottom of the faucet that the water comes out of). If it doesn't come loose by hand, either (1) it was installed by a gorilla who put it on too tight, (2) it has gotten gunked up and is just plain stuck, or (3) it attaches differently than mine.

If you don't care about saving the Pur filter itself, you could try a pair of pliers (opened to their wider setting) to grab it and get a little more turning power than just by hand. Of couse, this could risk damage to the faucet.

Remember that you are probably looking down on it from above the faucet, so the turning direction to loosen it is the OPPOSITE of what you might be thinking. Remember to visualize the "counterclockwise" direction as through you were looking up from BELOW it.

If the only problem is that you aren't getting water through the filter, maybe you just need to replace the filter cartridge inside it...?? The company's website or tech support phone could tell you how.

Bottom line for my answer: Unless yours is a lot different than mine, it's probably just stuck on really, really tight. (Or you're turning the wrong way.)

Good luck!

I purchased a PUR faucet mounted filter but it didn't come with an adapter to fit my utility sink. The faucet on the utility sink has threads that are like a garden hose male side. I need an adapter that goes from that to a normal faucet type thread.
I looked on the Home depot web site and couldn't find anything. Please provide a link if you are certain they sell it. Thanks.

You need a female hose by male faucet connector; any home depot or decent hardware store.

The system they sell in Sav-On and stores like that all show the filter fitting over a typical kitching sink faucet. Does an adapter or something exist for use in a bathroom?

bathroom fixtures are normally connected to a tank. Water can be stored there for sometime before it is fully used. so the water isnt clean to filter it only.

I've seen pictures of the PUR water filters and they're always mounted on kitchen sink faucets. Can I mount one to my bathroom faucet? It's not a loop and is a basic bathroom faucet that looks like this:

(the reason why I want it in the bathroom and not the kitchen is because my cat, who has kidney disease, is constantly jumping onto the bathroom sink for water and I want him to be able to drink as much water as he wants)

yup.... it has the threads so you can put one on there

Can I install reverse osmosis water filter without using faucet comes with it?

I want to get a RO filter for my ice maker. I do want want to dig a hole on my countertop or the sink (or using any existing holes). Is it possible to connect the "tubing to faucet" directly to the ice maker faucet? I only want to use drink water from the ice maker faucet.

Is this possible? Did anyone have experience with this?

Thanks.

Yes this can be done. I do this on a regular basis. Be sure to use plastic tubing from the R/O unit to the ice maker. R/O water is very aggressive to copper.
