Can the water filter housing be the cause of slow water when the filter is in place?

Even a new filter will reduce the flow some what. I think the pressure to the filter is low or restricted . that will cause a reduction in flow, no it should not leak, check on the seal.

Jen Air Refrigerator (JCD2290HEW) developed problem with having low water flow at water dispenser and water hammer after changing water filter and depressing water dispenser to remove air. Have changed the...

I understand the correct manufacturers number for the PuriClean II water filter for your refrigerator should be UKF8001 or UKF8001AXX, that you have the correct filter, and you have plenty of water out of the dispenser when the filter is not installed. If all that information is accurate you have 30 pounds or more water pressure (although the minimum is 20 pounds the higher the pressure the better for flow will be), then I would try holding the filter under the faucet to be certain the water flows through the filter without a lot of resistance. If that checks out, I would look for a gasket or some other part from the old filter that is stuck in the filter housing.

Water dispenser sudden low flow/pressure. Bottom freezer KBFA25ERss. I have replaced valves, removed every segment of line and blown them clear from dispenser tip to supply line. Supply pressure and flow...

Sounds to me you have something wrong with the filter and retaining air there. That air must be purged to get the pressure you need from water supply. Double check that water filter I think your problem is there, Thanks Sea Breeze

Hayward heater H 150,Code LO

"LO" is simply informing you that the Heater is not sensing proper water flow through it! A Flow Problem.
A special sensor, called a pressure switch is this source. But... That does not mean it is bad - No, it is in most cases just doing its job!
Most common reason - Dirty Filter.
A good cleaning of the cartridges, or maybe a breakdown and recharge of a DE Filter, or a good cleansing backwash of your sand filter, will remedy this situation.
Or... Check for any OTHER reason or situations water flow may be reduced through the heater:
  • enough water in pool or spa?
  • If you have a weir gate in skimmer, is it stuck in the UP position?
  • Are any valves closed?
  • Do you have a bypass valve at the heater?
    • If open, this will reduce the amount of water going thru heater, close it to the point, LO goes away.
  • Could be debris in front of Pressure Switch, in the copper tubing
    • Unscrew and remove pressure switch, turn pump on. But first, align end of tube so that when water squirts out it will shoot out from heater and not onto electronic heater components!
  • If all above is good, you may have failed pressure switch?
  • Etc
Good Luck - hope this helped.

I received a notice that the filter needs cleaning. How do I do that?

THis is a PRS code (clean filter/strainer) correct?
This simply means that either there is no water flowing through the pool heater (possibly due to a dirty filter)
If you know you have good water flow, then your pressure switch has failed. Replace the pressure switch.

Water flow is slower than the normal. we check the saddle valve, lately we changed the water filter from that day on water flow is very slow.

In some models it creates an automatic by-pass when the filter is removed. If this is one of those models remove the filter and use the dispenser with it out. If you get good pressure now, it indicates a problem in the filter housing. If it's still slow it could be due to low supply water pressure or a defective valve. You can check the water at the valve inlet and outlet. First turn the inlet (main) water supply valve off. Now disconnect the water inlet line at the valve and place the end of it in a pitcher. Turn the water valve back on and check if there is a good solid water flow. If the water flow is good reconnect the water to the valve and now take the water line loose on the back side of the valve. Activate the water dispenser and check how the water flow is coming out of the valve. You will probably need another person to help you with this check. If the water seems slow, then the valve will need to be replaced.

Heater fires up and is hot but does not heat the water. Raypak Versa bronze

This unit must have adequate water flow and apparently needs to be checked for proper operation.

Consider the following:

The unit as manufactured is equipped with:
  • pressure switch - likely stuck in the on condition, or been has been bypassed
  • Thermostat - Needs to be checked to insure it is properly working and calibrated.
  • Hi-limit switches - need to be checked to insure they are working and not bypassed.
  • flame sensor - prevents flame from leaving the firebox and damaging control area. (if equipped)
  • Flow Governor - controls water flow through the heat exchanger to prevent over pressure.
If the pressure switch is working properly, a blockage after the heater, would create pressure, but not enough flow. Check for a closed valve or obstruction in the plumbing.

If the problem is a clogged filter, and the filter is located before the heater, then the pressure switch is NOT working correctly and needs to be replaced or adjusted to factory settings. Remove the filter cartridge and check for flow.

Bottom line is:

No flow and no pressure, - heater should not come on.
No flow, but pressure, heater would come on and overheat, tripping hi-limit.
Good flow, heater would come on and spa would heat.

Gettin LO error on display

Lo is an error code dealing with the safety loop, hi limit switches, water pressure switches. Check for continuity and the wiring between the hi limit switches and the water pressure switch. Also, check to make sure the filter is clean and the pump basket is empty. These also can cause a low flow situation that will cause the pressure switch to not close properly.
