      I've experienced this too. I assume the battery is bad when there's no beep but wait to change it along with the filters from our subscription. Do you have a way to test the battery?

    I have replaced the filters several times. After the latest time, no water comes out of the faucet. Water is going in to the elements, but even after waiting several minutes no water comes out of the faucet. I tried removing and reinstalling all the elements, but get the same result.

      I've come across a few threads on Reddit and Amazon reviews where people mention this problem (no water flow) due to the pre-filter (first filter sump) being just a little shorter than the others, meaning there's not a good connection at the top of the filter to allow water to pass through and on to the other sumps. The workaround that's been mentioned is placing cut straws or cut and coiled spare Aquasana hose in the bottom of the pre-filter sump, placing the filter on top and then securing the lid. If you haven't already, you may want to call Aquasana customer support. They may provide replacement filters. For what it's worth, I've not personally encountered this issue and have had three AQ-5300 over 9 years. I've always purchased replacement filters directly through Aquasana. I wish you the best of luck in resolving this issue!

      Wow, THANK YOU for all this info. I'm glad I read all these comments before replacing my filters, because this same issue happened to me: no water coming out. I added a piece of the old filter's plastic net that holds the fabric in place (trying to mimic the piece of straw that you mentioned) and it worked like a charm 😊😊😊
      Thank you, thank you. You made this project so easy with your instructions!

    Battery? Why does a passive water filter have a battery? Some kind of reminder signal?

    • @wildcat-diy
      @wildcat-diy  11 місяців тому

      Yes, that's exactly right! The unit beeps to indicate a filter change is needed, which for this system, is either after 6 months of usage or once 600 gallons of water have been filtered.

      @@wildcat-diymine never beeped at all, and since we recently moved into this home I had no clue as to when to change filters. Yesterday the front cartridge began dripping water sometime during night. When we caught it this morning water had already seeped under my wood floor and carpeting. These water filters should never leak. Maybe stop working but not leak. What if homeowner is away for couple weeks? There goes flooring in whole house.

      @@carolyncook3611 That's terrible!! I'm so sorry and I wish you the best ❤ If you connect with Aquasana, I hope their customer support can offer some assistance. Thank you for sharing your experience so others can be aware of potential issues like this. Could you tell where the leak was coming from on that first filter cartridge? From what I've seen, a leak can be caused by worn or damaged O-rings on the sump top, the sump body and top being either too loose or too tight, or the sump being cracked.
