I have an Everpure H104 water filter installed under my sink that the previous owners installed. Has worked great so far. Changed the filter a year or so ago with no problems. Just swapped in a new filter, and the new one leaks. It seems like the impact of the water when I am done filling my glass forces a few drops out of the top somewhere.

I’ve placed a pan under it for now, but am going to tackle it again this weekend. Anyone have this happen to them and want to share their experience? I have the 800 number from Everpure.com but am curious to hear your experience with your filter, especially fixing a leaky filter.

care full attention must be taken when closing the filter after filter medium replacement , u just need to replace the rubber “O” ring , the previous one is already become unusable of there would be miss fitting of the ring while closing / righting ,
purchase a new rubber O ring or proper size rubber Gasket. u may also use Teflon PTFE for this , but rubber is best, available from every big hardware shop
