Guest's review of Franke Triflow Water Filters

“”

★★★★☆

written by on 20/09/2009



I have had this franke triflow water filters since 98 so am suprised to read the other reviews. I never had a leak in 9 years and if you shop around you can replacement filters for under £15 (pozzani for e.g). The only problem I have with it everytime I have to change filters it is a horrendous job as I can't unscrew the filter. I always need help and take hours to loosen the suction. For this reason I am thinking of changing the filter for something easier that a lady can operate and maintain with ease. I have no other complaint infact all my friends who come over like the taste of the water but that may have something to do with where I live, softwater scottish countryside.

I am trying to figure out how this unscrewing problem exists for the writer and not for me. I wonder if the problem with removing the filter is caused by not breaking the water pressure first. Turning off the water to the filter does not break the pressure. One has to open the tap after turning off the water to drop the pressure. That will make a big difference.
<br/>The second possible cause of the problem is that there is a lock mechanism to keep the filter from being unscrewed. That device is a plastic lever device on the chrome filter holder. It can be depressed while turning the filter housing or, more easily, popped out of its holder for the duration of the changing filter time and then put back in. Last is the possibility that the writer doesn't have good hand strength, perhaps due to the awkward location of her filter. Most of these are installed such that the filter housing can be lifted off the bracket that holds the filter. That permits a much better grip on the housing to be achieved.

Hi, I had this same problem. But after contacting triflow they expained that they have now upgraded the plastic housings and i brought a new stainless steel housing and all new filters are bayonet fittings so they fit just like a lightbulb. So are push fit. So easy to change can do in a couple of minutes. Much better.
