Water Softeners and Air Filtration Systems - culligan filter leak

I have a Culligan under sink filtration system. Afer i use the filtration faucet and turn it to the off position, water comes back up and leaks out the space in the side of the faucet. Is there a clog in the tubing? What could be the cause?

Hi,

Could you describe the water that goes into the drinking water system? Is it city or well water? Do you have any treatment for that water? Is the drinking water system an RO or just a single carbon filter? Does the water dry around the faucet and form a white, crusty substance?

By understanding the condition of the water feeding the faucet, we might be able to pipoint the proble you are having.

Thanks,
Andy

From your discription I would say the water is coming from the air gap.....the waste water is run up to the faucet, overflows into a larger drain line where gravity takes over....if the drain line gets clogged it will come out of the hole on the side of the faucet.....disconnect the drain line and clean it out.....also make sure there is nothing in the drain hole itself or that the drain saddle has not been knocked off center :coffee:

jdp38 you were right. The line was clogged

glad i could help
