  Albert McknightAug 2, 2025
  If you notice leaks on the system's inlet/outlet connections: * First, turn off the water supply and release pressure by turning on a drinking water faucet. * Then, remove the tubing from the fitting, ensuring the tubing end is cut squarely and free of burrs. * Reinsert the tubing firmly into the fitting, pushing it to a hard stop. * Hand-tighten the compression nut initially, followed by an additional 1 to 1 1/2 turns for a new nut, or 1/2 to 1 turn with a wrench for a previously tightened nut. If leaks continue, turn off the water supply.

Why is there no water or decreased water flow in my Pelican Water Filtration System?
- P
  Paula MartinAug 26, 2025
  If you're experiencing no water or decreased water flow, several factors could be at play. First, check the flow at the faucet; the PDF-1000VF system should fill a gallon jug in about 2 minutes, though this can vary based on your household's water pressure. Next, ensure all filter cartridges are correctly oriented in their housings. Finally, consider replacing the filter cartridges.
