Question by timot5845: Stop paragon water filter connection from spraying and leaking where it screws into the faucet?
I bought a paragon 10,000 gallon water filter from Sears for $ 60.00 and the part that screws into the faucet sprays water. The unit came with 3 different rubber washers, and I tried each of them, and it still sprays water. This particular water filter screws into the faucet, and the water base sits on the countertop, and is good for a whopping 10,000 gallons which is cool, but I can’t seem to stop the darn water from spraying out where it screws the water diverter into the faucet! I am hoping that someone out there who has had a similar problem knows how to fix it, or is a plumber or understands how to correct this problem. Thanks and I look forward to reading your answers. Thanks!

from what i see in ur question it attaches to where water exits faucet, a washer or multibles of “washers” will keep it from leaking, also try tightening connection to faucet spout

i would use Teflon tape , rap it twice , o n the thread,
then apply the washer , make sure you screw it slowly ,and straight
From your question I believe that the water leak is coming from the area just below the diverter valve top rotating collar.
This is because the end of the faucet screw threads (where you removed your aerator) is not compressing the black rubber washer provided against the internal body of the valve. Some remedies….1 snug up the rotating collar with pliers, 2 …remove and replace washer with one that is just a bit thicker. 3 send me your address and I’ll send a thicker washer.
This leak is nor usual, but it relates to the different styles of sink faucets in the market…..
