The filtered water faucet on my 2004 Meridian is starting to drip, sometimes 1/2 cup during the night, and I was wondering if anyone has replaced theirs? I would assume it can't be repaired. If so where did you get the replacement? I looked at Lowes and all they have is really ugly. Haven't called Lichstein in Forest City yet to see if they have it available, was just trying to find it locally.

Turn it on with handle in up position. Try cleaning out under with toothpick of something small. Air would be good also if you can get air in there. Something may be holding that rocker up a hair.
Also, from the top position or full on let it snap down hard and see if that shuts it off completely.

I have the same problem, but my faucet has no Up/Down lever, but turns to the right to dispense water. And if I let it "snap" back it seems to drip less. Can this unit (Everpure) be disassembled to be cleaned or install new washers?

Go on line to the Winnebago parts catalog. If I remember correctly it is year and model specific. Find it yourself. Print the page and have any Winnie or rv parts place order you one. I go that way all the time so I don't have to tell some counter person what I am looking to get and then get the wrong one two or three times.

The stick house unit was leaking so took it apart (as much as possible) and soaked with CLR - no leaks in 3-4 years. The entire unit is 15'ish dollars at Lowes/Home Depot.

I removed mine and soaked the valve (bottom part) in CLR overnight. Flushed it out, reinstalled and all is well.

Sounds exactly like my situation. Lowes used to have the one with the lever that lifts up just like the one in our stick house but now all they had was one with a knob that looks more like a bathroom faucet handle. I've also wondered if it could be disassembled. As hard as it is to reach from under the sink don't know if I want to remove it, try soaking it in something, then re-install it and have it still leak.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

My unit, with the twist on/off lever, leaked. I called the company & they sent me a new one, with the up/down lever, free. This was in Sep 2007.

Do you remember the contact phone number you used, or if not where did you get this information? I don't remember seeing anything any place about the company or how to contact them.
Appreciate any information you might currently have.

I bought a replacement one that was not an exact match but works better. I found mine at Lowes or Home Depot for $18. It had a little piece of a plastic tube I needed to trim off, but it works and fits perfect. The tubing easily fit to it also.
I just scouted out what the existing one consisted of and made sure I bought one that looked like it worked. The good thing is that you can always return it (before you make any modifications like I did) very easily.
