I have two crocks and the spouts on both are extraordinarily slow. Can anyone comment on the speed of dispensing with this spout?

I have not used this spout yet. Bought it for a Berkey as a backup. Sorry I can't help you on this question.

It can be a little more complicated that "unscrew counterclockwise." I found that only worked on some of the bottles. If you find that your unscrewing and unscrewing and nothing is happening, it's because the inner ring in the cap that holds the threads is rotating with the spout. Fortunately, that inner ring stands proud of the cap, so you can grab it with a pair of pliers and then unscrew the spout just fine. The pliers might not be necessary, but found it too small and too smooth for my big fingers.

Besides being poorly designed, it may be clogged with grounds. Mine would dispense slowly and that was the cause.

I needed to send this one back. The first time I used it it didn't work. It ran at first and quit shortly after I began mixing. Since I used it with the outlet near the sink I did a test and no change. I tried it in different outlets but that didn't make a difference. Not sure of the speed, sorry.

It is a bit slow but does the trick. I've made a very large quantity of potatoes without issue. Hope this helps.

My old version did, that is why I went to the new model. The new model does not run the rubber tube through the spout any longer. I seemed to be deteriorating over time, so the new version corrects that problem.

The spout on this separator is difficult to clean. The opening narrows toward the bottom and requires real effort to clean. However, the wide top and overall performance outweighs the cleaning difficulty.

I bought 2 of them, the one I have in use is working great (for over a year now) My Crock is almost 1/2" thick & the stem of the valve had plenty of length. The Diameter of the threaded part is 3/4" & the length of the threaded part is 1" (although the last 1/16" is not threaded so one might say you have 11/16" to work with). I'm happy with my valves (one of them is just a back-up, because the cost was not much more & I was already having to pay for shipping). You might want to use just a little vaseline to lube the gasket, but maybe that was a waist on my part. Best to you. Adios.

It is my understanding that it takes a week or so to really get working. But it is also my experience that it is better on the leaking issue than it is on the quantity issue. Hope it all works out!

No it is not really fast. It clogs periodically and leaks some black stuff. Hope this helps.

I've never timed it but it does take awhile. I fill the top at night and have water in the morning.

Mine does that too....I have had it for quite awhile and it works great. I think it has to do with the dispensing system, a "ball" of sorts that goes up and/or down as the water goes up the tube and out the spout.

Had the trickle problem as well however it was intermittent. On our dispenser the handle can be rotated when it is in the down position. This rotation was slowly causing the nut that began flush against the dispenser base to slowly unscrew and prevent the handle from moving to the complete down position. We used pliers to screw it back down and it helped.

it is plastic and the flow was very slow, so I dip from the top (I make kombucha in it). The glass bit is thick and sturdy....the spigot is not terrific.

I haven't opened the 3 pack yet; I had purchased two other singles; I'm working with them and so far so good, they are lasting longer. Thank you for checking. If anything changes, I'll let you know. I am adding additional comment after reading other answers: No problem with SLOWNESS. I do as the others stated, I fill 2 25oz bottles to take to work, and fill the pitcher container before I go. On the weekends, I have not noticed it moving slowly - I would say normal - within a 1-2 minutes I have a full container.

I use an Ohio crock with a spigot near the bottom of the 3 or 4 gallon crock. I set it on top of another 3 gallon regular crock (set upside down). It works great and a half gallon canning jar as well as just about any size pitcher fits under the spigot. It works so much better than the large water machine I'm glad it broke. Just remember to clean the crock and entire bottle, etc. when you change the water filters. We are more than happy with it. No more bending over to get water to cook with.

I concur with most of the others here regarding the time. It takes mine almost exactly 5 minutes to fill the tank from empty to 180psi (I never go the full 200).
