I give up. The DuPont faucet filter had the same problems that all the other ones did; roughly one out of four filters worked properly, and the rest lasted a week or less

I'm not sure if there's a single valve, but there's a single control - a lever that you move left, right, forward and back to control temperature and flow.
Maybe the problem is because we have a coil hot water system, instead of a tank.
When I first saw this post I thought that you were creating a LiveJournal filter to talk about water... like, water-quality issues or wastewater or something like that.

It's definitely not a ruptured cartridge, because the problem is the opposite: instead of a too-fast flow, the flow trickles away to nothing. My best guess is that hot water has fused the carbon, or something like that.
Maybe the problem isn't that hot water is flowing through the filter, though. Maybe the filter is just heated up too much when I turn on the unfiltered hot water?
The thing is, we've seen this same problem with several different brands of faucet filters, so something is definitely wrong!

I had no idea that RI water was notoriously bad!
