Sorry to hear that. I just wish all the Omni filter users have a chance to read this post before they go through what we have gone thru.

BTW, I just found out recently that there is a valve down there that could stop the water flow beside the main valve outside. Should I have known it at that time, I would have 15 minutes less of leaking water. A lesson I learnt it the hard way.

Oh snap……had the same thing happen to me last week, the EXACT same thing…..same OmniFilter, same model, same crack right at the base! Wish I would have read this thread two weeks ago!

Thanks for the reply! I’ll cross my fingers that the “ambient smells” in my place will continue to fade.

@Alex Lau: It took few days with so many blowers to dry mine up. Fortunately my insurance company replaced all the carpets as well as the wood floor. Sorry, I don’t have a definite answer for you. Good luck.

Dr. Tanone: Just out of curiosity, were you ever able to get that "old water" smell out of your carpets & base boards?? (A sink leak in the unit upstairs forced me out of my apartment the night before last.) The manager brought in a pair of industrial blowers and I just ordered a dehumidifier from compactappliance.com on rush delivery. Is there any hope?

Sorry to hear your sad story. My insurance tried but recently I was informed that the manufacturer declined their claim. Good luck for your fight in the Court. Please update us with the result later. I think we need to keep this story alive to let other people know what could happen to them if their undersink filter is the same model as this one.
