have you improved the drain system, the one i need to replace has a drain plug with a U shape pin that holds (not) the plug in place, and it leaks.

From what I've learned you can either permanently seal this to prevent it from leaking, and then you don't have a drain valve to keep it from freezing again (could have been what caused the leak in the first place), or you can replace the water pump that comes with a drain plug that shouldn't leak. This is a pricey fix but is one step better than replacing the entire unit.

I am not sure we used this unit in Honduras and replaced this with a electric unit after installing a generator

Do not know because it arrived with a bad sensor and the tech's at Bosch sent the wrong sensor and then argued about it for awhile. Have not even been able to use it for going on two weeks. Bosch seems to be going down hill.

Same drain system as usual, but never had a leak issue... Check and make sure the o ring is in good shape and push the plug in tight before reinstalling the u shaped pin...

Sorry, I'm unable to answer your question. We just installed the heater last week. No problems.

So far ours is not leaking. That said it was only installed 2 months ago. Thanks for the heads up about this potential issue. I'll keep an eye on it and update my review if it becomes a problem.

I had the exact same issue with mine. Make sure the quick disconnect is seated properly and the hoses aren't kinked. Also, taking out some of the sponges helps a little and increases the flow. That worked for me for a little bit. I eventually filed a warranty claim and within a few days API had sent me a brand new one and it has never leaked. You may need to do the same.

I suggest removing the plug and reinstalling the plug. We haven't had any issues with leaking.

Mine leaks as well - check the lid and see if the silicon ring is missing or damaged. I believe that's the cause for my leak. Still checking to see if I can replace that part...

Return the unit. I have two Sharp units and they do not leak, nor required such frequent draining.

In mine, the rubber washer was not fully inside the female end, and water came out there, but the fix was easy. That is the usual place for leaks - at the connection points.

Possibly a defective unit? I think if you have good connections that do not leak, beyond that I would return the unit for another one. My unit has worked great from day 1.Good Luck, Dan

we've had the same issue on rare occassion. I have no idea why it is leaking and we have also checked it, cleaned it, etc. it seems to be more of an issue when it is overly full.

A plastic coupler...use the old one or get a new one....Hope this helps...If your existing fauset is leacking, disconnect the drain line and clean the inside..stuff from the garbage disposal can plug the drain line causing faucet to leak....

read the instruction manual. there will be a section on this. i believe there's a "cap" that needs to be removed first. but it's likely you do not have the drain hose LOWER than the unit so it cannot flow correctly.

Did you check if maybe you overfilled the unit? If not, than maybe you should return for a new one. I have had mine for 6 months and i have never had a leak. So maybe your unit could be defected?

Where exactly is it leaking, the hose connections? Did you use plumbers seal tape on the connectors? If not, you need to wrap the threads with it then screw on the hoses or you will get leaks.

Yes, mine has a pin hole in the cap and mine does not leak. Maybe yours is faulty

It was an issue for me too. I tried putting the outside washer on the inside, but it still leaked....so I siliconed it to the top seems to be a fix

I am glad to see someone else has this problem! I have had mine replaced 4 times! Did you ever get yours working? I had an old model for 10 years that never leaked, so I know what I'm doing. Frustrating.

My first one leaked like yours. I threw it away and bought a new one. The new one has not leaked I would say return it!
