My bottle cap leaks. Without replacing the bottle cap, how can I re-seal it? There's no other damage to the cap, can I just apply some silicon seal?

I have found an excellent replacement for the original gasket- McMaster Carr part number 9396k217. They come 5 to a pack and cost $5.46 for the pack. It's a silicone o-ring that fits perfectly and seals better than the original gasket. order from: McMaster.com

I would contact Klean Kanteen. This sounds like a warranty issue. Flat cap should not be leaking.

We do not have the silicone gaskets to replace on the cap. Here is the information I found from Klean Kanteen: The silicone disk can loosen with time, which allows liquid to escape through the small vent hole. To remedy this, try pulling the disk off, cleaning it with warm, soapy water, then popping it back on to the adapter. You might also need to replace the silicone ring on the inside of your cap. Call customer service at (800) 767-3173 ext. 319 for information on how to get a new silicone gasket for your cap.

Hi Jen, With our product, the seal is on the outside of the bottle on the cap. There is not a seal on the inside of the bottle. There is extra padding in the cap that can appear like a seal, but no seal under the cap. Your bottles sounds like they are normal. Please let us know if you have any other questions. You can contact us via email through Amazon or via phone at 800-913-2116 and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. Thanks, Health Plus Prime Team

We had the same problem - evidently we may have waited too long to change the filter and so much pressure built up in the chamber that it ruined the plastic threads in the cap. We had to use some large channel lock pliers to turn the cap out and ruined the threads in the process. We contacted customer support about the problem and they replaced the unit - hope this helps

Looks like the lid gasket is either worn or was sized wrong. If it's new they should send you a new one, otherwise you can look into getting a new gasket. Something that might work is adding layers of Teflon tape around the current gasket until it stays on, but note that whatever material you use could end up leaching into your beverage if the liquid contacts it.

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

It is not normal for the bottle to leak at all. Sometimes water can get trapped in the threads and get squeezed out when the lid is tightened. Make sure its not just that residual water from the threads and then return it.

We apologize about the seal not sealing properly. We recently realized this problem and are currently fixing it. You can be assured that bottle has not been tampered with. The lid/seal manufacturer assured us they would seal over time, but we were misinformed. We are working diligently on this and again, we apologize.

So far, this is the only flaw I've found. The threads on the cap are too flexible and if you over-tighten (like I did) the cap get's stuck or stops threading. So far, I haven't found a good replacement. I'm looking around for a plug instead of a cap, but the opening is a bit odd shaped. I'll let you know if I find an easy solution, but for now I just have a small rag rolled up and jammed in the hole. It's not a solution, but I had work to do. lol

Mine came with a seal cap when I bought it in 2012. I hadn't used it since then, so I went to my garage to check on it. There was some dried product under the cap, so I cleaned it out with a screwdriver. Once I removed the dried material the rest of the product in the tube was still wet and usable.

I have had to get new bottles. There may be a way to rework the bottle top, but I don't know how. The refills are readily available tho.

Mine did the same thing. I tried to submit a warranty claim and was told this is not covered. They did however send me a one time courtesy replacement water bottle. The replacement arrived with the cap already broken. They do sell replacement parts, including caps on their website, but they are pretty pricy compared to the price of a whole new bottle. Good luck!

Is it leaking the 'air' at the point where the aluminum bottom threads into the black top? If so, I would (which you may have already tried) try to make sure that the inner "straw/stem" piece is seated/centered properly and the top is as snug (without breaking it, obviously) as you can get it. I've had the situation - where mine also leaked as it was pressurized and I had to take the top back off and re-seat the stem piece. Now that I'm more careful to make sure it's seated right, I haven't had any more trouble (and I use it all the time). Also, make sure there is no debris that may be keeping the seal from seating properly. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Obviously, it is an issue based on others responses. However, I have purchased 2 of these same bottles and have not had any leakage problems. I did read a review once from an individual who suggested that making sure the back hinge of the cap is lined up with the measurement marks of the bottle, somehow, prevents it from leaking. I always place the cap on in that manner and believe that to be true--as strange as it sounds. See if that works.

I just put water in it, put the cap on, and shook it. It doesn't leak. Unless you squeeze it, then it will leak.

Same issue here... In the process of cleaning it out, I saw that the small plastic ring had fallen off and was at the bottom of the bottle. I reattached it and Viola! It started working again!

If you are out of warranty and the leak is internal, send it back for reconditioning. If the external tank is leaking, Capresso has replacements. Check their website and call customer service.
