When I replace the 3 gal. bottle it overflows. It seems that there is too much water in the cooler. Is there a trick to this?

Yes, there is a reservoir so you need to make sure that it is completely empty before replacing with a new bottle.

There is a small vented plug on the neck of the dispenser where you put the water bottle which I removed. Now the water no longer overflows when I replace the bottle.

Hi there,Thanks for getting in touch. The bottle should not leak. This may indicate that you are in need of a cap replacement. Please feel free to visit our website www.hydroflask.com and submit a Lifetime Warranty request. We will happily send you a new cap which should fix the problem!Thanks!

Likely you need the carbonator replaced. Go to Target and exchange for a full one. The bottle has to be twist on and it has to be the specific type that came with the unit.

I have one of the old style waterers & replaced a cracked bottle with a household bottle but it was 3 gal size not 5 gallon, it has worked fine

It appears to be a proprietary connector on the bottleneck. As previously commented, I just use my bottle to make the fizzy water then pour it into a Sigg bottle.

Do you have a good seal on the bottle? It should be very snug. I had one bottle that I had to use one of the rubber adapters with, but most fit perfectly. Pam

I had one that did the same thing that I finally had to throw away and buy a new one. Thankfully they don't cost to much. Anyway's just be sure the cap is screwed on tight and maybe pour out some of the nectar so there's not so much overflow. If it keeps leaking then it's just the cause of a bad feeder and you will have to buy a new one. I've had about 5 of them and I only had one that leaked bad. Goodluck!

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.

I haven't had any problems with it. Maybe you have a bad bottle or maybe it's not settled in correctly. If you have not already, try changing it. Hope this help.

Have you tried reducing the amount of liquid you put in? I noticed that CO2 would eject through the hole on the neck of the bottle if I had the water level too high. Was pretty simple to cope with. Beyond that, there shouldn't be any other quirks. If they continue, I would contact amazon or the mfctr to see about a replacement unit. We really do love ours.

It might be the chemist of your water. My trailer is not large and only holds 11 gallons of fresh water so I use two 5 gallon water bottles to fill my tank with reverse osmosis water. It seems to help

Looks like the "floor" of the cooler might have enough clearance for them. Alternately, the shelves in mine may be pulled out to make room for larger bottles. My cooler has 7 removable shelves per side, and they slide in and out easily. As Mr. Gordon suggested, perhaps contact the mfr directly.

Make sure you unscrew it all the way to loosen it before you mount it onto your bottle. Don't over tighten it. It just needs to be snug.

I flushed the radiator and block, and started over with clean half water half antifreeze mixture and added the K Seal to the radiator. It worked that way for me. I didn't try adding to the overflow tank.

This is what I did. I poured a small amount of oil into the top area where the stopper feeds into the bottle. I slowly tried to move the stopper so the oil could get in between the glass. Eventually the oil will loosen the stopper. About once a week I try to make sure that this area is oiled up so that it doesn't happen again.

No! That is absolutely NOT normal. It must have leaked (this happened to me once). Contact the company through amazon and they will send you a refund. They need to figure out a better way to ship these bottles to prevent leakage!!

Hi, I had the same problem for a few days.....finally I thought and thought and realized that the process works on vacuum seal. I majorly tightened the lid and the thing stopped overflowing! They should tell us that. Hope yours works well.
