Do these nozzles start leaking and dripping all over the place?

We've only been using one of the bottles for a month or two and so far, they are not leaking. They are better at focused streams of water than big mists of water.

No, mine haven't and I've had them for months. The only thing I have noticed is if knock them off a shelf sometimes the lid will loosen and drip a bit. Either tightening them more in the first place or doing it after knocking them over should resolve that though.

Leaking isn't a problem, before they break they have a great spray. Unfortunately they break right away. Poor construction where the top is pressed into the part that screws to the bottle. It too easily pops out and you can't press it back together again. This is the problem.

Great question, why yes they do! I tried 2 (out of three) and both leaked. Turn them on the side or upside down, I had leaks from the connection of the sprayer to the screw on cap. Unfortunately, it can't be remedied. They mist well, but if you want to store liquid, probably not a great idea. Good value. but you get what you pay for sometimes.

Yes, all 3 bottles leaked. Each had a rubber ring, which I took out to inspect and put back. They leaked before I inspected them. Tilt the bottle, and they leak. They are made in China.

I bought a pack of three and only 1 of my bottles work as it should. The other is a leaky mess and the other does not screw on correctly. All do not leak, but one of them do.

Yes. Get yourself a 1/4 inch ID 3/8 OD rubber o-ring. Remove the cap, put the o-ring just over the cone section, and then put the cap back on. That fixed it for me.

Haven't had any issues yet. (owned product for a few months and use weekly)

Yep, I just got these and they leak all over the place when not upright. Going to try jtrumpio's solution.

I washed mine after the first summer they were out but by the end of the second summer they were all leaking. I don't know if that's because I washed them or they would have done that anyway.

I have 2 and use them frequently and have no problems with them leaking - very pleased.

I never noticed any of mine dripping. But please don't buy this model; I repeatedly took mine apart & cleaned it, and tried many many things, but could never get the awful smell out. Couldn't have been healthy.

The nozzle is actually in two pieces, so it can leak if the pieces aren't screwed into each other tight enough. I would suggest tightening them by hand before each use.

I never had an issue with them leaking and I used them everyday for six months. The only problem would be if they are overly full then frozen, the top won't stay on then. Just don't fill to the very top.

I have two and they are not that new. The output nozzle is about 3" long from the top of the unit. This is plenty for my use and I don't have any problems with them. I hope this helps.

Hello. I've not experienced any leaking cartridges myself after using several dozen, but I appreciate the note of caution.

They do. The installation is easy you just loosen the screw that holds the nozzle in place, remove the old one and install the new one by tightening the screw with the new one in. It only takes a few seconds.

This has not been a problem. There seems to be a magnetic attachment inside the nozzle.

Mine don't either. I just screw them on tight and they don't leak--seal zone or not.

I have never had leak problems in the least with these feeders - except when I go from the kitchen to the yard and I tip it. But when it hangs for the birds, no leakage at all. Are you making sure the two main pieces are tightly clasped together, and that there is no damage (e.g., cracks, etc.) in the plastic? And I strongly prefer these to the bottle feeders in terms of cleaning and maintenance.

I have had them for 6 months. No leaks other than a drop that may be there after pumping that you don't wipe off.

I have not had any leaking. I remove both tanks when emptying dirty water and go ahead and refill water reservoir at the same time. Other than that I have had no issues.

I haven't had problems with leaks yet. My kids love these...don't fill them up all the way otherwise when u close them it will spill over.

According to my daughter, they do! In my experience after time and the dishwasher, they start having some leaking issues. But she says they are great so far!!!

sorry, I returned my unit because it was leaking everywhere. I never got any further. Perhaps there's dried soap in the nozzle? try a open paper clip and see if there isn't a clog
