Yes, this shampooer leaked after a few uses; it quit working after using it several times in a year. I would not recommend this shampooer.

i haven't had any problem with this. As an FYI DON'T use the Bissell cleaning solution stuff. It WILL plug up the sprayers and something in it's innards. I was able to unclog the sprayers but the the innards had to be fixed by a pro. I am now using an organic alcohol based cleaning solution that is working very well. I don't know if this would void any warranty you may have.

maybe it has different threads? or is it leaking?if it's just leaking use Teflon tape. if it's the threads, home depot might have thread adapters.

Since mine is installed, the main valve has been remained open. If your spray head is leaking, my guess is that you have less than perfect parts and/or the installation was not done properly.

It's been quite a while since I purchased the unit and I can't recall whether it does or not...but I don't recall seeing a one way valve on the compressor or the tank.

I would removed both gasket on each side and do it again and tighten it enough so that it does not leak. If it still leak, go to any hardware store and just get a new gasket.

On most motorhomes there are 2 exit valves. The 3" valve is usually the black (sewer) water and the 1 1/2" valve is usually the grey (sinks, and tub/shower) water. I had a leak in the black water valve but replaced them both since I had it apart anyway.

If you are referring to the valve, you can get a nice stainless one from lowes or any hardware store, take it off and take it with you

You have a bad valve. Online you can find fixes if your willing to take apart and work on it. Probably have sedament it the valve.

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.

That didn't work in my case. I went with a 2 way shut off valve (find them in the garden center of your local box hardware store)

I dont know.what a backfired shut off is, but it is one way valve. Mine works good does not leak.

You can try replacing the Joker Valve. Here's a youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqYkXa5AWe8

You can do a hack and replace the valve that comes on it with one of these. Works awesome for me.Michelin Avenir Dual Head Replacement Bicycle Floor Pump Hose

I took mine apart and put Vaseline around the water inlet fitting, which has done the trick for over six months now. I disconnected the fittings, coated the water line and fitting with Vaseline and reassembled. I asked my local hardware store person about the leaking and he suggested this. It works!

Typically this valve is located downstream from the pump. If it accidentally closed the line while the pump was running, something would likely break. Hopefully something inexpensive.

Make sure your existing gasket that goes under this valve is intact. I had to buy a new gasket . Then liberally lube with silicone grease and screw the cover down.

Sure is -Update 8/2/14 - These leaks can be fixed. Went to Lowes and bought a small plastic fitting and 2 small hose clamps. With a pair of scissors I cut out about 1 ft on either side of the leak. I inserted the fitting, placed the two hose clamps and then secured the open area with duct tape to cover the entire opening.Works fine again for $1.50! Bought two more because I love them.
