I made my first batch and there's a leak when I pour. is there supposed to be a gasket on the filter?

ensure you have the top turned the right direction. There is a specific way it goes on so it does not leak.

the filter just sits in there. I have never had an issue of it coming out when pouring.

Open the top valve. Also, you may want to drain a couple of cups out of the filter by opening both valves and bending the hose from the lower connection over (this will keep water from pouring when you remove the top). Then, to prime after you put the top back on, open both valves and pour tank water in to the hose to replace what you drained out.I can open mine to remove or add carbon without spilling a drop on the floor. Hope this helps!

not sealing to allow the water to build up steam to force all the water to flow though the center tube. check the gasket on the upper pot where the filter is. hold the bottom securely while using the upper pot to tighten.

I only had that problem once. Make sure you have the filter compartment placed in, wide end ( see pitcher illustration ) to front, and the top must have lid filler end towards the handle. ( the shortened end of lid to the spout)

sometimes mine leaks a little but it's much better than the off brand I got one time...They usually include extra white plastic gasket rings with the packaging- do you have any extras? Maybe the gasket ring isn't seated properly or it came out? If the gasket ring is fine then maybe the threads on the cup or the blade top are damaged?

Mine definitely doesn't leak. Check to make sure the inside valve is locked in place and that the lid is screwed on correctly. If all of those are done then I would request a return/exchange.

I have 2 of these and no leak issues with either. Where is it leaking? If you are sure it's a seal issue, return and get a new one.

Make sure the basket is securely seated before you turn it on. Also I fold the bottom of my paper filter. Ive had it leak a couple of times when I forget to do this but I had the same issue with my Quisinart coffee maker.

Be mindful of the water pressure when you switch over to the filter. The filter will not withstand the same type full-flow as your tap. I had the same leaking problem initially but it took two tightenings (re-seats/slight turns on the bottom) and the leaking stopped for good.

YES! If it is what happened to me it is coming from the lid. All of a sudden our tank leaked and we discovered that the water is traveling from the filter area down the side of the tank. The only way I could resolve this was to not press the lid all the way down - just rest it on top. Bummer cause otherwise I love this tank!

Where is it leaking from? Make sure the filter is in place and the water basin is fitting into the base properly. Otherwise, I would return it because it sounds like you have a defective one.

No it should not leak at all. I would try to re rap the fitting with Teflon tape or pipe dope again to see if that stops it. If you can tell it is coming from the regulator I would send ot back for a replacement.

use two gaskets, then everything will be fine...make sure you put in enough coffee and fill it up to the valve.

My blender never leaks and I've had it over 2 years. You probably didn't put the gasket and blade back on correctly. Make sure you put the rubber gasket on the glass jar first, then the blade then screw on the bottom plastic piece. Hope this helps.

No, I don't think it's normal. Mine was clear first time. My guess is, if you use cloudy water, there is a leak there somewhere, most likely to be the filter elements or the plugs(holes - if you use 2 elements instead of 4) not tight enough. If you use clear water then I'm not sure...if you didn't clean the elements and primed them then may be dusts would have got int there and make it cloudy...I hope this helps

I use white tephlon tape around the threads of the pipe then screw on the filter it has stopped the leaking. Wrap the tape around the threads of the pipe and then screw on your filter. I hope this is helpful.
