Is the hole in the center of the top section sealed upon order of a new unit, or does it come already opened (i.e. will I need to purchase a "cap")?

It comes sealed, you have to knock it out when you get it. If you choose to do that.

The hole is sealed.if the want it open you need to knock it out. No cap is necessary.

If I remember correctly, the top is sealed, but able to be punched out to allow for the insertion of the drain pipe. Hope this helps.

The hole in the center does not come already open. You punch out the plastic for the that section if needed for your project. You should not need to purchase a cap.

I bought this for my mother because I liked the black one I have. I believe you click the top portion down or trust it. What looks like a cap is not ment to be removed to cover the top.

Sorry, I didn't experience such a problem. I just turned the top and it opened up. Perhaps running hot water around the rim of the cap might help.

It comes with a top cap to seal the top opening. I sprayed mine with waterproofing spray, works great. I would not fully immerse it in water but it sheds rain just fine. As comfortable and adjustable as many $500 civilian packs.

there is a seal, but it gets unstuck sometimes during the delivery probably because of all the shaking....the seal is probably stuck to the bottom of the cap...should be fine

A cap does not come with this item. But in my opinion it does not look bad when the hook is down and flush with the whole unit.

The one I received was brand new in packaging. Make sure you purchase a "new" one and not a "used" one.

YES, I CALLED !!! Place 2 of the flat lids on till sealed then remove the top one and you will have a tight seal. I wanted it for that reason, and was down to the last ok to buy it She I saw your question and the answers you were getting. I STOPPED RIGHT THERE, AND CALLED. I have bought mine.

No. The unit is not sealed. The filter slides out for easy servicing (See the picture).

I just received a new one today from Amazon and the top does not seal at all. The lid fell off in the shipping box. Am returning it for replacement and hoping that the next one seals properly, otherwise I'll have to purchase it somewhere where I can test it before buying.

Mine came packaged new. If yours was not packed, something is wrong and you should complain to the seller; unless you purchased one used.

When I got mine from Amazon no seals were on the cap but it was packaged and sealed in the box the bottle came in..

There is a rubber seal for the lid. You can remove it if necessary. Now the question is: where does one order this seal...

It's sealed. In all honestly. I would not buy it. It didn't find u see my seat and I can't return it so I've got a 80 dollar door stop.

Yeah, it comes packed with a non-vented cap, I'm guessing so it doesn't leak in shipment. Take it off as well as the cellophane, and replace it with the vented cap after you add water. You can throw the "shipping cap" away.

No plug. the opening has mesh across it to prevent debris from entering. I see no way to seal the hole on the top.
