Why does my Camelbak Eddy leak when it's hot?
738237
When it's hot, the air inside your bottle becomes pressurized, which forces water up the straw and out the bite valve. This is why CamelBak does not recommend the Eddy while flying or with carbonated beverages.

A couple of questions:How old is your bottle?? Often you can get "material" in the various seals which can affect the closure seals. Please check out the bite nipple and clean because you can have some serious "science" experiments.How full do you fill your bottle??I found a little bit of air space stops any possible leaks. I often flip my bottle over and shake it vigorously because you have water in the straw that needs to be drained to ensure minimal leaking.The main thing is that the Camelback bottles will not be as watertight as a screwed top without any drinking straw. I wouldn't trust my bottles if they were on their side without a bit of leakage...Good luck A couple of questions:How old is your bottle??

Mine also leaks. I keep it upside down off the ground about 12" with the zipper down. At least it keeps the bugs out. I too am not happy as it was advertised as waterproof.

I have had no problem with the Osprey cap leaking if it is put on without cross threading. That being said, I find it very difficult to screw it on correctly. The retaining ring with keeps the cap attached to the hydration bag binds somewhat when you try to screw on the cap. It can look like it is screwed on correctly, but if you tilt it, it will be obvious if it is not.

I have had mine for 6 months or better now. Works fine in very hot and very cold weather. No issues at all with road trips either. It does leak slightly on the side where 2 pieces come together in heavy rain but that's my only complaint.

Mark as defective and exchange or return it. Mine did not leak at all. It just couldn't keep anything hot.

What I noticed on mine is that there is a spring loaded lip on back of the machine that is meant to divert leaks of water from the join on the lead to the drip area. This water is to be routed back but instead leaks to where the warmers are and when full leaks out of the machine

Yes, mine has a pin hole in the cap and mine does not leak. Maybe yours is faulty

I have not had this problem. When it is turned on and getting warmed up it will some times drizzle out from where the coffee comes. But my machine hasn't leaked.

I suggest removing the plug and reinstalling the plug. We haven't had any issues with leaking.

Mine does not leak unless the cooler tips so water leaks through the zipper. I'm happy with mine!

Sorry, can't help you there. I've never had a leaking problem with my MaxExtract. Maybe the seals have dirt around them not allowing the device to seat smoothly into the track? Are the seals dried out? If so; try a thin layer of any brand extra virgin olive oil on them. Be sure to let it set a while before gently rubbing it off, though. If the seals are too bad, then look in your manual and see about replacing them.

I have a 40 oz Hydro Flask with the lid/straw attachment and I have not experienced any problems with leaking while the attachment is in the closed position. If yours leaks, you may have a faulty attachment.

Mine does that if I movenit without filling draining it. It stops though. For me its only happened when I have traveled with it.

You can also contact Camelbak and tell them how yours is defective and leaking and they will send you a new one, they have great customer service.

Mine dripped once in awhile also, but I found if I pulled the handle to completely off it would stop. It rarely does it now, other than that I don't know.

Two things to check if this happens - make sure that the rubber washers in the connectors are seated tightly and properly for optimal seal. Secondly, you must tighten the plastic connectors a bit more than 'hand tight' - use a 'channellock' pliers to gently tighten both the top and bottom connectors for optimal seal. There should be no water leaks once you've taken these two easy steps.

Peter is right, it drips out, probably because there are not enough threads to keep it from not leaking.
