does the pail leak without the bags just having water in the pail

No! It's just like a Rubbermaid garbage can. The kid clips down tight. I'd image if it was tipped over it would spill fluids. But they would have to be loose like a can of pop

The pail does not have an air tight seal, but you can control the water level.

We use it with a bag and not as a wet pail, but it's pretty sturdy. It would leak out the top if you filled it too high with water as the top is not water tight. But if you are just putting a little bit in it then it should be ok.

I do use bags, but the pail is made like a bucket and wouldn't leak with water in it.

I am not sure what you mean...The bottom part of the pail is solid and would not leak if upright. But where the filter goes, there are little air holes for ventilation (this is in the lid), so if it tipped over, it would leak. Does that help?

Probably not, they have bags that are for this specific pail, they are easy to use.

No it does not. We have seen no leakage either. Would highly recommend this compost.

Mine has a water build up inside that I must dump. I don't have any water leaking out on the counter

I *think* so but am not sure. The base is pretty thick sturdy plastic so it *should* hold water but I'm not sure if it's completely airtight. Sand is denser than water so it would be better to fill it with sand. After we filled ours with sand I don't recall seeing it leak. A bag of sand is pretty cheap from Lowe's.

no it does not leak. It is made of ceramic. Very heavy. I had problem with the pump working if the bowl was less than full

No, it does not include the pail. You need to buy it separately. I like the pail and these refills; it's a hands-free pail which is nice when you have a squirmy infant! However, the plastic pail absorbs odor and smells terrible after a while. After using it for 10 months, our pail smells bad even when there are no dirty diapers in it. I am going to replace the pail soon.

Unfortunately it does not. It is a thin plastic box without proper drainage.

Yes, you'll need to buy two large wet bag liners (one in the pail while the other is on the wash). I bought one here from Kissa. White PUL elastic top. I love this pail! You don't need the plastic disposable liner refill it comes with.

No it does not,but the hole is the size of a 3/4 of a dime,and should not leake

Doesn't appear to leak at all. We absolutely love ours and have had it for 7-8 months now I think. Very heavy duty and great quality.

We've never had a problem with leaking, but there is no drain on the sand side so you'd have to dump the water over the side to empty it

The water does not directly hit the liner, but I have not noticed any leakage

No it hasn't. The only time it has leaked was when one of the spritzers came off. I even dropped one and it was fine. However, I didn't drop it very far.

If the rubber sealant is tightly in place inside the lid, then there is no leaking at all. I filled it with water to test and it did not leak.

Yes. The smaller bags have held their seal longer, but I've generally been having the same issue. It doesn't look like the bags have any punctures or tears, so the problem is either in the valve, or the seal -- the seal itself is not very well-designed, as you keep it very flat to prevent any creases in the seal (which make be a source of leaks). There is a "pincher" tool to help straighten out the seal, but it's not really effective -- a zip-top may have been better. All in all, I would not buy this product again.

Yes it does leak. I will not waste my money on this product. They over sale the ptoduct.
