The one I recieved leaks through the cap. It appears to be mis-threaded, I cannot get it to seal. Is there supposed to be a gasket or something I did

I am afraid mine does the same thing...I bought two of them and experienced the same problem. I have only used one of them so far and was hoping that the other one would not leak. My suspicion was that maybe I over tightened the one that I was using but now I don't know. Please share if you come up with a solution camp girl.

The cap is supposed to act like a seperator of sorts , first make sure the system has zero PSI , or maybe some thing is wrong with the cap ,opening to small or large. Call distributor they have parts and answers

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.

Mine Still works and hasn't leaked. I put grease on the o-rings to help prevent it leaking. If it's within 30 days call the vendor and see if you can get a replacement.

So far, this is the only flaw I've found. The threads on the cap are too flexible and if you over-tighten (like I did) the cap get's stuck or stops threading. So far, I haven't found a good replacement. I'm looking around for a plug instead of a cap, but the opening is a bit odd shaped. I'll let you know if I find an easy solution, but for now I just have a small rag rolled up and jammed in the hole. It's not a solution, but I had work to do. lol

where is the leak in the bottom cap , if so check to see if the gasket is there. and also see if its not ripped/ torn anywheres along the edges . if it the little plunger make sure there is no scale build up on it that might keep it open when you turn the reservoir back over when you carry it . other wise it may have a crack some place .

You want to make sure the cap is sealed tightly before putting the cartridge into the container and screwing it on. If this is what you are doing and your cartridge is leaking, I would say that yes, it is defective.

I had a similar issue with a Rhino tank. However, mine would connect, but it leaked. I bought some yellow gas line tape and wrapped the connection on the tank 3 or 4 times - no more leak issues.

How has it been installed. Mine leaked there until I run the system. There are 3 check valves that open with a screwdriver. Try bleeding them and see if it fixes your problem

If it is a new unit I would try and replace the lid. That is not supposed to leak when you open the co2 cartridge into the unit. Ours just pops out red ring visible but no gas leaks out. Must be a faulty unit. If it developed over time may be the seal is frayed .

Vendor I bought from placed tape on the top cap to prevent spillage, so you just purchased from inexperienced or bad seller. Contact them to complain or ask for refund

I just filled a small ball jar more than 1/2 way with water, tightened the lid and shook the heck out of it. No spills or leaks! Then I set it sort of upside down in a bowl (like it fell over in your bag) - Its been about an hour - no water in the bowl! There is no gasket but I think it'll work.

I've been using my bottle almost 4 times a week. I've never had any leaks with it. Is there a seal under the cap. If so ot may be twisted and not setting.

We had the same problem - evidently we may have waited too long to change the filter and so much pressure built up in the chamber that it ruined the plastic threads in the cap. We had to use some large channel lock pliers to turn the cap out and ruined the threads in the process. We contacted customer support about the problem and they replaced the unit - hope this helps

Hello Vikas, firstly you need to determine the source of the leak. It is most likely from one of the connections. Try to isolate which one. If that is the case you can easily fix it yourself by checking each one and making sure that they are tight. If it is coming from the body of the unit then you should return it because that would mean that the product is defective. The instructions aren't great. I would gladly send you a picture of the unit already connected so that you could see it more easily but I don't think there is a way of attaching a picture to my answer. Best of luck.

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.

Properly tightened with quality gasket should work. Check the mating surface of the valve for smoothness (where it tightens against the gasket). I have used 2 of these valves, and they are flawless. One of the suggestions was thoughtful but incorrect in application (please no offense to Cory. It is great that everyone tries to help). Teflon tape is only to be used on pipe or tapered threads and can only temporarily stop a leak in other applications (if you like, get back to me anytime for details).
