Anyone had issue with pressure loss from the top cover (yellow lid) molding seams? Heard/confirmed in water bath air leakage/bubbles. Defective?

I had air loss with a new one. After I seal it the air escapes from the top. Couldn't find the hole, but the air is escaping. I have another TBS tha does not leaks air.

I have not had molding seams. However, I don't use the tennis ball saver much. I didn't find much difference between using it and just keeping the balls in the original can. I do make sure that whichever one I use, I bring the balls inside, don't leave them in the car, particularly in cold weather.

I had pressure loss from a ball saver that was about 2 yrs. old. I immediately ordered another unit as it kept my balls in bouncy condition. this could also be due to a leaky gasket. Call the co. & see if they've had other complaints. I use mine 7 days a week & love it. It's made in the USA.

I've had mine for months, the gasket seems fine. What can happen is that air escapes if the seal on the compressor, for lack of a better term, is not seated properly. I run the bead that contacts the container under the tap to moisten it. This insures a proper seal with no air escaping. As an aside, gaskets can be hsd very inexpensively.

I am having the same problem with mine. My friend tested it and found it works okay at some water pressures but not others.

I have not had any issues with it so far. Check the seal and make sure you secure the lid before using. If it continues to leak, contact Ninja for a replacement. Hope that helps.

I dont think it is normal, but i hear this particular item has this flaw compared to other models. I started to double check the rubber ring and the lid for any food debris left, and normally the leaking didnt happen. Hope you try that.

I have not had a problem with it leaking water but the seams are not sealed. It's a great box overall and has come in very handy for me.

Make sure the opening is tightly closed. put soapy water on it to see if it leaks. Bubbles should show if there is a leak. We didn't have any trouble with our two chairs. Love them!!!

I haven't had that problem. Mine works fine and I've had it quite a while now. Are you blowing the water that gets in out the top? I don't dive down with it; I just swim laps.

Check the O-ring. Also watch for cracks in the "U" tube along the seam as it will suck air and cause the GPH to go way down. Mine started to suck air along the seam shortly after getting it. I contacted AquaClear and they wanted me to purchase a new one even though it was less than 3 months old and still under warranty. Terrible customer support. I avoid AquaClear (and all Hagen) products like the plague now. Both my 30 and 70 models have the same issue and now sit in the very box they came in.... sadly I purchased nearly $200 in filter supplies/media for these as well. I just cut the stuff open and use it in my new filters. Return it if you can.

I have not experienced this problem, but check if the steam is actually being vented from the relief valve. I own two of these espresso makers, the first one purchased 2 years ago from Sur La Table, the other purchased recently from Amazon. The one more recently purchased has issues with steam leaking from the valve. My first one never did this. If the steam is, in fact, leaking from the gasket, don't over tighten, but rather reseat the gasket and see if that works. If it doesn't replace the gasket with a new one. If that doesn't work, there may be an issue with the fit of the top and bottom parts and the espresso maker should be returned for a replacement.

I have had mine for almost 6 months without a drop of leaking. Perhaps try reassembling it.

I haven't had a problem with UV damage and it's exposed to the strong So. Cal. sun all year round. My problem has been slight stress cracks from the weight of the water. I had a crack almost immediately after installation and Spalding sent me a free replacement. Now three years later I have a slight leak again. I would suggest filling with sand so leaks won't be an issue.

I haven't had that problem with mine, maybe just make sure the plastic seal on covers are secure

It is not defective, but it is very difficult to get the cover open. I just openned in less that a hour but I could not tell you what I did. it just suddenly oppened. Try to knock it gentlely, pray and do not curse. Luck.Nelson

mine had no seal with it and i haven't had any leaks yet. used it all summer with a lot of rain , maybe it's your rubber seal that it sits on that needs replaced.

I would say SOL. You may have broken the gasket on the rear door which may have caused a leak. I had an earlier version which went in about the same way you described with screen failure. I did not take mine underwater however. I would look into sturdier models which may have extended warranty periods. You should seek out other opinions. I did purchase this model again but will not subject it to water.

I'm not sure what you mean. Did something happen to the gasket on yours or does it just leak? Mine retains liquid every time something is poured from it. It is a huge flaw in this product, wish I could find a new cover that fit and didn't leak.
