Is it supposed to leak at both ends? Installed per instructions but both ends leak way too much for my liking. Might need to send it back.

Did you use white pipe tape on the spout where you connected your showerhead?

The only leak we experience with ours is when we turn the shower off. It seems to be from the remaining water in the pipes. I assume, since you said you installed as as per instructions, you did use plummets tape. That would be the only reason I would think it would leak, if that wasn't used.

i won,t say there is no problem but... i,m a retired contractor of 35 years i have one in my personal shower and its the 2nd one i have had put the first one in 20 years ago . put new one on just about 2 months ago only because new up grades has thomb control. if you used tapr that comes with-or pipe dope should./ i love this because im,6/2 & my wife is 5 ft. & cane change spray very easy Hope that helped be sure to tighten well.

No. The shower head might be loose and should only be hand tightened, the water connection may be missing a rubber gasket similar to your garden hose and also should only be hand tightened.

Had absolutely no problems...and I am 71 yrs. old & installed it myself, using plumbers tape of course.

I think it is worth trying to get another one, because this is an awesome shower head

I think a little leaking is normal, make sure the container of water is securely on the base. I set mine on a towel just in case but I haven't noticed much leaking.

I have not had an issue with leaking yet. Have been using one for about a two weeks so sorry will know more in a month or so.

So far ours is not leaking. That said it was only installed 2 months ago. Thanks for the heads up about this potential issue. I'll keep an eye on it and update my review if it becomes a problem.

Not specific enough to answer. Is the leak coming from the unit, or external to the unit. If from the unit, call Rinnai and get the names of authorized Rinnai installers who should be more familiar with Rinnai products.

I have two of them and neither leak. I have had one for a year and clean it monthly and the other about 3 months now. No leaks from either one.

make sure it is threaded on right mine will leak if not on correctly otherwise works great do you have the white colored inside part screwed on tight ?? that will cause it to leak it may be defective but I had to redo the white insert because I didn't have it on tight and it leaked all over redid it and no leaks at all used all winter with no problems

To be honest, Mine leaks a little when my son takes his dog upstairs and uses it to wash/rinse her with it!. So since mine faucet is kind of square, this end is more round, so I believe that is why mine leaks a tad. It is useable, that is why I did not return it, I don't use it on a daily basis. The seller is very easy to work with, so I would either contact them, or just order - try it & if not right return for exchange or refund. Sorry I could not be of more help!

same happened to me as well. I'm returning it for another reason though which is it leaks from everywhere!

My first one leaked like yours. I threw it away and bought a new one. The new one has not leaked I would say return it!

Ours quit leaking just like the instructions said it would after about 3 days. I am thinking you might have a bad barrel.

Possibly a defective unit? I think if you have good connections that do not leak, beyond that I would return the unit for another one. My unit has worked great from day 1.Good Luck, Dan

Mine did that too, at first. I found I did not have it seated properly. Once I had it fitted correctly it never leaked again.

I bought mine new too and it doesn't leak. If that is the case, I might consider returning it. However, the plug is tricky to get into place and the first time, I actually didn't have it all the way in. I would double check that the plug is pulled all the way through the bottom. There is a little lip on the plug that will come out the button and be firmly in place to the plastic base. Hope this helps!

Hi Vikas, i had that same problem in the beginning, I changed the hose and it still happened but it wasnt drastic, i tightened the hose and since its been fine with no problems. Not sure where it is leaking from but check the hose connections, I hope this helps.

I am not sure, but I am having a similar problem also mattres has been fine in every way holding air and firm, but in the past two days it keeps looking air similar to yours leaking on one side and eventually goes down completely. Guess we both need to figure it out unfortunately cause I really like it a lot.
