In one write up, I saw there were some gaskets involved. Where are they? and are they effective in keeping the unit from leaking? Many thanks.

They go on inside and outside of nozzle. No leak issues after several uses.

Gaskets are on the spigot. We used the unit for a wedding & were pleased with the separate ice 'chilling' compartment as the drinks stayed cold on the 3 occasions used. No leaking at all. Attractive & well balanced unit.

gaskets are used near inside and out side of nozzle and it does not leak.....not one drop.

They are in the spigot. We've used it a few times and have not had any leakage problems.

I did not put it together but my brother did and followed the directions. Since I have had it there have been no leaks. I don't know if the gaskets were involved but if you follow directions it works great.

Have had no problem with leakage so far on the two units purchased around last June (2013) for my large pool. I suspect you received a defective unit, or it was damaged somehow compromising the seals. Suggest you send back for replacement if possible.

Mine leaks too at the shut-off valve. I had the washers in place and I believe they were rightly used. It seems that there is another washer below the hex nut (which is not visible) and in my case perhaps that washer has issues. I can see water coming out from below the hex nut.I tried several times but could not stop the leakage. I am returning this piece and ordering another one. Let's see how is the other one.

They are out of business. I had one of these and it died the third time I used it so I called the company and they are not taking orders or giving any service....If you still want a gasket I would look on ebay.Good luck

I try to replace them every 6 months. They are expensive but better than drinking bad water. Unfortunately there is no gage or monitor for this system. Also, use extreme caution in installation. They can leak if not perfectly seated on the gasket ring. The leak will be explosive, not slow.

I had a similar problem with a Bunn. It was a bad gasket. Question is: How bad is the leak? If it is mild, I would not worry about it. If you are having to clean up a large mess each time I would look for someone who services this make of machine.

I have two of these. All of the connections are sealed with rubber gaskets. Mine have gotten wet and one has been totally submerged when dropped in a water trough. Both of them still function fine. Mine did not come in any sort of packaging, so I don't know what the package says. Just my experience.

I was having the same problem with mine leaking dirty water all over the floor and, determined not to let the thing beat me, I fought with it. I found that the black gasket that is supposed to be at the junction between the collection tank and the machine was stuffed up inside the tube and was therefore simultaneously preventing proper suction and preventing dirty water from getting into the tank. I pulled out the gasket and put it back in its proper place and Presto! It is perfect again. Just thought I would post this in case someone else was having the same problem. It was easily fixed for me once I realized what was wrong.

Mine leaked. You might need new gasket rings. Mine always broke and didn't seal completely.

Gas leak? Water leak? You haven't given us a lot to work with here. I don't mean to be flip, but the first thing you should do is find another plumber.

I've had the same problem! It's impossible to get the water out too! Could there be a missing gasket? If you get an answer, please let me know. Thanks!

i'm not sure what you mean. My lids you kind of press down in the middle when you put it on and it seals really tight. I don't see any gaskets though, although the sides of the lid are double lipped if that makes sense.

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 .

I have 2 of these and no leak issues with either. Where is it leaking? If you are sure it's a seal issue, return and get a new one.

mine come with gaskets. Have not had to replace them yet. It has been a few months.

I agree with the other 2 answers...Not cost effective to repair. If the basket leaks around the gasket, the repair would be a temporary fix. This model is one of the best made. Try ebay or Amazon

You should write to the company you bought it from... there is a section where you can contact the seller and let them know, I'm sure it was a mistake and they will send you the gaskets for free. Mine had them.
