I have this Interplak for many years. It now leaks all over the sink and does not have the power to floss. What happened and how can it be fixed?

I own a water pic for over 35 years (the same one). Still as strong as ever.

How many years? 3-4 years is about the life expectancy. time for a new one if you're saying "many years."

My experience with these type of devices shows that they become weaker and less effective over time. For me, the reason was the minerals in our hard water would eventually clog the water flow. I was able to run some Lime Away through it and cleaned it out. Of course, you need to rinse the heck out of it to make sure no Lime Away was present. Now I use strictly distilled water in my Interplak and it works as good as new.

I haven't noticed that. I have had mine for over a year. You might try running vinegar through it then lots of water.

Replace the entire unit; at least, that's what the folks at InSinkErator told me. The unit I had did not feature a replaceable connection at the top which is where it leaked.....

We installed & connected everything without an issue - and the entire system has been working flawlessly since it was installed close to a year ago. Something must be wrong - might be time to consider shipping it back or asking them manufacturer to ship out a replacement drain piece. Just an idea. Good Luck!

No my water lines run out side of the pedestal. The "P" trap that came with the sink didn't work or seal at all. I was able to run the drain pipe hidden in the pedestal, however it never stopped leaking. There for I had to purchase a new sink stopper and drain pipe. Not that expensive. Very time consuming.

That doesn't happen to mine. That must be a very annoying problem, though! Perhaps you could try contacting Bodum or Amazon for a replacement?

Try running a tank of vinegar through it. I always use distilled water. If it's over a year old might be time for a new one.

We have had ours for four years. It began leaking last week. Two trips to the big box stores and it turns out the fitting that you need to fix it is not sold in stores. We called on Saturday and were told that it would be overnighted to us. No kitchen sink for 5 days while waiting. Called today and it turns out they don't overnight anything and it is set to be delivered on the 30th. That will make it over two weeks without a kitchen sink. I told them nope. We will never buy another Delta product again. It would be one thing if you could buy the part or even pay to have it delivered more quickly but those are not options.

If you have hard water then it may have clogged up the dispenser nozzle. Try running hot water through the nozzle mechanism with a little soap. Rinse really well.

Yes ours is leaking also, what have you tried? My husband thinks he needs to tork the screws tighter. Wanted me to see if anyone else had this problem and how they fixed it.

Had the same problem with several soap brands. Seems as though the underbody dispenser apparatus gets plugged up and allows the pump to be depressed, but has insufficient spring left to allow it to back come up again: thus you get a short stroke/minimal output problem. I tried cleaning it, oiling it, etc... nothing worked. Just replaced that part from Moen's website. Hopefully its a fluke, because it isn't even a year old yet.

Mine also failed in a few months, possibly because I failed to rinse after using. I called Hudson customer service, and admitted to never rinsing. They were very nice and sent me a free replacement. It was very difficult to install. My husband did it; he's very handy and it took quite awhile. After another two months or so, the on/off switch failed and I gave up and threw it all away.

sorry, I returned my unit because it was leaking everywhere. I never got any further. Perhaps there's dried soap in the nozzle? try a open paper clip and see if there isn't a clog

maybe it has different threads? or is it leaking?if it's just leaking use Teflon tape. if it's the threads, home depot might have thread adapters.

Mine leaked too. I called the manufacturer's customer support phone number and they gave me a new one free. I also had a problem with the soap dispenser. I did the same and they sent me a new one. I must say the customer service is pretty good, but why do we as customers have to go through all of this? They have to improve quality control of their products.

we've had the same issue on rare occassion. I have no idea why it is leaking and we have also checked it, cleaned it, etc. it seems to be more of an issue when it is overly full.
