I have one of these and absolutely love it....however it leaks on the bottom - where the bottom and sides meet in the seam. Any idea how to fix?

Yes, contact the manufacturer. If you have an Alessi store where you live that might be the easiest. Otherwise, it sounds like a solder, and I wouldn't solder cookery.

Mine doesn't have any leaks. Maybe you got a defected product and probably should contact the store to replace it for you. (Mine doesn't get deflated very often. I mean I inflate it like once a month or once in 3 weeks).

Sorry I've had zero problems with mine. You should be able to get replacement hoses. If it is the hose that split your water pressure exceeds the hose capacity and you would need to reduce it a little. If it is leaking around the connection try taking it off and wrap the connection with plumbers tape or apply plumbers putty and reconnect the hose. Hope this helps

Because it is leaking. I had the same problem and called Hamilton Beach and they are sending me a new unit. Had a choice of whether to wait until the end of the month when they will have a new improved one of the same model or a different model. I chose to go for a different model. All I had to pay is $13.00 for shipping.

I had the exact same issue with mine. Make sure the quick disconnect is seated properly and the hoses aren't kinked. Also, taking out some of the sponges helps a little and increases the flow. That worked for me for a little bit. I eventually filed a warranty claim and within a few days API had sent me a brand new one and it has never leaked. You may need to do the same.

After the first few times you get a good sense as to how it's suppose to fit into the hole. That's where it's leaking from. Try putting the pitcher on without any water in it. That will give you an idea how it sits. I've got it down pretty good now but still have my moments. Once you get it mastered you're going to love it. You'll also find some other oddities along the way unless you use it everyday but I picked up on this right away and no problem now.

I have this facet, I had to tighten the hose so it won't leak. I would call them at Amazon to fine out if its a leak or just need's to be tighten. Or just call Light In The Box they should be able to advise you the route to go.

The quality is very good, mine does leak when it rains or I wash it. I would look into getting new ones or see if you can get thicker weather stripping.

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.

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.

Hope someone has an answer, I have the same problem including one that leaks. What a waste of $$$

Had this issue but found that the rubber seal on the bottom comes loose so take it apart and make sure rubber seal is in the groove and tighten really well

I bought the water bottles for my fiance and asked him if he's had any issues like this. He said he hasn't. You must have got a defective one with a hole or something b/c leaking isn't happening at all with ours. Good luck!

Mine doesn't leak, maybe put some pipe tape around the threads see if that works

There's a square rubber peice in the top of the mag, push it down as much you can. And just play w it a little. It stopped mine from leaking, and works good now!

I also bought mine from Costco. I've had it for over a year with no problem, but it started leaking recently from the bottom of the handle. You should return it for a new one.

You bet it's defective, Our 1st one we have had a year, we have had the 2nd one 7 months, neither on leak so if you can I'd exchange it.
