I'm having a gigantic hot water leak in one of the connections above the water heater that's causing mildew. It started when I finally got fast hot water response in my shower. No one is claiming responsibility for this so that it can get repaired under warranty. BTW; my copper line is new!

We use this at or vacation cabin and have never had a problem. This includes the fact that I must drain and refill it often. Do you have a fitting that let's air in on the supply line? The tank of the heater is flexible and needs air when you drain it.

No downstream leaks here. I can't imagine what would cause that other than age and corrosion on the line.

I have not had any of those issues personally. I only have the cold water hooked up at the moment because my bathroom is set up in an odd way so hooking up the hot is a bit tricky....we'll get to that eventually :) But for now, just using the cold water feature, my husband had no problem installing and there is no issue with fit or length of bolt for us. I couldn't reccomend this product more highly. I hope this helps :) '

I had mine installed by a plumber. It has never leaked. Perhaps one of the hoses leading up to that head is not tightened?

We are not having either of those issues... we installed two of these in our home... one in the powder room and one in the guest bath... it has been almost 1 year and no issues at all. Maybe the flange needs to be cut down?

My unit was leaking water as well. If you remove back and side panels off there is a tiny tube that goes to the condensing area, it gets clogged. When it does the unit leaks. I bought a small plastic tub that goes under washing machines for mine. The unit works great, the company just never tells you its going to leak badly and ruin your carpet.

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.....

yes i made it all the way through (its possible)..having asked such question marks the possibility of you having a defected/broken shutoff valve..in case you do..try to shut down the water of the house as whole before replacing it or call the maintenance guy plus if you have leakage you need a teflon tape

I have the elongated model. I think you should call the professional installer. He or she needs to come tighten something before it leaks.

I have never encountered this problem, however, I had our plumber install the seat which we love. I would call on you plumber, it sound like the water tube is dislodged and running into the warm air tube. Bob

I've had mine since November and have never had a leakage problem. Could be faulty?? or over tightened?

Not sure about being the only one. I changed my water pump too, AC Delco. The original was a two piece, separate housing and thermostat. This one seems to be doing the job for the past 8 months.

My machine did leak a bit too. When I moved the machine forward to fill up, I noticed water underneath it. My husband opened the machine up. There is a snap on piece and draws hot water up. He put silicone grease on it and it stopped. I will get more details soon on what he did.

Dear Michael, I am sorry to read that you are experiencing problems with this heater as well - it sounds like exactly the issue we had. Please avoid the mistake I made and do not spend thousands on attempts to fix it. Please read my review to get a sense of what we experienced and don't waste any more time and money on this product. By the way, the water heater I replaced it with is still going strong and I haven't had to think about hot water since I got rid of the Bosch. Best of luck!

When we had a similar problem, it turned out that one of the two heating elements was corroded through. (We have well water.) We had both elements replaced, and so far so good. This happened after we'd had the water heater for several years. If yours is fairly new, it could be a lemon. Hope you can get the problem fixed.

I don't know about that, but I can tell you that we've been through two compressors and several service visits and we now have a very expensive conventional electric water heater on our hands. The heat pump function no longer works and it began failing a long time ago. I would seriously warn you against spending money on this water heater. Be sure to check out the many reviews across the web on this piece of equipment. It's a true (very pricey) lemon.

I had a contractor install mine and have had no problems. We had to adjust the valve on the water temperature control ( that was bought separately) several times to get the temperature right for the children. After that no problems. Mine were also purchased for my daycare.

I have this shower and have not had any problems. Do you think it's defective? It was so pricey I'd check with Amazon to get another one or call the mfg.
