Mine is leaking where you push down to insert the tip. Hadn't used the unit for quite sometime & I know it didn't used to leak. What is the problem

you need a repair kit. It comes with a splice and direcctions. Get one and make the repair, it is easy.

I really don't know for sure - however - Plastic dries out and has a tendency to break down if left when Ultraviolet light (sun light partial) can get to it or if there is ozone or other chemicals in the air which react with it. What that all means is that the actual 'life-expectancy' of the WaterPik is low - designed to fail and need to be replaced.

I don't know why it failed. Mine did the exact same thing. Unfortunately, you may have to buy the repair kit. It's not too difficult to fix. I will say this, when you get ready to cut the original hose, allow yourself about an ADDITIONAL three (3) inches or more from the base than what is recommended in the instructions. This will allow you to grab more of the original hose and it makes it easier to push original hose, the new splicer tube and the new hose with wand together.

I had the same problem as yours. But after I used Teflon tape as you did and let is leak little for a week or so, it stopped by itself. So hope it will happen to you also.

Ours is leaking uncontrollably. We had the maintenance guy in our building come put it in so I know it's not an installation error.

I bought one of these about a month ago, and this things never leaks. I don't even see where it could leak. If yours is leaking, it could be that there is a faulty part that you should replace, or maybe you have a piece out of place from when you cleaned it last. If it's very old, maybe the seal around the heating element is failing. But other than that, all the water is held in a solid plastic housing that couldn't leak unless it was cracked. Hope that helps.

Mine does the same thing if I fill it even close to the max line. I just fill it up to under the max line and it works better, still leaks some but not as much as before.

I would try a little water in there and I had to do some adjusting on the tip when I first used it but once I got it adjusted we were fine. Listen for air leaks and make sure you have that tip adjusted for the right spray.

As with other posters, we've never had an issue with ours leaking and have been using it for many years. Sounds like a defect, or like it may have been cracked by dropping/dishwasher/etc.

You have a defective sprayer....I've bought three of these and never had a problem leaking....e-mail them..this is way too expensive to be loosing so much product

i lost mine too, but it seemed to function okay without leaking. however it may eventually. i would look for a replacement if you are going to keep the unit.

Oh no! Mine just started leaking too and I'm not sure if it's too late to return it. Let me know what happens with yours. I really have enjoyed this dispenser until now.

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.

I am glad to see someone else has this problem! I have had mine replaced 4 times! Did you ever get yours working? I had an old model for 10 years that never leaked, so I know what I'm doing. Frustrating.

Wow. Sorry, I haven't had that problem. Depends on where it's leaking. Might try a new cleaning cartridge and then call the manufacturers help line if that doesn't work.. you can also clean it manually if needed. Check your Operation manual. Might be a stop-gap till you can get it fixed. Good Luck.

I guess not enough pressure (though mine works on almost no pressure) or somehow defective...maybe return and get a new one.

Is it leaking from the bottom or the top ?Mine does not leak. maybe it's overfilled

Nope. I've owned three, zero leaks. Could it be overfilled? If you can verify the leak (maybe from a line?) I'd send it back. Good luck!

Hello Vikas, firstly you need to determine the source of the leak. It is most likely from one of the connections. Try to isolate which one. If that is the case you can easily fix it yourself by checking each one and making sure that they are tight. If it is coming from the body of the unit then you should return it because that would mean that the product is defective. The instructions aren't great. I would gladly send you a picture of the unit already connected so that you could see it more easily but I don't think there is a way of attaching a picture to my answer. Best of luck.
