My bag leaks where the hose connects to bag on the bottom of bag? Is there anything someone can do to stop that?

I put a different fitting in my bag, it is much larger in diameter. Hard to get in but did the trick.

Put a VERY small Ty-wrap around the bottom of the bag and tighten it, but not too much. Be careful when trimming off the excess that you don't cut the bag. If you have a dyke pliers excess can be trimmed very safely. With the same pliers, you can also remove the entire Ty-wrap if you ever want to without injuring the bag. Just cut the square opening of the Ty-wrap from the side, not trying to put one jaws of the pliers under the Ty-wrap. Regards, S.T.

You need to push the adapter deeper into the bag or go to the hardware store and buy a small hose clamp, mine worked okay.

Check with Q Industries customer service. I have found them be very responsive. I had to replace the air hose as it came apart after several years use. I wrote a review and in the review complained that the plastic catches on the bag broke when I was putting the compressor up after replacing the hose. They evidently read the review and sent me a new bag free of charge.

same happened to me as well. I'm returning it for another reason though which is it leaks from everywhere!

I have the same issue and don't have a solution yet (other than cleaning up the leaked water each day). Does anyone have a solution?

I haven't used a hose. I empty by hand. Try disconnecting the hose and then running it. That's one way to narrow down the problem. If its acting normally then, I would reconnect the hose and try running it again. Hope that helps.

Lucy - I'll bet that the leaking is coming at the point where your hose attaches to the sprayer. Check the female receptacle on the Havaheart sprayer and see if their is a washer that your hose is supposed rto butt up against. If not, you can get hose washers for less that a buck at any hardware store. Good luck. I was able to get thru the eintire growing season without deer caused crop damage in my gardem This is the only product that ever worked for me. Lee

Loosen and retighten the bolts at each joint. If it still leaks, it is defective. Return it to Amazon.

I have had mine for almost 6 months without a drop of leaking. Perhaps try reassembling it.

check to make sure there isn't a locking feature on it that prevents water flow, i know camelbaks do. Then return this product. it is plagued with problems in my experience. also try disconnecting and reconnecting the hose and any other detachable parts and make sure water can flow freely through the tube, mouth piece etc.

I haven't had that problem. My only suggestion is to make sure there is plenty of suction, the bag is clean when you start and make sure the unit sinks all the way to the bottom and is level.

I can not find where there are people complaining about this to find a solution. Are you using the recommended sanitizer? I would change the batteries and make sure the bag is installed correctly. I wish I could offer a solution but I can't find where anyone is having the same issue.

Water should not be coming out of the top. You only see water when you lift to empty bag. Check for hoses connected properly.

I am sure there is a way to patch it, but the company has a pretty good warranty and a lifetime warranty against leaks. I haven't had any troubles with leaking yet with moderate use so far.

You have the vaccum connections wrong make sure you have the hose connected to a red flap that opens down on the right hand side, the cord sets as you see it here. I have had mine over a year and NEVER had that problem, if connected properly and the BAG is in PLACE you should not have this trouble , if I knew more, such as where is dirt blowing from etc. I suspect the hose is hooked up wrong or the airbag is not installed tightly enough over the lip it goes on. Hope this helps.....

Where exactly is it leaking, the hose connections? Did you use plumbers seal tape on the connectors? If not, you need to wrap the threads with it then screw on the hoses or you will get leaks.

You just press the seal together - there should be a plastic tab on the top that you squeeze and run across the top. You sometimes have to squeeze hard to get the bag to seal.

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.
