I made my first batch and there's a leak when I pour. is there supposed to be a gasket on the filter?

ensure you have the top turned the right direction. There is a specific way it goes on so it does not leak.

I just got one and it leaked out the hole in the back. I found the problem to be the way the tank was molded. The ribs in the tank shrink more during the molding process, so the area where the round rubber seal hits the tank isn't flat, hence the leak. I bought some epoxy for plastic and put it in the grooves where the seal hits. That seems to have stopped the leak even with a full tank of water. The epoxy cost about $6 at hardware. After the epoxy started to harden, I scraped off excess and the sanded with fine sandpaper to make smooth. It took 1/2 hr to do but worth the effort. I hope this helps someone that is frustrated with the unit.

No it should not leak at all. I would try to re rap the fitting with Teflon tape or pipe dope again to see if that stops it. If you can tell it is coming from the regulator I would send ot back for a replacement.

mine has great outflow, check your pump output?? pump size ample to do the job?? filter plugged??? is the red flag in the bubble showing the filter plugged??

Mine leaks as well - check the lid and see if the silicon ring is missing or damaged. I believe that's the cause for my leak. Still checking to see if I can replace that part...

Mine has never leaked. Just make sure the seal is attached to screw in piece and that you're using cold water when you fill it.

Mine definitely doesn't leak. Check to make sure the inside valve is locked in place and that the lid is screwed on correctly. If all of those are done then I would request a return/exchange.

My blender never leaks and I've had it over 2 years. You probably didn't put the gasket and blade back on correctly. Make sure you put the rubber gasket on the glass jar first, then the blade then screw on the bottom plastic piece. Hope this helps.

Just take the top off and there should be a black flap. Undo the flap and replace with new filter. Make sure u take the plastic wrapper off of it.!

You did not state from where the gas was leaking, at the gas filler or the cap. If it is where the cartridge is screwed in this is normal since the pin pierces the cartridge membrane before it is completely seated. If it is coming from the cap, it is probably because it has not been screwed in tight enough. I have found that I need to use considerable strength when tightening. I plan on adding an additional O ring but have not gotten around to it yet. Hopes this helps.

The only thing I can think of is that you my be using too much coffee or the holes in the bottom of the filter might be some how obstructed or not properly made at the factory. There is a good instructional video on you tube that I recommend watching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DwPGkq8SFE There might me something helpful to you in the video. This is how I learned to do it.

I have never had this problem...pours just for for me. Wish I could help or suggest a solution.

No, I don't think it's normal. Mine was clear first time. My guess is, if you use cloudy water, there is a leak there somewhere, most likely to be the filter elements or the plugs(holes - if you use 2 elements instead of 4) not tight enough. If you use clear water then I'm not sure...if you didn't clean the elements and primed them then may be dusts would have got int there and make it cloudy...I hope this helps

Mike: silly question, but did you give the filter an extra push, plus push in the top rubber gasket some more to expose the thread? If this fails then the filter is too long. In that case I would be making an extended threaded mounting post. Or a special nut with a reduced diameter that will go inside the filter and catch the thread. My 10 gallon Craftsman has a 7/16 NC thread. I have the capability at home to manufacture these fixes, but if you do not I am at a loss for other solutions. Hoe about a recessed cup with a flange, then cut a bigger hole in the filter rubber and use a 7/16 nut inside the cup.

Mine leaks a bit when I pump the coffee, I think as a result of bad design, but I had another one that was even worse. It's no longer possible to buy the kind with a screw-off lid that you just loosen. It helps to put the opening as much into the cup as possible when you pour. If yours leaks too badly, it must be defective. There is no gasket.

That did not happen to me. If you soaked your filter as it states then this should not have happened. I would call the manufacturer.

No, sounds like something isn't in tight. I've never had a problem with any of mine leaking. Give the company a call
