My main concern is "not leaking". I've tried many googles and the chlorine finds a way to get inside. How good is this feature? Thank you.

I've pwned these for over a year and traveled with them to at least 3 countries. Used them in fresh water rivers/lakes and the sea. No issues with leaking as of yet.

I swim three times a week in an outdoor heated pool. I used to use the Aqua Sphere Kayenne goggles but found they would leak after about a year of use. I switched to the Kaiman goggles and have used them for over a year with no leaks. I do make sure to rinse them off in cold fresh water after every use and let them air dry thoroughly and that seems to help. I've found the Kaiman goggles to be very comfortable.

All goggles leak from my experience...the only question is when. Or the lenses get all gooey and filmy and therefore are worthless. So there is a dance between which will fail first. I swim everyday so goggles last me only a month or so. The larger aqua sphere goggles leak the fastest as they have more rubber surface to potentially get exposed to the elements and deteriorate. The smaller goggles, as these are are comparable to Speedos and TYRs

Yes. This does not leak. However I noticed that after 2-3 months it starts leaking unless you clean the the goggles suction after every use. I had this problem with my first goggle. For the second one I am not seeing this problem. Probably because I am cleaning this thoroughly after every use. Do not use any lens cleaning liquid. This blurr the vision for this lens.

I didn't look when I got it. I have used it for couple months now with no problems. Even had construction people working on my house use it and they have not managed make it leak or fail. The trick is to not leave water in the hose after use. Empty and put away. I have a very small basket under the hose nozzle where it is stored when empty of water and water pressure. Works great, stores in a very small place, and I believe this hose type will take over the market for home use.

It's amazing the answers that are posted here! The check valve is built into the unit. If you run the high pressure line to the outlet and the low pressure line to the inlet, you'll get no chlorine because the check valve will prevent flow. Anyway, all you need is this product, a drill, a drill bit, and some teflon tape.

I never had this issue. My kids leaked all over the place all the time. But I did read another persons review with a similar issue. She had to cut a hole in the silicone to make it work.

We bought our first one about 5 years ago and absolutely love it. In fact we bought a second one for a back up but its still in the box. We have it at our cabin and use it for about a week at a time then drain it, wipe it out and leave the lid cracked open when we leave. We have never had a problem but if you were worried you could run some mild bleach water through it every so often or maybe use purified water. This one is a bit more compact than others but seems to really kick out the ice and love the color. I don't think you'll regret this purchase, however, I did see some feedback that stated parts were impossible to come by. That's why we bought the back up!

Its totally self-contained and sealed up, so you won't have to refill anything and I've had my unit for over a year and haven't noticed any leakage or evaporation issues in regards to the liquid inside... I'm very happy with the performance of the cooler, as I can now overclock my 2.66ghz i7 to 4,6ghz+ ...- a pretty nice boost from the 3.6ghz on the Air-cooled HSF I was using before.Hope this helps:)

I returned mine. It didn't leak, but it wouldn't hold pressure for more than a couple of minutes; thus, was constantly "pumping" it.

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.

Hi Kate - well it seems that only us purchasers will accept that this product has a problem with the leaking - krups it seems don't - I've emailed them. I am now about to send my THIRD Circolo back (purchased this time through Co-op online just to make sure it was not a 'faulty batch' that Amazon had in stock. Seems that it was not. Anyhows, going to chose another style now - don't want to because I love the modern style of the Circolo but it seems to me that until Krups acknowledge that there is a problem they won't actually sort it out!

1) I found it to be such shoddy junk that I sent it back for a refund toward a better filter. I suggest you do the same. 2) I don't think you want it any looser, 'cause if it is, it'll leak. 3) But if you want to try, Vaseline is about the only lubricant that's safe to use in contact with drinking water that won't rot (like vegetable oil would). It's also good for sealing leaky O-rings (where the filter housing screws into the base).

I have had mine a few months... do not use it as much as I would like but have had no problems with leakage. Hopefully it will last a good, long time, but I have not had mine long enough to know.

The only way that you are going to have a leak is if you do something to the unit like modding it. All in one units are stringently tested to make sure they will not leak, otherwise they wouldn't be placing this item on the market. Like most coolants used this is more than likely distilled water which has zero conductivity. I hope this answers your questions.

I used it late last season to chlorinate a 20 x 40 pool after performing a pool renovation. It worked fine for me, though I couldn't test it through the hottest dog days of summer when the sun eats up chlorine at peak rates. However, I did observe the flow rates through the feeder before loading it with chlorine. I'd say the flow rate was far better than any suction type chlorinator that I'd used in the past. In my experience, the flow rate is key because the container will hold plenty of tablets to cover an 18 x 36 pool. You need the flow rate to dissolve the tablets fast enough. In general, I was impressed with the quality of construction and the inclusion of all fittings for installation. I think it will serve your needs. You will need two hands when operating the latch and removing the lid, but it's not much different from other "name brand" chlorinators I've used. I don't consider it unsafe, but always open slowly and avoid direct inhalation around ANY chlorinator.

I have not had any problem with leakage, but I would suggest not filling it more than 1/2 full for overnight.

It doesn't leak. It has worked really well for me. Some reviewers have said it is difficult to put on the bottle, but I have found it to be easy to do.

I just used mine yesterday, no leaks whatsoever, in fact, I don't even bother with the blue cover. it's well made, and I would purchase again if need be. nothing leaks at all.

You can definitely leave it and not worry about leaking. Screw the lid on properly though!
