My bag leaks at the bottom opening where the hose connects? Is there a way to stop that?

I have not had any problems with leaks but you might want to check the nozzles for plastic mold line flash and trim with hobby knife and make sure there is no debris in the bag opening. Also maybe try some silicon safe lube.

Do you have the hose on far enough? It was difficult to push the hose on as far as it needs to go but soaking it in hot water first really helped.

Place a zip tie around the hose and the connector and tighten it down to stop the leaks. Be sure the hose is all the way on before using the zip tie.

I just folded the top over and clipped it shut. I was just thinking the other day I ought to take out a small jar full to use and use my vacuum sealer to seal up the rest. There's so much in the bag!

Try to make sure that the bag is not anywhere by the sensor and make sure that nothing is blocking the lid from coming down all the way otherwise it would close and open back and stay open sometimes. If that does not help try to turn off the power and manually push the lid down it seemed to help.

Hi, Just buy a can of Scott guard and spray the canvas bottom. And it will add protection from leaking. Follow directions on can. Will make clean up easier!

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.

I also bought mine from Costco. I've had it for over a year with no problem, but it started leaking recently from the bottom of the handle. You should return it for a new one.

It was an issue for me too. I tried putting the outside washer on the inside, but it still leaked....so I siliconed it to the top seems to be a fix

More info needed. It could be hose thread or M22 and anything in between. What is the application? What are you connecting to and is it under pressure?

No problem with leakage...I mean you will be using a bag in there anyway...

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?

There is a strap that goes from the bottom of the bag up and through the handle on the lid and Velcros in place. It is a sturdy bag and I have used it without it leaking.

we've had the same issue on rare occassion. I have no idea why it is leaking and we have also checked it, cleaned it, etc. it seems to be more of an issue when it is overly full.

Yes, never had bag leak either. Dispose of the bag(s), but keep the boxes and contact the manufacturer. I'm sure they will reimburse you or send more or something. The top part of the item is supposed to attract moisture, then the water collects in the bottom part. Nothing is supposed to come out of the bag.

There is a rubber type gasket that runs around the outside to stop leaking. You can remove it.

Make sure you have all the air out of it when you screw the top on. I find that helps keep it from leaking.

No. Both of the hoses I own have the same problem. I just wrapped tape around the connectors and don't use the function that shuts them off at the connector, because then they leak right through the hose. It's a problem I just decided to live with. Otherwise I like the hose.

Yes I had the same problem, I returned the hose. I have not found an alternative yet.
