No pix of lid... are the lids flat or is there a dimple or depression in the center? I need to be able to make a hole in the center of the lid and install a water tight water filter.

I'm sorry I just don't remember specifically. I want to say they were flat but I don't want to misinform you. They have since been absorbed by the factory and the lids are available for inspection. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

there is a very slight, doughnut type, raised ring in the center of the lid...inside the ring there's about an inch plus of flat space

There is a raised circle centered on the lid. I think you could cut a pretty clean circle in the top with the right tool, but I am no expert on this. Just my opinion...

Hey LuLu...mine is flat and I use it to put things on all the time...who wants a domed lid anyway??? must be custom

There are two filters. One square and the other round. To remove simply grab close to the outside edge and begin to pull it out all the way around. To insert new ones simply begin stuffing it in and work your way around the lid. Use a finger to straighten out any part that did not go flat.

There are little dots toward the bottom one on the cover and one on the base. When the cover is closed properly the dots match up. You have to hold the bottom with one hand and hold the top with the other and twist the lid off. Try to twist both ways. I would suggest trying it a few times before putting water in it just to get used to taking it on and off. Look inside the cover so you can see how it goes on the base part. I hope this helps. Look for those black dots.

I didn't know but you made me curious. I put water in one and it did have a slow drip when I turned it on it's side. The tops are snug, but not totally leakproof.

Hum, not sure. I do the hole in the other end, but not sure that is the problem. You are putting the lid on, right? If so it might just be a defective unit.

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.

It's like a canning lid. A center piece and then a ring to tighten it down. There is no solid lid.

Top is hollow...but I wouldn't recommend this product. While I have had no problems with the lid, I get coffee grounds when I pour because the screen isn't functioning properly. I have tried to locate a new screen but haven't been able to. Amazon doesn't carry it and the generic ones don't fit.

is the lid on tightly??? see if it comes off, rinse dry and replace. see if that makes a difference.

All the pictures I have seen the hole is shown. It sits flat and fits our double sink nicely. They offer one with no holes.

It has a pre cut opening in the back. It is for the filter back flow of water. Make sure your tank has a plastic border around the entire top of the glass . If. Not then the cover will fall into the tank. I had to build plastic extensions on mine.

I had the same problem. You should be able to unscrew the lid. If not, use plyers. Then take a screwdriver amd just keep "stabbing" that flat part until you puncture it. All you need is a small hole. Hope that helps!

There is a small twist cap on the bottom of the water container. I didn't figure it out at first either... If you miss the opening you may get some water in the decorative case but just turn it over, over the base and the small amount of water will go in there. This one is by far may favorite so far, I have bought 5 of them, two of which I had to send back.

Did you remove the plastic bushing that used to sit between the water bottle and the cooler? I did and I had some leakage - when I returned the bushing (ring), the fit wasn't great, but the unit sealed such that I can have the lower portion of the filter unit 1/2 full and not have leaking. If that doesn't work, you can try a sheet of silicone or food grade rubber and cut a hole in it for the filter unit to sit. Alternatively, the filter unit comes with a check valve that is supposed to close off the filter from the crock when the crock is full - is that operating?

If I understand the question correctly, the bottom is not rounded as in concave. It is completely flat just like the lid. Hope that helps!

There's a hole in the cup part for draining, right where the spout is. You can see it on the second picture at the top of the page.
