Is the end of the handle open or closed? Worried about it filling up with rainwater.

Hi....it is totally sealed. This is a heavy duty apparatus. It's well worth the $.

Sorry to hear that. No we haven't had any problems at all with the handle. We do have a little water leaking out the top of it if that top knob comes loose, but no issues with the handle

The rain hasn't caused any problems, exposing it under water might be a problem make sure the charging/reset port is closed with the screw and rubber attachment that comes with it

The water reservoir is in the handle. Slide it out by moving it towards the cord. Once it is removed you will see a small hole at the top of it with a plastic cover on it.

is there water coming out of the spout? is the handle go all the way to the closed position? the valve is probably worn out, there may be an o ring you can replace. I have not seen this problem before and have had mine foe close to 10 years, and I have real good water pressure.. I hope my reply helps.

No the handle that you see is for the water container. Pulling up on it removes the water.

There is a one inch square plastic part inside, near the top, where the handle connects. It is above the max fill line so no water touches it.

I guess the question is "the back OR the side"? It comes out of the side (right-lower side of the handle).

When I received the one I ordered it was not askew. Prior to installing it, I would suggest setting it on a surface where the main body is level and locking the rear access panel. Is there any gaps? If so, I would want to do an exchange. It could leak in rainy weather.

Not that I've seen... and as a matter of fact I left it out in the rain and I can't figure out how to get the water out of the bottom. I would still recommend this one..it didn't take my son long at all to figure out he couldn't pull up on it...I kind of think even with sand..they'd still tip over with a cart. I buy everybody's kid this for their 1st bday because I love it so much.

It is. The sides come down on the outside of the box. There is a gap in the back. But the back plate is bent in to stop drips & leaks. In a hard rain, probably not. But it has worked well for me so far.

Mine does the same thing. I've used it all summer. I think it is supposed to be a little loose. Only drawback is that it collects rainwater... So be careful after the rain:)

Yes and no. I leave mine out year round and open. It has held up well in FL sun, rain and bipolar weather but now is the time to replace it. The next one I plan to spray with that new rain guard to prevent it from being destroyed. It has held up good in the rain. Water rolls off the edges.

The entry hole for rainwater is on the top - does have a white screw type lid so you can open/close. MY big problem (and I hear from others) I discovered it leaks at the bottom, so I've had to use some silicone. Also, unlike others, it is NOT under a gutter area to catch the water. That not withstanding? I have hoisted it up on a 3 ft. stand BECAUSE? No way to use the spigot to GET the water into a pail if you don't. Hope this answers MORE than you asked!!! P.

It's probably impossible for water not to get into it but I haven't really noticed any poring out after I rinse It off its a really tight fit! But I also usually don't get the handle wet if I can help it just in case

There is a hole at the lamp end of the handle. There should be a rubber flap that can be peeled back to access the opening.

I have never closed mine unless to exchange umbrellas. It holds up in strong winds because of the water in the bottom.
