Many reviewers complain about this unit leaking. Is there something they are doing wrong that I can avoid?

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 did not leak. If yours is leaking, it's probably a manufacturer's defect and you should return it.

I have had mine for a few weeks now. I love mine it has not leaked a drop. You have to turn the water tank upside down to fill. There is a big opening that you have to turn the plastic opening to put water in. There is a rubber seal on it. I am sure that keeps it from leaking with water in the tank. It is hard to turn. I have had 2 small pegs on the in side of the tank brake off and it still has not leaked. I would recommend this unit for everyone.

Hmm I think that's odd and it makes me think your unit is leaking. I personally would replace it. I don't think you can add water...

Not specific enough to answer. Is the leak coming from the unit, or external to the unit. If from the unit, call Rinnai and get the names of authorized Rinnai installers who should be more familiar with Rinnai products.

I had the same problem, because of the bottom rubber gasket that makes it really hard to screw down tightly. I solved it by getting rid of the gasket and using plumbers putty instead. No leaks.

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

Maybe they had a bad batch..... you can return it if the one you get leaks. Mine was great.

There is a pressure release on the ottom. No doesn't leak enough to merit giving it a bad review

We've not had any issues with ours leaking. I think the leaking problems were in earlier model years, ours hasn't has any issues.

No, I have never had a problem with it leaking. Try to keep it upright. Make sure the straw is down.

Mine would also leak sometimes for no reason. It would stop leaking even though I did nothing to it. I never replaced it

You are correct in not pleasing everyone. Yes, on following the manufacture's instructions. The leaks come from the screw on cap getting loose while the unit grinds down the contents - in reverse of how you tightened it in the first place. There is a hole in the power unit so the liquid drains out but it is very messy. :)

Hello, The one that I got was defective and had a leak. I was disappointed. try it if you come across a problem then just return it.

I dont think it is normal, but i hear this particular item has this flaw compared to other models. I started to double check the rubber ring and the lid for any food debris left, and normally the leaking didnt happen. Hope you try that.

I have two...one leaks and the other one I have had no problems with and it runs everyday. I would of returned the other one but didn't get it done in time. I do plan on ordering another one soon. Was told that they will honor the returns.

My first one leaked like yours. I threw it away and bought a new one. The new one has not leaked I would say return it!

I am glad to see someone else has this problem! I have had mine replaced 4 times! Did you ever get yours working? I had an old model for 10 years that never leaked, so I know what I'm doing. Frustrating.
