why does it leak water from vent, when turning faucet on. This is a brand new unit just installed 1 week.

Check that the unit was connected properly and that the valve is closing properly. Water should not be coming out of the vent tube unless there is a blockage somewhere. I have had a few of these units, and they never seem to last more than about two years.

After about 3 months, mine begin to leak & sprayed water on the back wall. Since this one of yours is new, try taking it apart & reinstalling it. If this does not work, ask Church and Dwight for a replacement one.

You've probably checked this already but I'm wondering if the problem is something other than the hose - maybe a bad or clogged connection to the main water faucet or the nozzle you're using? I get a lot of pressure through mine.

Where is it leaking from? Make sure the filter is in place and the water basin is fitting into the base properly. Otherwise, I would return it because it sounds like you have a defective one.

Too many unknowns to answer directly, could be anything from valve not opened fully to sediment knocked loos and lodging in your faucets. The unit itself should not appreciably affect water pressure; in spite of differences in heating mechanism, it is still just a water-in-water-out canister.

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.

The only leak we experience with ours is when we turn the shower off. It seems to be from the remaining water in the pipes. I assume, since you said you installed as as per instructions, you did use plummets tape. That would be the only reason I would think it would leak, if that wasn't used.

I bought one of these about a month ago, and this things never leaks. I don't even see where it could leak. If yours is leaking, it could be that there is a faulty part that you should replace, or maybe you have a piece out of place from when you cleaned it last. If it's very old, maybe the seal around the heating element is failing. But other than that, all the water is held in a solid plastic housing that couldn't leak unless it was cracked. Hope that helps.

This may be your water heater. Try raising the temperature of the heater and try again. I do not have this issue with the faucet but had it previously before changing the degrees on my water heater unit.

Did you check if maybe you overfilled the unit? If not, than maybe you should return for a new one. I have had mine for 6 months and i have never had a leak. So maybe your unit could be defected?

Was your toilet leaking before? Maybe there Is a knick or crack where the blue gasket sits or maybe there is a cut in gasket. All I can think is either the unit is bad or the flange hole is damaged. There is also the chance that the hole is bigger than the recommended dimension and the flange is just not big enough to cover. Hope that helps.

I have 2 of these and no leak issues with either. Where is it leaking? If you are sure it's a seal issue, return and get a new one.

I've had mine since August 2012 and have had no problems whatsoever. I assume you mean the control section that sticks out to the side. Was it damaged in any way during install or use? On mine, I had to connect the water line before mounting it to the toilet as it would have been in the way. If by any chance you are referring to the water shut off valve coming out of your wall, I've learned to NEVER try to turn them off. They are usually badly corroded internally and start leaking (or worse, the handle comes off in your hand) after you turn the handle. I found that out when I replaced some sink faucets. Instead, use the street valve to shut off all water to the house and save yourself an emergency trip to Home Depot for a replacement valve, if it's not past closing time and you now have no running water until you can get to them when they open the next day.

To be honest, Mine leaks a little when my son takes his dog upstairs and uses it to wash/rinse her with it!. So since mine faucet is kind of square, this end is more round, so I believe that is why mine leaks a tad. It is useable, that is why I did not return it, I don't use it on a daily basis. The seller is very easy to work with, so I would either contact them, or just order - try it & if not right return for exchange or refund. Sorry I could not be of more help!

No , Very nice . My friend warned me about leaking , but I have not seen anything like that . When water shuts off, water still drips a little , I guess this is normal ( emptying out ) with this style of faucet . I would buy again !

Ours is leaking uncontrollably. We had the maintenance guy in our building come put it in so I know it's not an installation error.

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.
