Has anyone had water leak out the back? It's coming from where the tank and the body meet (rubber plug). When I put a full tank in water leaks out.

I just got one and it leaked out the hole in the back. I found the problem to be the way the tank was molded. The ribs in the tank shrink more during the molding process, so the area where the round rubber seal hits the tank isn't flat, hence the leak. I bought some epoxy for plastic and put it in the grooves where the seal hits. That seems to have stopped the leak even with a full tank of water. The epoxy cost about $6 at hardware. After the epoxy started to harden, I scraped off excess and the sanded with fine sandpaper to make smooth. It took 1/2 hr to do but worth the effort. I hope this helps someone that is frustrated with the unit.

Hi George,I would first check the pressure in the holding tank to make sure it is correct.Have seen where water will come out fast but trickle off quickly and this is sometimes the problem.

Mine leaked. You might need new gasket rings. Mine always broke and didn't seal completely.

No it should not leak at all. I would try to re rap the fitting with Teflon tape or pipe dope again to see if that stops it. If you can tell it is coming from the regulator I would send ot back for a replacement.

A friend of mine had an issue with the nozzle at the back of the tank breaking off. Is your unit leaking water? If so, look at the nozzle that plugs into the back of your tank. It may be cracked or broken. Hope this helps.

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.

One thing I remember happening is, if the black collar around the red pump handle is loose, you can accidentally remove the pump handle/piston without removing the black cylinder the piston goes into. If that happens, you won't be able to fill the tank, as it remains blocked by the black cylinder. If you have removed the handle correctly, you should have a clear view right down into the tank with nothing in the way to stop water from going in. If the opening appears blocked by black plastic, re-insert the pump handle and tighten the black plastic collar on the pump handle onto threads at the top of the black plastic cylinder. At that point, when you unscrew the handle assembly from the tank, the cylinder should come out with the handle, leaving the opening unblocked. If I recall correctly, the same thing happened to me the first time I went to use it, as they shipped it with the collar loose. Once I tightened it firmly, it never happened again. Pretty nice sprayer.

sounds like there might be some kind of obstruction. Not real sure, I never had any problems with mine. Is the tank sitting on the base properly? I use either R/O or distilled water

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.

Potentially is the floater not coming up all the way? Can you give me additional detail? I'm assuming the leak is in the bowl.. like a weak trickle. If I am correct that has to do with the adjustment of the floater- which allows the water to go from the tank filling the bowl.

My machine did leak a bit too. When I moved the machine forward to fill up, I noticed water underneath it. My husband opened the machine up. There is a snap on piece and draws hot water up. He put silicone grease on it and it stopped. I will get more details soon on what he did.

I think there's a plug at the bottom to let the internal water out. You'll have to look and see if it's there. I remember looking for the same thing. The manual is not at all clear on this.

The thing may be bled. Appears that it may also be disassembled and rebuilt. If it is filling with water, you might want to correct the design of your system, or drain your tank more often...

Is the bottom tank full? Mine only leaks when the bottom is full and the top is still trying to feed water

Nope. I've owned three, zero leaks. Could it be overfilled? If you can verify the leak (maybe from a line?) I'd send it back. Good luck!

you have a problem. the water should drip down the material in the back. take it part (back panel} and make sure nothing foreign is in there. it is how you clean it anyway and you should get familiar with it.

Mine did that too, at first. I found I did not have it seated properly. Once I had it fitted correctly it never leaked again.
