If one/two of the spigots continues to leak can it be replaced or does the entire unit have to be replaced?

It all depends on where it's leaking from. Is it where the spigots meet the plastic, or from the spigot itself?

Yes, the previous unit started to leak and I replaced it with another. The present unit is working fine.

Yes, the spigot is replaceable. You will need to remove the plastic spigot before you fill the dispenser with water. I would take the original spigot to wherever you are going to look for a metal spigot. Probably 'True Value' or 'Ace Hareware'.

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 agree with M Haines I have had two of them running for years and no leaks. Probably bad unit

The spigot is very good quality.. I've had mine for a year and have had no problems..

I've never had a problem with mine--I've had it two years and it still works great. I'm sorry yours is leaking. Have you contacted the manufacturer?

Mine has not leaked at all. The spigot will clog occasionally with bits of lemon, etc. but other than that i had no problems. The lid is snug but not airtight. I will buy another if this one were to break.

I had leaking issue. They replaced my triple unit. Haven't dared to use this one.

I havent been able to use mine as it leaks in the house. I am not sure if it is the waterer or the hose which i bought new.

No. I think that is why my orignal leaked. I love the size of this bottle, but the spigot is garbage. Have gone through 2 already, so look for the cheapest for your needs. Walmart carries these as well.

You can unscrew the spigot and put some olive oil on the seal an that might work, I have had mine for 3 years and the only problem I have had was my granddaughter broke my spigot off. I bought another one in fact 2 just in case. They are cheep and easy to replace. I would contact the company and let the know what is going on. But all in all the company should replace it at no cost to you or at least send you a new spigot. hope that helped some,

They are in the spigot. We've used it a few times and have not had any leakage problems.

Remove the spigot, it should unscrew. Replace it with a higher quality spigot that has a wider orifice or clean the old one out. I found the original spigot not up to the quality of the barrel itself. Mold or debris can easily clog it. It is designed to have the perforated top sit under a rain downspout. Rain easily enters the barrel while large twigs/leaves do not. The only thing I have seen is when there is a downpour the water will overwhelm the grated top and some will be lost over the side of the barrel.

Hi,you have to make sure the replacement spout connects the same way as existing spout. There are two types of spouts.

I bet the hose is the costly part and if you could get a replacement it wouldn't be much less cost than a full replacement. Mine is starting to leak already but will probably make it through until next season.

Mine leaks too, no matter what I do and it's brand new. It doesn't leak at the hose, but between the plastic connectors.
