I thought I would be able to fill this from the top of the base, but the cap is on the bottom. So I need to fill it then flip it? Will it leak?

No, you definitely fill it from the top of the base. Then, you screw the punching bag on top of it. My husband absolutely loves the Century Wavemaster. He said it's good all the way up to heavy punching (he's a heavy weight boxer used to punching a 100# bag.

I had the same issue at first. I still don't understand what the top cap is for. To drink out of it, unscrew the whole top. Where you pour the water in is also where you're supposed to drink.

Not from the bottom but it does leak from the top spout. Sounds like yours is defective. They will ship you a new one if you return it but you have to pay postage to send it to them, if you want to do that. Go on their website and fill out the return form and they will email you a return authorization and the address to ship it to.

Yep. I do it all the time. I just pop the top off and refill it then pop the top back on. Works great!

open the round cap on the bottom....it's hard so use a screw driver or something else.....fill with water or sand (i used water,cheaper and equally efffective)...put cap back on.....also its heavy so have the base close to wherever it's going to be...good luck

There is a small twist cap on the bottom of the water container. I didn't figure it out at first either... If you miss the opening you may get some water in the decorative case but just turn it over, over the base and the small amount of water will go in there. This one is by far may favorite so far, I have bought 5 of them, two of which I had to send back.

The top just sits right on the lower unit. You probably overfilled the unit and it leaked out. You can only put in the top what will fit in the bottom.

Your question got me thinking, so I did a quick test. I filled one up with a bit of water, put the lid in place and tried 1) holding it upside down and 2) jostling and shaking it. The results: I did not see or experience any leakage. Hope this info helps you out!

Twist on. You need to line up the threads carefully, though. If you rush and force it, it will leak.

As long as the flap is closed you can turn it upside down and it will not leak. SEND IT BACK!Good luck,Mike

It is not a flip top & it will leak if it is not upright. The hole straw or just drinking is open.

Not if it's upright, or the cap is on. Same logic as a cup. Does not leak from the bottom if that's what you my mean.

yes the top is a screw on. about 1 full revolution to tight. the lid is sealed by an o-ring. Never had a leak from the lid once sealed, however if you over fill and screw on the lid, some of your drink is above the o-ring and will leak down your front on your first drink.just don't over fill, or if you do hold the cup over the sink until the trapped drink has drained.

I don't store the bottle if it has water inside -- if it has water in it, I let it sit upright, not on its side or upside down. I haven't had problems with leaking, the water flows freely when I turn it upside down, and comes out at a slower flow if it's on its side, but to my understanding it's working as expected. Pour the water out or as another answer says, keep the original bottle cap to keep the bottle sealed.

There is no top when it's flipped over it acts as a lid to the unit. It is open to the air but I use one whole container so there isn't ussually water sitting in it.

Once it is filled and the black part is screwed on securely, if you flip if upright quickly enough, you will only lose a small amount of water, a splash. It should be done outside though because you will lose a little water. I ask my husband to flip it because obviously he is stronger than me and can go quicker without a problem.

The container comes off the base but it's more practical to fill it from the top. If you fill it from the bottom, with the lid on, you have to flip it over to put it back on the base.
