I almost always have some water leaking from the valve on the tanks before they are fully seated. Any suggestions.

I do too, but the suggestions below seems like this can be resolved by checking the precise alignment and with practice should work.

I had trouble with that too. You have to be very careful as the alignment of it very precise. If you don't do it exact you will hit the valve and it will release water. Do this just temporary. Put the whole thing on your kitchen counter top so that you can see it closer. Do this with no water in the tank just to practice. You will see what has to be lined up to keep from hitting the valve to soon.Practice putting the tank in place. This will let you see how precise you have to be to not hit the valve to soon. Now put the unit back on the floor and go thru the motions you just learned. You got to be patient. Hope this will help you. Al I had trouble with that too.

If you hold it upside down and push the valve release in while your screwing it on it releases the air that pushes the water out after you close it. Then you don't get the leakage. Other than that, I just run clean up the leaks. Hope this helps.

I used this on our motorhome to prevent back flow from the black tank spray and it works, but water leaks out of the small holes in the valve every time the water supply is turned off. In our case this is a problem because it over flows into the water/sewage bay and leaks out on the ground.

You might need to try another tank or make sure you tighten the valve real tight to get it to push the valve in your tank.

Make sure you don't turn the flame too low.Also make sure your tank is working properly

Deborah make sure you have properly sealed the tank before placing in onto the base. Physically inspect the base for any cracks. Make sure that that the base is empty when you put it in your room then place the tank onto the base. This will insure that the tank is not leaking as a result of being moved while full. Good luck. This device is truly easy to use and has been flawless for us. I like its simplicity and it has been a lifesaver for my kids when they are sick.

I had a similar issue with a Rhino tank. However, mine would connect, but it leaked. I bought some yellow gas line tape and wrapped the connection on the tank 3 or 4 times - no more leak issues.

YES! If it is what happened to me it is coming from the lid. All of a sudden our tank leaked and we discovered that the water is traveling from the filter area down the side of the tank. The only way I could resolve this was to not press the lid all the way down - just rest it on top. Bummer cause otherwise I love this tank!

I had this problem as well, make sure the water tank is placed correctly. My tank wasn't pushed all the way down. I hope this solves your issue as well.

Any time I have had a similar problem, it had something to do with the seal between the head and the tank. Take a good look at the seal in the groove on the head, and take a paper towel and use a small screw driver to wipe it clean. Then make sure you really tighten the head to the tank. If this did not work, and your unit has a pressure relieving valve, check and make sure it is not leaking when tank is pumped and pressurized. If the wand is somehow leaking you may have to buy a new wand.I'd put my money on the seal between the tank and head.

what part of the unit is the water coming from. turn off the water tank, check all connections. I've had two leaks from defective/broken parts. The company replaced these parts free of charge. If parts are broken and you purchased through Amazon, go to Amazon web site. prior orders, contact supplier. explain problem. When I did this the company emailed me within 24 hours. hope this helps/ good luck/Craig

Make sure you flip the valve to the hoses and remove them 1st I havent had any trouble with mine.

we've had the same issue on rare occassion. I have no idea why it is leaking and we have also checked it, cleaned it, etc. it seems to be more of an issue when it is overly full.

We've had our Jura for 6+ years and the tank has never leaked. Where is it leaking from? It may be a gasket or you may need a new tank :( I'm sorry I couldn't be more help.

There are two parts to the seals on the clean water tank, the spring operated valves and the rubber seating seals. The spring operated valves close when the clean water tank is removed from the machine allowing the water and solution tanks to be filled. The seating seals around these valves are supposed to keep the liquids contained within the machine when the tank is installed. The spring valves can stick and may be prone to be held open by small particles such grit or plastic shards left by the factory. You can exercise the valves when the tank is off the machine and empty by pushing them gently up and down from below with finger. You might also try this with some water in the tank to test whether the spring valves seal. The seating seals around the valves on the bottom of the tank may be prone to collect dirt, tearing or folding. You can only really inspect them to ensure that they are clean and not folded up in some way. If the machine is new possibly there is some excess plastic left by the factory that needs removing. You should also make sure that the plates on the machine that the seating seals sit on are clean and not scratched. These plates are the flat round areas on the clean water tank shelf. Lastly, the tank must seated properly and be locked in place with the tank handle. This opens the spring valves and compresses the seating seals. If the tank is not placed correctly it is possible that the seating seals will not seal against the plates but the spring valves will be held open. Wiggling the tank slightly when its locked in place might fix that. In my case I had the opposite problem of the water valve not opening at all until I exercised it. This is not a recommendation since it is not mentioned in the manual but I suspect the seals may benefit from a light application of waterproof silicone grease such as you might use on kitchen faucet O rings.

I suggest removing the plug and reinstalling the plug. We haven't had any issues with leaking.

sorry about late response email problems- Call vornado customer service if within 5 years of purchase a new one will be sent if you tell them it was leaking. Ours sprung a major leak in valve and let the whole tank drain within 1 hour.

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
