The impeller lid comes off after 5 mins in water. Am I doing something wrong, or is my piece defective?

Impeller lid?? My pump does not have a lid. I plugged it in 4 months ago and has not had an issue, you may want to contact the seller.

Be sure the water cap is completely closed. When I first purchased mine, I realized once that I had not completely closed it so that it "snapped."

My guess it is probably from the motor. I suggest you call customer service at Blendtec. I got rid of mine after 2 years because of too many issues with the leaking seals and exploding lid. Never fill it up completely. Always fill it no more than 3/4 full.

I haven't had a problem with the lid coming off. You need to push it untill you feel the 'click' engaging. Maybe stretch out a couple of paperclips, clip one end through loop on top and other through the mesh?

This must be defective. I would send it back. I've had mine and used it for five months; having my pool cleaned daily. Never had anything wrong happen to it. I would send back and ask for another. I love my Aquabot!!!!!

I have not had this problem. I rarely remove the reservoir but when I do the power cord can get jammed when replacing it. I'm guessing this is not your problem but is the closest thing to your problem I've experienced. I did contact Krups with a problem with the lid and they sent a replacement fairly quickly, if you can't correct the problem contact Amazon or Krups directly.

I had a similar issue. I took it apart, cleaned out the rotor and siphon tube, and it seemed to fix the problem. The flow control in the siphon tube had caught some algae and quickly plugged up the system.

is the lid on tightly??? see if it comes off, rinse dry and replace. see if that makes a difference.

Are you sure? Perhaps, it just needs to be cleaned. Take a look at the directions that describe how to remove and clean the impeller. This magnetic levitated propeller may need to cleaned along with its housing or case. You may need needle-nosed pliers or tweezers will work. If cleaning doesn't work, Drs. Foster & Smith online have the replacement. They have discounted prices and good service. I purchased my tank from them.

I have had this product for some 5 years now and have not had the problem. I agree that you might not get sufficient water pressure INTO the filter and thus out from the filter to the tank. Or the mechanism that shuts it off is set to shut off too soon??

If it won't brew then it is the water pump. Either it needs to be primed (see advice from others) or it may be faulty. My current one needs to be primed every now and then.

It may be defective. The lid can be removed for cleaning, so look for packing debris blocking the input. Check that the tube is connected. The unit we received would leak a lot from the column that the power cord entered even after we plugged the hole with a rubber stopper. We decided to swap it out for a fountain with a gallon jug like an office water cooler--happiness!

This is a pretty simple device, and I have not experienced anything like this. Assuming that your water supply has a constant pressure, I would suspect that the pump may be failing and is "locking up" intermittently. I would check and see that the hose from the water supply is not kinking and the hose to the nozzle is also not kinking, though either of these would be fairly conspicuous.i would think. The first one of these I bought failed completely after about 8 hours use, I returned it for a replacement and have had no problems with it.

I would email the Kruzco customer service, they replaced one for me because the lid wouldn't seat properly. Not had a problem with it shutting off after 4hours. K

where is the leak in the bottom cap , if so check to see if the gasket is there. and also see if its not ripped/ torn anywheres along the edges . if it the little plunger make sure there is no scale build up on it that might keep it open when you turn the reservoir back over when you carry it . other wise it may have a crack some place .

My top, the end with the little funnel, comes off as an assembly with a quarter turn to the left (lefty loosey - righthy tighty). As Lionel says, the assembly is glued, although my funnel slips off (not glued). There is a rubber seal that may be the reason yours is sticking so tightly because I've had a similar problem with whole house water filter that wouldn't unscrew due to a tight rubber seal.

Could be you aren't tightening it enough. There should be two gaskets, one on the outside and one on the inside. If that's still not fixed it you might have either a crack in the spigot/gasket or the ceramic has a crack. There aren't that many things that could go wrong so hopefully one of those things is your answer.
