I noticed a piece of metal in the bottom screen part of the plunger. Looks loose. Broken or supposed to look like this? Anyone else seen this?

Hello My Friend, As I am looking at mine right now, the screen looks normal and all in one peice. However it has a plastic shroud that keeps the coffee grounds contained on the bottom of the cup. This shroud is braced by a single wire type spring that has two ends extending out from each side of the shroud. this is probably for easy removal by depressing each side you can easily compress and remove the spring. other than that, it looks my screen is normal and free from ragged edges and deformaties. I do wish you the best of luck and many cheers. Sean......

I had the same issue. I guess their casting is off, in the end i just went ahead and trimmed it so it sat flat and flush. Mine is hidden under a console anyway. Just use some tin snips or grinding wheel to clearance it.

Yes, I experienced this. The primary issue I had was the metal plate was unbalanced and rubbed against the stainless at the opening. I tried unsuccessfully to rebalance and was never able to get it to work properly.

I have a bit of trouble with this too.Trick is :DO NOT un screw the bottom. You are going to have to to sit on your butt , take your right leg and pull on the plunger till it locks to the notch on the bottom. What ever you do , do not knock the plunger . insert the cartridge open end down. Peel off the top of the cartridge .Screw the top of the grease gun down.There is no reason ever to remove the bottom of the grease gun. This is the best grease gun I have ever owned.

Mine doesn't have any play in it. Maybe there is some type of defect? It might be worth it to do an exchange on it....after you hear from other purchasers to see if any others have the same problem. Sorry I could be of more help!

Did not encounter anything at all like that. I gave it to my wife as a gift, and she said that it was perfect. Will the company replace it for you since it sounds like there was problem in the manufacturing?

If you receive damaged merchandise, return it for a replacement at their cost. Mine came undamaged so I have no complaints with the seller. I, however have chipped the infuser on the edge. I super glued it and it works fine. I don't put it in the dishwasher so it is holding up great. Good luck!l

I had the same problem, i've only had it 3 months and started popping out. so I started to hold it in there manually with the plastic tip and then the hose broke off the adapter entirely. Would that be covered under warranty? I love this thing, just disappointed that my water pressure is to strong and caused it to start popping off.

Did yours break or are you just curious? I'm going to be putting one in my new house so that is a good question. I don't live in the house that I put this in anymore but it seems like it's a "sealed" design. If you can't find parts on amazon then probably not.

I doubt it is the sprinkler. It could be a small piece of debris that it keeping it from completing it's pattern. If it continues after you have cleaned it well, contact Gilmour. They are very proud of their products and are guaranteed for life. Did you also check the ring and parts thoroughly to make sure nothing is broken? Hopefully, you saved boxes with the instructions on it. Please stop worrying. Gilmour will take care of it by sending you new ones if these are defective and they do not ask for the return of the old ones. After checking everything and it's fine, try a soak in a vinegar/water solution. We can have hard water that causes problems although it has never happened to me and make sure you have enough water pressure so that it can complete it's pattern. You can contact Gilmour at www.gilmour.com. They have a form for you to fill out and a toll free number to ask questions.

It's so funny. I like this q&a thing. Idk I have has this happen before. Does there seem like there is less material in the tube as well and are the rubber washer things different. My guess is that it just is extremely old and things change in the tube. The company will send you a new one though if you call them and send it to them.

Time for a new iron. The main water container has a pinhole size hole in it. Sometime the water contaminates cause this. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Finkcreek

Get in to your Amazon purchases and go to the plunger purchase. In that order page there SHOULD be a "contact seller" button. If not write a review and tell Amazon of your problem. They are very good about replacing items. I have had to return only a few, but my experiences have been good. Hope this helps!

I pulled the spout off mine and looked down inside. Soap scum builds up inside the pump mechanism and prevents the pump from resetting itself. I dripped a few drops of mineral oil inside the plunger mechanism, and now mine works as good as new. Another user in a review had good results using Dezcal, a descaler, in his, and apparently it also broke down the scum or deposits and helped his pump work, too. Dezcal is quite useful for descaling all sorts of things. (Amazon sells it in several different packages.)

I believe that the piece inside, along with the mesh screen, should remain inside the adapter. The piece inside is probably there to help seal, and prevent leaking from the faucet.

Unscrew that black piece on the top of the plunger. You have to feed the plunger part up from the bottom to get it in right.

I suggest you return it immediately. The same happened to me the first time. I ran the risk and ordered it again and had better luck the 2nd time. The issue is I had to pay the plumber twice. Make sure the water does not stay inside the plastic compartment after usage. It will probably last longer.
