Leaking? I've ordered 2 of these so far, and they both are leaking between the part where the silver thing screws onto the faucet and the white plastic starts - not around the threads.

I was able to remedy the problem by flipping the gasket over. The rounded side should go toward the filter. Unfortunately Culligan customer service hasn't been able to figure this one out and has been telling their customers to remove this very necessary gasket altogether.Unfortunately I was not able to remedy the situation where the filter compartment leaks after trying to change the filter just one time. I'm glad I tested removal and replacement of the filter right away to make sure I would have room to do so after installation rather than to wait 3 months to find out that once you open it, it will likely leak after.

I also flipped the gasket inside the silver piece around. It came with the rounded side pointing out toward the direction of where you would screw it into the shower arm. I turned it so the rounded side is pointing back into the silver part, and so the flat side is visible. I put two revolutions of tape on the shower arm and I only needed to screw on the filter hand-tight to have no leaks. The plastic part where the showerhead screws on to the filter, I did have leak though even with the tape, so I had to tighten that with a can opener (dont have a wrench lol). Once the showerhead was tightened up I've had no leaks whatsoever (yet). I also flipped the gasket inside the silver piece around.

You are not alone. I have the exact same issue. I too am on my second one and even that leaks now. It's annoying.

I have had this problem 3 times. Returned twice, third time found a fix online: 1) check the gasket, as mentioned. you may need to flip it 2) use pliers or a vice grips to "overtighten" it. If you follow the instructions and tighten by hand, you will have a problem with the metal fitting leaking. This is technically a defect, but it can be corrected very easily.

Thanks, T.B. for posting about flipping the gasket over because that solved the leaking during my installation!

I have the same faucet and no issues whatsoever. Could it be a part is missing on not properly installed? Good luck!

I have not had any leaks from the spigot, do a water test when you get it. Make sure the rubber gasket is seated correctly.

I've had my faucet installed since September of last year. I haven't had any issues with it at all and we are always in the kitchen. I would contact the manufacturer as it sounds like a defect in that faucet. Maybe they'd replace it for free? Good luck!

I had the exact same problem and is was leaking until I really torqued it down. With the extremely course threads, typical for this connection, it was a matter of maybe a millimeter between sealed and not. We chose not to use it. I may try another, thicker, gasket and try it again but I don't know if that will help or not. I have not encountered this problem with other hoses or connections. I was replacing the same hose and connections that was in good use for about two years and never had this problem before. I was replacing the previous hose because the hose itself just wore out due to high usage. I had the exact same problem and is was leaking until I really torqued it down.

Can you determine where the leak is coming from? We had to replace our spigot on a brand-new British Berkey because of a defect in manufacturing. Millenium Concept would not honor the warranty because we had purchased through Amazon. They said we needed to return the spigot to Amazon and get Amazon to request the replacement. We skipped that hassle and just bought a new spigot and it works find. But with two diffent ones leaking, I think your problem will most likely be resolved by one of the other suggested fixes. It is rare when any part of a new Berkey fails, in my experience.

Okay I did write to Delta and sent the following reply: "Thank you for contacting us. We appreciate your interest in Delta Faucet Company products. I would be happy to help you.The metal body parts of the faucet are cast brass.Please contact us back if you have any questions or need further assistance. Best Regards, KeriConsumer Response Representative"I guess that we will be ordering more this summer during the Dallas remodel. Thanks BMF again for making us aware of the potential problem : ) gm

I've had mine since August 2012 and have had no problems whatsoever. I assume you mean the control section that sticks out to the side. Was it damaged in any way during install or use? On mine, I had to connect the water line before mounting it to the toilet as it would have been in the way. If by any chance you are referring to the water shut off valve coming out of your wall, I've learned to NEVER try to turn them off. They are usually badly corroded internally and start leaking (or worse, the handle comes off in your hand) after you turn the handle. I found that out when I replaced some sink faucets. Instead, use the street valve to shut off all water to the house and save yourself an emergency trip to Home Depot for a replacement valve, if it's not past closing time and you now have no running water until you can get to them when they open the next day.

I've had mine for two months and I was also concerned about leaks, because of where the dispenser was to be placed. I'm happy to say no leaks - be mindful assembling the spigot and realize that occasionally you will have an errant drip, just like off your kitchen faucet.My stand was finished.

Is it leaking the 'air' at the point where the aluminum bottom threads into the black top? If so, I would (which you may have already tried) try to make sure that the inner "straw/stem" piece is seated/centered properly and the top is as snug (without breaking it, obviously) as you can get it. I've had the situation - where mine also leaked as it was pressurized and I had to take the top back off and re-seat the stem piece. Now that I'm more careful to make sure it's seated right, I haven't had any more trouble (and I use it all the time). Also, make sure there is no debris that may be keeping the seal from seating properly. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I am not a plumber but it sounds like there may be a issue in the hot water line leading to your faucet. Perhaps if your line uses flexible tubing it may be slightly kinked or the copper line coming out the bottom of the faucet has been bent beyond the amount used in new faucets. It is worth mentioning that brand new faucet hot water lines have a kink or restriction in them when you purchase them, perhaps your's has been bent beyond that point. Good luck.

Make sure the threads are not rusted...this could lead to a dangerous leak!

I am glad to see someone else has this problem! I have had mine replaced 4 times! Did you ever get yours working? I had an old model for 10 years that never leaked, so I know what I'm doing. Frustrating.

Where exactly is it leaking, the hose connections? Did you use plumbers seal tape on the connectors? If not, you need to wrap the threads with it then screw on the hoses or you will get leaks.

You have a defective sprayer....I've bought three of these and never had a problem leaking....e-mail them..this is way too expensive to be loosing so much product

Nope. I've owned three, zero leaks. Could it be overfilled? If you can verify the leak (maybe from a line?) I'd send it back. Good luck!

Amazon asked me to answer this question, but others did it very well. So..."ditto". Great faucet, by the way! I've had mine for several years, with only one ceramic disk replaced to stop a leak. I'm hard on things, so you might not have that problem. If you do, it's not hard to fix yourself, if you have even a little know-how. Enjoy!
