How can i stop the leak from the cap?

I've bought two of these. The first one, I was not able to. The second one didn't really have that problem.My experiences from the first one was that no matter how tightly I screwed the cap on, it would still leak if the bottle was on its side. I never had an issue from either of mine leaking from the cap when it was right-side up. If it leaks from that position, you probably should get a new one because that's not supposed to happen whatsoever.

Yes, I have had trouble getting the cap off. I will try the suggestions listed below. Thank you so much.

Maybe I got a faulty flip top cap because it Does leak. I bought the regular screw cap to replace.

Hi Jase,I've noticed that if I fill the bottle to capacity there could be some liquid leaking. However, as long as there's some room between the bottom of the cap once fastened all the way, you should have no leaking.Also, could be good to check the rubber seal to see if it's been warped or damaged. If it's looking good, there should be no problem fastening it nice and tight.Hope that helps...

Place a zip tie around the hose and the connector and tighten it down to stop the leaks. Be sure the hose is all the way on before using the zip tie.

There is a gasket on top of the pump, sometimes it get's stuck inside the lid. Plug the hoses and drain the water from the pump. Take the gasket from the lid and put it back I to the groove in the top of the pump. That should solve the leak.

Our tank also leaked. We tightened the cap even more and that seemed to work.

I have not had any issues removing the cap at all. I love the look and feel of this shaker and have had no problems with leaks either.

You can stop the leak if you put first a piece of plastic bag (clean) or wrapping plastic then the lid

I would recommend soaking the lid in vinegar for awhile, and i have even cleaned the float valve (? - circular stop valve) w/ q-tips -- clean that area out really well. I would also recommend highly to use coffee filters vs. the reuable gold filter. Once i cleaned and used disposible filters -- it stopped the leaking. Good luck to you~!

put tape on the fitting and only tighten it till it is facing up.... you don't have top tighten it up so much it will seal

You can use rubber cement to make the spigot one piece. That is where most leaks occurre. If your leak is at the body of the container you only real option is Teflon tape. When you start to put on your cap always turn counter clockwise so the threads line up then tighten as normal. With both pieces being made of different types of plastic it is very easy to cross thread the container. That would cause a leak that is non repairable.

You need to apply the teflon tape in all thread joints and it will stop the leak. Good luck. Tony

I just put water in it, put the cap on, and shook it. It doesn't leak. Unless you squeeze it, then it will leak.

Use the edge of a thin flat head screw driver; you want to be able to replace it as it helps prevent evaporation by not just relying on the plastic screw cap.

1st of all, do it FAST! Twist fast until completely tight. Here ia a trick; vasoline all around the narrow top of the cartridge. This provvides a leak prevention and will also stop slow leaks once cartridge is set ;)

Make sure it is somewhat level. Keeping the bottom opening to the high side. When I tighten mine i just barely tighten it and it works like a champ. I also put vaseline on the inside of the cap to help when trying to open. Good luck.
