Removed the rubber ring to clean and can't get it back on correctly -- now it leaks. Any one have a secret?

Hey Book Buyer...Which Rubber ring are you talking about...on the Plastic mouth piece? You may have it upside down. Make sure you put the Flat side against the mouthpiece and make sure its fully seated against the mouthpiece.

I've tried pliers and even a hammer and it still won't budge. If it is not on tight, then it leaks. But as it is nearly impossible to remove, am tossing out the unit today and have canceled my subscription for the filters.

Check your rubber seal and make sure it fits properly. There should be no leaks, turned on or off. Maybe have a bad unit, or just a bad seal. Mine has worked fine, but I use mine for polishing and not for the main filter.

I started at the bottom and lifted the black rubber up. I gently pulled it off the bottom corners then slipped it off. I would try not to stretch it too much or it won't stay tight on the plastic when you put it back on.

Look in the center of the spray adjustment wheel. There should be a screw. Try tightening it and that may stop your problems with it leaking.

I ran into the same problem. With patience, and by turning it gently and carefully, I finally got it to come off. It helps to screw it on carefully, and evenly, however, it was often difficult to remove. I eventually got a different (slightly more expensive) filter and adapter ring. Good luck with it!

I tried lubricating the gasket with oil, soaking the unit in hot water, and twisting the filter with my hands and pliers many, many times. It wouldn't budge. This worked for me: 1) Reattach the whole filter unit to the faucet (Screw the metal swivel collar back on tightly.). 2) Hit one of the 3 finger tabs sticking out from the bottom of the filter sideways to your left with a hammer several times until it starts to move. 3) Twist the filter to your left with your fingers until it comes out completely. FINALLY SUCCESS!!

Wow. Sorry, I haven't had that problem. Depends on where it's leaking. Might try a new cleaning cartridge and then call the manufacturers help line if that doesn't work.. you can also clean it manually if needed. Check your Operation manual. Might be a stop-gap till you can get it fixed. Good Luck.

I've tried to remove it but without luck. So ive had to clean it with a sponge. Not as efficient.

Try spraying the circumference of the ring with a little dry silicone lube. It will loosen up some with use. It's weird that it fits great in the stored position. I didn't mess with it other than that. Not bad at all now.

Did you notice a rubber washer? It sounds like the washer may have not been seated properly so water leaked in it.

It's not easy to do lol, I ended up with a sharp tug and a quick pull and the rubber came off the case. It may take you a few minutes but yoyou should be able to get itit off.

My o-ring leaked at first, and my dad jut kept taking it off and putting it back on and tightened it until it quit leaking. I thing what happened is that it wasn't going o the threads correctly. I hope this help you!!! Be blessed!!!

There's a square rubber peice in the top of the mag, push it down as much you can. And just play w it a little. It stopped mine from leaking, and works good now!

Unscrew the bottom of the blender if the old ring will not come off with a little prying with the tip go a fork or thin screw driver. soak the part the ring is stck to in warm soapy water and it should come loose. Sometimes the ring gets tacky in old age. Good luck

I would removed both gasket on each side and do it again and tighten it enough so that it does not leak. If it still leak, go to any hardware store and just get a new gasket.

Try some oil or grease, you can clean it off with a solvent if it doesn't work
