I've had my QuickBreeze for about five years (love it) and just recently it won't stay attached. As soon as I turn on the water, it detaches from base on the faucet. Any suggestions?

This is an old question now so you've probably dealt with it, maybe by contacting the company, as they recommend. That said, it may have been the ball bearings. There are three of them, inside the fitting which attaches to the faucet. They are, I believe, what keeps the thing attached. If you lose one, it can still work. Two, probably not.

Don't know. Haven't had that problem, but I've only had mine for 2-3 years. Perhaps it's time to get a new one. They are inexpensive enough. I love mine as well, and wouldn't hesitate to get another.

I have not had that problem but I haven't had mine as long so unfortunately I don't have any suggestions. they are reasonably priced so it may be worth getting a new one.

Please look inside the coupling part attached to the hose and see if all three ball bearings are in place. My QuickBreeze started detaching after about a year because a ball bearing fell out.

Sometimes you have to turn it just the right way or it doesn't "connect" to the faucet...I have mine for over a year and I really love it - it's a great product at a great price. Maybe the company can better answer this question.

Wow, mine is the same age and may have the same issue! The hose barb on mine developed a crack along the seam in the plastic. I found a new one online right here at Amazon: "Solo 4074654 Sprayer Hose Barb". Expensive for a little plastic part. I wrote to Solo about the issue, but never received a response. This one will be delivered today in fact...

Sounds like a short somewhere, mine has worked fine, the only problem I have had is it leaks water al over, have to get some auqarium sealent and use it and see if that would work, Good luck, hope you can send it back and have them replace it.

Mine also broke after a few months of use and what I did I emailed the seller and luckily he told me he will send a one time replacement free of charge; try it. If this doesn't work, try Lowe's, Home Depot, or call your plumber, they should have replacements.

It has nothing to due with hoses or lengths. The problem is with the internal seal of the pump head or the seal of the quick change valve. Either the O-rings on the valve are not sealing properly or the pump head is not properly sealed internally. You can try a little silicone lube on the valve O-rings to see if that stops it. Mine did the same thing! What fixed it was to return to Amazon for a replacement. Everything was fine with the new one.

Hi Sharon, We had that problem 7 months ago. Called Cuisinart and they felt it was black insert which hold the gold filter. Take the black insert out...you'll see on bottom of it there is a gadget that goes up and down...ours stopped going up and down (ha) and the water was not getting thru. If your's is under 3 yrs. they will send you new one. Hope this helps. Pat

I had the exact same issue with mine. Make sure the quick disconnect is seated properly and the hoses aren't kinked. Also, taking out some of the sponges helps a little and increases the flow. That worked for me for a little bit. I eventually filed a warranty claim and within a few days API had sent me a brand new one and it has never leaked. You may need to do the same.

Hi Don, I know of many customers who have had their Quickbreeze as long as a Redibreeze. In theory, you would think that the permanent unit would last longer, but I don't have any proof of that being true.

sometimes mine gets a bit stuck. I just wiggle the spout a bit to loosen it and it works. If not, I do replace mine every 2 years or so as it will give up.

The kit comes with an adapter that replaces your current aerator (uses the same threads from the faucet). From what i can tell no ability to support a aerator on top of the aerator. This would affect how the quick release hose works.

i lost mine too, but it seemed to function okay without leaking. however it may eventually. i would look for a replacement if you are going to keep the unit.

DO NOT PULL IT OUT ALL THE WAY. The retraction will break and it won't go back in. This faucet broke the second time I retracted it.

I had one that did that. return it asap! It can't be fixed. I've had three. One failed the second time I used it, doing what yours is doing. The other sheared open along a 4 foot length of hose and the water poured out there. The only one I've had that has lasted is the one made by Rumford. The other two were useless!

Often unfortunately (about once every year and a half). Clean out under your sink, put on your long arms and find this part attached under the faucet. The two hose connections are quick connect type and can be removed by sliding the fittings until the hose pulls away. They both work a little differently, so you may need to fiddle with them a bit. Next, you need to remove the metal clip at the top of the part. Removing it is easy as you can simply stick a screwdriver in the looped part of the clip and yank it out. At this point the old part is free. Study how the clip goes in because placing the new part back is the trickiest part. At this point expect to use some foul language as you figure out how to get the metal clip to successfully attach the new diverted. Remember how you did it because you will likely have to do it again. The quick connect hoses just slide on and click in making them fairly curse free. Good luck. I order two at a time. What a fine part design...

Yep, mine started leaking and falling off and now won't stay on, almost as is the two little white pieces that pinch the faucet hose to stay on are broken. After only 1 month or two it's broken and now I have extra filters i won't use.

I haven't had that problem yet, I just bought mine this past summer. Maybe the nozzle unscrews or you could stick a needle through the holes at the nozzle end. That is, assuming you are using the lever on top to open the water flow.

UGH, I do not know what to say but contact Dupont or send it back if it is defective. If you twisted it off when you received it, I don't understand why it wont go back on. sorry. I have only had good results with them, maybe you got a bum.
