Tank leaks at threads when installed. Empties out onto floor. Appears defective?

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

make sure it is threaded on right mine will leak if not on correctly otherwise works great do you have the white colored inside part screwed on tight ?? that will cause it to leak it may be defective but I had to redo the white insert because I didn't have it on tight and it leaked all over redid it and no leaks at all used all winter with no problems

Mine leaked a little too. I put some Vaseline on the threads and tighten it good. Hasn't leaked since but it's a pain opening it sometimes

Your only option is to make it tighter. Over time I had to get mine tighter and tighter to prevent it from leaking. After a while I had to use a jar opener to open the tank. Yes, I actually bought a jar opener to be able to use this humidifier. :) Poor design. I have a new humidifier now that is far better than Heaven Fresh.

what part of the unit is the water coming from. turn off the water tank, check all connections. I've had two leaks from defective/broken parts. The company replaced these parts free of charge. If parts are broken and you purchased through Amazon, go to Amazon web site. prior orders, contact supplier. explain problem. When I did this the company emailed me within 24 hours. hope this helps/ good luck/Craig

I would make sure you have a vent on tank. I noticed on mine with a gravity feed it would drain very slow so I installed a breather. Worked great after that.

need to be purged and vacuum tested after installing, then recharged only after confirming no leaks for 30 or 40 minutes.

maybe it has different threads? or is it leaking?if it's just leaking use Teflon tape. if it's the threads, home depot might have thread adapters.

My machine does not leak at all - not when stored with water and soap in the upper tanks, and not when running. If yours is leaking, I would say it needs repair.

Yes ours is leaking also, what have you tried? My husband thinks he needs to tork the screws tighter. Wanted me to see if anyone else had this problem and how they fixed it.

Maybe water leakage to inside?Need to strongly tighten unit to prevent leakage

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!

I am not sure because I don't have this issue, but my only thought is that you have the valve to the hose open at all times. I don't think the product is made to keep pressure at all times. That would explain the constant leaking as well as the fact that it leaks more when you flush (due to the additional water pressure). I would try turning off the hose where it meets up with the toilet tank and if that doesn't solve it, then you should see about getting that piece replaced.

I didn't experience a problem and I had two of these. First, make sure you empty the condensation tank on a regular basis. Second, make sure it's level. If the unit is on some type of uneven surface, that could cause water to leak out. Also you can run an evaporative drain hose from the tank bib to continually drain the tank if you're in a high humidity area. Other than that, I'd call LG technical support.

I had the same problem, because of the bottom rubber gasket that makes it really hard to screw down tightly. I solved it by getting rid of the gasket and using plumbers putty instead. No leaks.

So far ours is not leaking. That said it was only installed 2 months ago. Thanks for the heads up about this potential issue. I'll keep an eye on it and update my review if it becomes a problem.

Visably check the threads. Also the galvinized plug in the top is usualy not tight, could the leak be from there?This is by far the best pump I have ever worked with but the threads may be visably defecctive.

We've had our Jura for 6+ years and the tank has never leaked. Where is it leaking from? It may be a gasket or you may need a new tank :( I'm sorry I couldn't be more help.

I was having the same problem with mine leaking dirty water all over the floor and, determined not to let the thing beat me, I fought with it. I found that the black gasket that is supposed to be at the junction between the collection tank and the machine was stuffed up inside the tube and was therefore simultaneously preventing proper suction and preventing dirty water from getting into the tank. I pulled out the gasket and put it back in its proper place and Presto! It is perfect again. Just thought I would post this in case someone else was having the same problem. It was easily fixed for me once I realized what was wrong.

No, I've never had any problems with my tank at all. you may have just got a defective one. you may need to get it replaced.
