the pipe coming out of water bowl has to have an adaptor (pipe treads to hose adaptor) if I remember right, it 3/4 pipe to 5/8 hose or the size hose you are going to use.adaptor can be gotten at home depot for no more than $5.00. also use plumbers Teflon tape for added leak proofing. I mounted mine on a converted old desk that I cut in half. that way you can move it around as needed, and keeps the crap flying around from getting in the bowl. we have had it for about 3 years or so with no real problems after we used the adaptor. good luck with yours, Chris

The inlet is just a plain old hose connection. Be sure it has the gasket in the female twist on end of your hose.

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 had mine installed by a plumber. It has never leaked. Perhaps one of the hoses leading up to that head is not tightened?

Sounds like the hose isn't securely fastened into the slot. Make sure you turn it, and it sort of 'clicks' into place. Otherwise, I would guess a defective product?

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.

I have the same issue and don't have a solution yet (other than cleaning up the leaked water each day). Does anyone have a solution?

I did not have a leaking problem. Check all the connections and points where parts meet. I did install a shutoff in the gas line and each time I shut the unit off I turn off the gas and let it run dry, this helps reduce build up in the carburetor and hopefully will make the unit run well for a long time.

Turn off the water supply. The black end of the connector is hand screwed onto the flexible hose. Do not use pliers or wrench. That was the reason in my case that I had to replace this unit in the first place. The green end of the connection is a simple slide connection, Slide the green end down and then seat the connector over the faucet feed and release. I have found that it does not leak.

There should be no leaks. Be sure you have sealed the fittings with a good Teflon pipe joint sealer. If you still hear a leak, you may have a defective regulator.

I have this facet, I had to tighten the hose so it won't leak. I would call them at Amazon to fine out if its a leak or just need's to be tighten. Or just call Light In The Box they should be able to advise you the route to go.

I havent been able to use mine as it leaks in the house. I am not sure if it is the waterer or the hose which i bought new.

Sounds like you have a problem with your hose. I would just replace the hose and it should work fine.

if it is leaking around joints, unscrew the parts and put plumbers tape around the groove part. Then reconnect to see if this stops the leak.ooves.

The only leak we experience with ours is when we turn the shower off. It seems to be from the remaining water in the pipes. I assume, since you said you installed as as per instructions, you did use plummets tape. That would be the only reason I would think it would leak, if that wasn't used.

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

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.

No.. I have had my for a long while now.. and it never leaked.. you may want to call the company.. it sounds like you left something off while you were installing it.
