Save yourself some money and just replace the black rubber water valve. Carefully remove the old one. To replace the new one (which will not come with instructions) put a little soap around the rim and it will pop in with little effort.

Any time I have had a similar problem, it had something to do with the seal between the head and the tank. Take a good look at the seal in the groove on the head, and take a paper towel and use a small screw driver to wipe it clean. Then make sure you really tighten the head to the tank. If this did not work, and your unit has a pressure relieving valve, check and make sure it is not leaking when tank is pumped and pressurized. If the wand is somehow leaking you may have to buy a new wand.I'd put my money on the seal between the tank and head.

Make sure the tubing/vent openings are clear and clean. Use distilled water as directed, and change the water bottle, which may be helpful.

I would first take the unit apart and determine the source of the leak. You may be able to repair it.I posted repair instructions in my 5 start review. Click on my name to see my reviews or look for the review with this title:"No leaks for 6 years, then DIY repair fixed it, August 23, 2013"

Leaking could be that the tanks are not sitting right. Take them off and place them back in again making sure it is sitting in right.

I took mine apart and put Vaseline around the water inlet fitting, which has done the trick for over six months now. I disconnected the fittings, coated the water line and fitting with Vaseline and reassembled. I asked my local hardware store person about the leaking and he suggested this. It works!

Deborah make sure you have properly sealed the tank before placing in onto the base. Physically inspect the base for any cracks. Make sure that that the base is empty when you put it in your room then place the tank onto the base. This will insure that the tank is not leaking as a result of being moved while full. Good luck. This device is truly easy to use and has been flawless for us. I like its simplicity and it has been a lifesaver for my kids when they are sick.

Make sure that the O rings are in the quick connect fittings, if not replace, lube the area where the O rings are and reattach hoses, I haven't had any leaks in mine.

Maybe but if you can it would be better to take it to a radiator shop to have the leak fixed. Next best thing I would try is stop leak. Auto parts stores sell it especially for radiator leaks.JB water weld worked on my hot water tank for about 2 years until the hole rusted out more.

Take the tank out and you will see 2 wing nuts on the top turn them and the back part will lift off then you can clean it with vinager and water. Easy!!!

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.

Ok, first I never fill totally full the tank, only 80% maximum. Second, in your case you should contact the seller no matter which part has problem. I had leaking problem in the filter machine before. They helped to solve it. The seller has very good customer service.

You probably need to have the valve connected to the propane tank cleaned. I'm not sure how to do that.

It was very simple to replace. You just need to close off the water supply valve and open up the dispenser at your sink until no more water comes out. The bladder in the old tank is probably damaged so there will still be quite a lot of water left in the tank. Remove the tank and turn upside down in your sink until all the water is gone. Then, just hook up the new tank to the same connections as was used on the old tank. Turn the water back on and let the tank gradually refill with the RO water. Open up the dispenser and empty the new tank at least one time before using.

The tank might need air. Turn off supply to r/o. Expel all water from tank. Put 7 psi of air in tank. Check if valve leaks by putting soapy water on valve.

Lift the tank straight up off the machine. Unscrew the black cap & fill with water & formula. Replace and tighten the cap. Put tank back on machine.

Depending on the age & where it's leaking from you may be able to have the seals replaced. I wouldn't put much $ into repair though. If it's not very low cost just replace it.
