Yes. We have patched our older one with the patch square that was included and it held just fine.

Before you try to replace it, you may have the same problem I had. Mine was leaking excessively, but upon reading the included care instructions, I discovered that you can remedy the leakage by reaching one hand inside the container and one outside. Grab the spigot and twist to tighten. It will need to the tightened each time you use it, but if you give a good turn, it will last a while. Hope this helps!

It was leaking around the area it screws onto the faucet. There was no hole to patch and threads were not stripped, just leaked about half the water at the faucet with no way to fix it.

I had the same problem. After using a wrench to get the whole thing off, then used more tools to get it apart, it leaked like a sieve after I screwed it back on. I'd like to know the answer myself because I bought a new one.

The one we just replaced was at least 5 years old. We have another one that is still being used . The leak was very small and we could have fixed but we felt a new one would be better.

I had the leaking problem described here. Took the handle off and took the cartridge out. Looked fine - I noticed the cartridge nut was loose when I unscrewed it so I hand tightened it and it stopped leaking for a day. I took off the handle again and tightened the Cartridge nut with a wrench until snug (the nut is plastic and I did not know how tight it should be. Definitely don't over-tighten). The leak is gone but there is nothing in the documentation on how much to tighten.

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.

Unfortunately, the industry does not provide adequate fixes for tubes that require more than small patch. I have had a large towable leak at the seams, which is unrepairable. I then researched vigorously to find a replacement tube, and was not successful. Most of what is out there as a replacement is close to the price of new one, especially when they are on sale or become clearance items. The only other resource might be to check out the pool patches for soft sided lined pools. Those patch kits are larger, and the bonding glue is impressively strong.

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

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.

Yes the ring can be patched. To find the hole inflate the ring and listen for the leak or use water and look for bubbles.

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.

Where exactly is it leaking, the hose connections? Did you use plumbers seal tape on the connectors? If not, you need to wrap the threads with it then screw on the hoses or you will get leaks.

Yes, does not fit properly. The installer had to go through a lot of tricks to make it work. Hopefully won't leak

I haven't had this problem. Have you tried tightening it to see if that helps? I remember at least one other reviewer had the same problem. Once he/she tightened it, it no longer leaked. Hope that helps

Mine definitely doesn't leak. Check to make sure the inside valve is locked in place and that the lid is screwed on correctly. If all of those are done then I would request a return/exchange.
