How do you know that you have a newer model that will not leak?

I cannot say that this model wont leak, but it hasn't leaked yet, I have had another ehiem filter that I've used on and off since 1988, when I bought it and it is still running, I have had other filters that have lasted 1-2 years. I would not consider another filter other than ehiem. My filter is powering an 80 gallon and is keeping it sparkling clear with no problems.

Yes, the previous unit started to leak and I replaced it with another. The present unit is working fine.

My first one leaked like yours. I threw it away and bought a new one. The new one has not leaked I would say return it!

I have the model with the easy-clean lid but without the new lock. They have never leaked and I lie them down on the seat of the car all the time. The lock keeps the button from opening the mouth access accidentally, but the seal on the lid seems to be completely leakproof regardless of the lock.

I've had mine since November and have never had a leakage problem. Could be faulty?? or over tightened?

Sorry, I haven't needed to check the seals. I would send it back if it's leaking out of the box. I assume that you mean it is new.

If this is the latest one, it does not leak like the original one which I had to pour over the sink.

I don't know but one way to come to a better conclusion is take the measurements of what you have and compare to the new model #. You can also contact the manufacture directly and ask.

Mine did not leak. If yours is leaking, it's probably a manufacturer's defect and you should return it.

I have never had a problem with it leaking. Some reviewers say this is an older model with better features which was why I purchased it.

I have had 2 of these over the past 3 years - and never had a leak. Check and make sure the water container is fitted properly on the unit. Maybe yours is defective.

Mine leaks too, no matter what I do and it's brand new. It doesn't leak at the hose, but between the plastic connectors.

I haven't had a leak problem from my cofee. It may be a good idea to check the manual for service information.

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.

Mine doesn't leak. i guess just like any other 'made in China' products, it's hit or miss.
