I got this unit to put onto an existing crock, and found that it leaks at the crock/water cooler junction. Any ideas for how to prevent this leaking?

Did you remove the plastic bushing that used to sit between the water bottle and the cooler? I did and I had some leakage - when I returned the bushing (ring), the fit wasn't great, but the unit sealed such that I can have the lower portion of the filter unit 1/2 full and not have leaking. If that doesn't work, you can try a sheet of silicone or food grade rubber and cut a hole in it for the filter unit to sit. Alternatively, the filter unit comes with a check valve that is supposed to close off the filter from the crock when the crock is full - is that operating?

Can't say for sure, but if the leak is between the cooler and the systems lower reservoir, make sure where the float valve connects to the reservoir there are TWO silicone rings/washers and that the nut is tight so air won't seep in. One silicone ring/washer should be on each side of the bottom of the reservoir on the float valve neck. So it should go float valve, silicone ring/washer, reservoir bottom, then another ring/washer, then the nut.If after checking the above you still have an overfill fill condition the float valve may not be working or sticking.Hope that helps.

That's doesn't sound good. I use mine with a refrigeration unit. Not familiar with the "Crock" I know I had to remove the ring that holds the water bottles so that the new water filter unit would fit snug. If the cup that hangs below the filter doesn't hang freely then more water will flow and will leak. I hope this is helpful.

Did you check if maybe you overfilled the unit? If not, than maybe you should return for a new one. I have had mine for 6 months and i have never had a leak. So maybe your unit could be defected?

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

Hello Vikas, firstly you need to determine the source of the leak. It is most likely from one of the connections. Try to isolate which one. If that is the case you can easily fix it yourself by checking each one and making sure that they are tight. If it is coming from the body of the unit then you should return it because that would mean that the product is defective. The instructions aren't great. I would gladly send you a picture of the unit already connected so that you could see it more easily but I don't think there is a way of attaching a picture to my answer. Best of luck.

The only way that you are going to have a leak is if you do something to the unit like modding it. All in one units are stringently tested to make sure they will not leak, otherwise they wouldn't be placing this item on the market. Like most coolants used this is more than likely distilled water which has zero conductivity. I hope this answers your questions.

Mine Still works and hasn't leaked. I put grease on the o-rings to help prevent it leaking. If it's within 30 days call the vendor and see if you can get a replacement.

Hi Vikas, i had that same problem in the beginning, I changed the hose and it still happened but it wasnt drastic, i tightened the hose and since its been fine with no problems. Not sure where it is leaking from but check the hose connections, I hope this helps.

You have to tighten up on it pretty well, or it leaks...I had to use a channel lock pliersto really get a grip...after that...no issues...Maybe after 50 gallons, you might try tightening up a little...see what happens...hope this helps!

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!

The best way to approach this is to use a drill bit gauge and thread the post of the thermometer through the appropriate hole and take it from there. I say this because I drilled a hole incrementally smaller than the post and that allowed me to screw the 7581 through the hole and seal the opening with some high temp gasket maker (auto supply store has this). This created a lasting and non-leaking bond. Good luck. BTW this really works!!

I dont think it is normal, but i hear this particular item has this flaw compared to other models. I started to double check the rubber ring and the lid for any food debris left, and normally the leaking didnt happen. Hope you try that.

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.

Ours is leaking uncontrollably. We had the maintenance guy in our building come put it in so I know it's not an installation error.

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.

I have not had any leaks from the spigot, do a water test when you get it. Make sure the rubber gasket is seated correctly.

Hello Joel,I have a Rival Crock Pot Slow Cooker as well with the plastic handle. My question to you is did you get this handle to work and was the bolt to short or the diameter to big/small?Thank you in advance!

Hi Shawn. We had the same problem.we started the installation at three o'clock so that it will end up closer and then back to it off and install the clamp. We had no leak.
