What has been done about the lid and stagnant water?

Not really sure what the issue is. We haven't had an issue with water getting inside the cap.

To be honest, our lid gets water in it, and I can usually shake most of it out.

The one I have has an open lid inside so no stagnant water issue. I have three and we are very pleased.

At the top where the water expulsion ports are, there is a plastic divider that moves back and forth, it can get stuck by leaves or debris. Move it back and forth with your finger a couple times and it will usually work fine after that...

I didn't repair it. I emailed Progressive and explained the problem. They sent me a new lid no questions asked. I got great customer service.

YES! If it is what happened to me it is coming from the lid. All of a sudden our tank leaked and we discovered that the water is traveling from the filter area down the side of the tank. The only way I could resolve this was to not press the lid all the way down - just rest it on top. Bummer cause otherwise I love this tank!

try removing the water bottle and draining whatever water is in there and start over. i have this water system and have not had a problem with it.

Hi George,I would first check the pressure in the holding tank to make sure it is correct.Have seen where water will come out fast but trickle off quickly and this is sometimes the problem.

There may be too much water in the base, empty it out and let it refill, hope this helps!

If the ground is too dense water will come up and over the top part where the clear lid is screwed on. Sometimes turning down the water pressure or find another area to put the probe in. I usually turn it on and go around pushing it in the soil until I find an area less dense and the water does not come out the top.

Reseat the bin containing the water. You probably didn't push hard enough or align it properly. After a couple of times you'll get used to it!

If the lid is not moving, I would take it off again and check the seal on the inside of the lid to make sure it is fitting properly. It should close very easily. Possibly the seal has come out of position or isn't fitting into the grove properly.

Agree, filling from the bottom is a pain. I just tried drilling a hole in the top and the water just runs out. Based on other responses it looks like I ruined it.

you check the water line if it is right at the line 3 and the lid is completely closed, it will have the job done in 15 minutes ( no any water spilled) otherwise yours is defected.

Hi water that is not flowing all the time becomes stagnant, it doesn't matter what containers you have it in. I have several different containers in different rooms including this one. After several fillings I have to soap all of them out. Every three weeks just give them a good cleaning.

The air is fine. Ours hasn't been covered since it got opened, and it hasn't dried out (and we're in the desert). Not sure about the water though.

Thanks much for the tip. I'll give it a try. I too am not too concerned about the inside of the lid.

I had that problem time to time after the first few years. An easy solution is, while it's on and seems to be stuck, pick it up straight out of the water and shake it side to side and front to back for about 15 seconds and place it back in the water. Hope this helps!
