Is it normal to have an inch of water in bottom of basin after a month or so? On a bathroom lounge countertop. Not sure if I have a plumbing leak.

I think it only means you have a "large" amount of humidity in your bathroom. The DampRid product usually corrects the problem. Keep using it, but don't forget to drain.

Yes! The point of the product is to take moisture out of the air. The water has to go somewhere... Lol

You probably just have a lot of humidity in the air. My house is built into a hillside, and the lowest level is underground level in the front and opens out onto the patio in the back. My bathroom is toward the front and during the summer months the DampRid System collects a lot of moisture from the air - an inch a month is not unusual.

Sounds like you got a dud. Mine starts dripping on the way from filling it up at the faucet to setting it back on top of the unit.

I got frustrated at first with this issue as well, but I was able to address it and prevent it completely with just a little practice. Because the ports are not welded and with the different thicknesses of metal (kettle vs. hardware) a little leakage (a few drops) during heating is completely normal and should stop once all the metal is heated thoroughly. It shouldn't leak at all at room temperature or after everything has come up to temperature, and here are a few tips to keep everything as well-sealed as possible: (1) Keep the nuts snug but not over-tight. Trust the O-rings to do their job; (2) Be sure to use enough thread tape to keep everything well-sealed and to avoid parts seizing together; (3) Don't be afraid to disassemble and reassemble a few times to get everything just right. It takes some practice, but you'll get the hang of the right tightness after a few times doing it right; (4) Test the assembly in your tub or shower (or outside on the lawn) with regular tap water and use the time to get the feel for how tightly the hardware should be put together. After a little tinkering, you'll find the sweet spot.

I don't put any water in the bottom....I thought it was for the draining after washing....

Could be mineral buildup. It happened to mine along the seams at the bottom, but it took took two years rather than two months for it to happen. You might have particularly hard water. We have one of those filters at the sink, so the water is less mineral laden. You'll have to get a cleaning kit from Simplex since just about every other product on the market messes with the tin. I wasn't happy about paying an additional $40, but Simplex customer service told me I'd get more than 20 cleanses out of it. And it worked like a charm.

I've had mine for just about a year, and no issues with water at all, even behind the faucet. I just wipe up any spills, just like on my regular counter surface.

mine sets next to the sink and gets water drops on it all the time...and I wipe it off occasionally because our water leaves a white residue behind...other then that, nothing noticed.

I think a little leaking is normal, make sure the container of water is securely on the base. I set mine on a towel just in case but I haven't noticed much leaking.

Once I removed the spongy water filter from inside the fixture mine has been fine. If you did not remove that filter I would start there. Maybe you are getting build up caught in it. Mine has been working great with no drop in pressure.

I do not have that in mine! It could be defective,but if it holds water and there is no leak,and the place is not thin then I would not worry about it.IT hope this helps!!

I have two Totos (6 years) and have not had a problem like you describe. Are you familiar with the Terry Love plumbing forum? Check it out. I am there quite often looking for answers to any plumbing concerns.

My guess is that you are loosing pressure. Not much, but some. Most likely a faucet is dripping somewhere. Or toilet. Even a small drip adds up over 30 minutes, just enough to trigger the switch to build pressure again. Check again. Inside & out.

I've had mine in our kitchen sink for at least two months and it's perfect - no rust. Could it be water difference? I'm in Western Washington.

I fill my unit I/2 inch from the top. If the water still flows poorly, check the pump, it may have a blockage. Rinse the pump real well. Hopefully this will help.

The top white porcelain sink extends about a 1/2 inch in the back and sits flush against my wall, the Plummer added caulking to seal any gap (don't know if that how everyone does it but that's how mine was installed). There is a 1/2 maybe 1/4 inch gap between my wall and the back wooden part of the vanity and I do have large baseboards so yes it sits flush where the porcelain sink portion meets the wall but there is a slight gap between the wooden vanity portion and the wall. I don't think you can even notice it and then again that's how mine was installed, don't know if that's right or wrong but it was professionally installed.

Hello, I can only account for my hot tub leak I'm afraid. However, I applied Fix a Leak while the tub was circulating but removed the filters first. As the tub is above ground and I knew where the leaks were I was able to monitor it and all three leaks stopped within 2 minutes. I was delighted but one of them came back a fortnight later. This time I trickled the Fix a Leak over the known problem area having removed the filters first and only used a small amount until the leak stopped once again. I then devised a way of taking as much Fix a Leak out of the bottom of the tub as it separates and is heavier than the water. Then I put the filters back in, waited a day and have been enjoying a leak free tub for around a month now. This may not be relevant to your specific problem but it may help.

That has nothing to do with the sink that has to do with your plumbing. Mine doesn't pool and empties readily.
