I just bought these and the two times i have used them they leak from the bottom. Is there a special way of closing the bottle ?

I don't think so! Sometimes I tend to re close the bottom because it doesn't always seemed sealed and I'm not sure if that helps, but I haven't had any issues.

I guys that blue color sealing part is not placed in its position. Else it won't leak.

I know we've seen a difference between the blue part being entirely dry. It leaks when the pieces aren't dry. Also, the arrows being as closely lined up as possible helps too. Hope that helped.

Make sure the threads are in correctly and the arrows line up. Sometimes, we have to screw the bottom so the arrows almost line up or just past lining up. I think this is because we're switching bottoms between bottles? It's a little finicky. But with the wide latch top, still our baby's favorite bottle!

No just make sure the silicon is placed the right way and you tighten it when you close. that's pretty much it

I've had the same issue and I can't seem to find a cause either. It kind of seems to be hit and miss.

Mine did the same thing. I just pushed them back in and that worked. It was rather difficult to do, but they went in. Just make sure to push at the base of the yellow spigot. If you try to press ON the yellow spigot or the metal piece that sticks out you may damage it and it could start leaking. I hope that works for you!!

I have 4 of these bottles and I have trouble with one of my lids - it goes on crooked and leaks. :(

You have to make sure that you tighten the cap after filling it up. I haven't had an issue with it leaking.

Where are they leaking from? Are the pumps cracked somewhere? Make sure everything is screwed together tightly and the pump is on the bottle tightly as well. Also make sure you are making complete pumps, all the way down and the pump comes back up. You may want to clean them by pumping hot water through them a few times. I've had mine for over 6 months with no problems. Good luck.

I have not had any leakage with mine, I keep them on the syrup bottles in the fridge.

Either your caps or your bottles are defective. Exchange them with Amazon or contact Lifefactory directly. I own 10 of the 9-ounce size bottles and have used them to transport drinks for my daughter almost daily for over a year. I have never had one leak. We also use them to mix formula and have to shake them vigorously for several minutes; no leaks. Lifefactory advertises these as leakproof so I'm sure they will help you resolve the issue if Amazon doesn't. Good luck!

I have not had a leaking problem with my bottles, but for clarification you should contact Brita directly.

Sounds like you're not closing it all the way, you should hear a snap when it's closed all the way. I have 3 & none of them leak, they've been great!

bottom piece with the 3 prongs has a release pin, pull the pin down and slide the whole bottom piece off. Then take that piece and put inside mouth of bottle (standing upright) then turn upside down and make sure liquor is not leaking out that piece...Top piece of unit, pull up extention arm w/bar and slide bottle under it and then slide bottom piece back on til it clicks. If unit is a good unit and has no leaky seals, will not leak ....hope this helps. Have had 17 mos with no problems or leaks. If there are no directions with this when you bought...NOT A DUMB QUESTION..

No! That is absolutely NOT normal. It must have leaked (this happened to me once). Contact the company through amazon and they will send you a refund. They need to figure out a better way to ship these bottles to prevent leakage!!

Not that I know of. There isn't any way to seal or close the top. They are great for warming up in a hot cup of water. Warm to desired temp in a quarter of the time it takes to wam a plastic bottle.

My bottle also leaked when stored horizontally. So I keep it upright in storage now. Teflon tape might also work.

Mine do this too. A few of the spray tops leak a ton also. I will not be purchasing these again

I only use them for water, but simply put - if you close the lid and turn it upside down nothing comes out. So I would assume no matter what liquid you put in there it would not leak out.

No- I just filled one with water and turned it upside down, and nothing leaked out. It is a super tight seal

The clear plastic insert attached to the bottle is supposed to fit inside the bottle lid. I have two bottles and when lid is screwed on there is no leakage on either one. I wonder if there is a defect with the clear plastic insert or the lid. You might check to see if the clear plastic is inserted rightly into the bottle. I have tested mine a few times after reading this, and mine are both sealed tight when lid is screwed on. You might contact seller. I am very pleased with my product.
