OK>>>> The pressure valve started leaking air so I just kept turning the know counter clockwise until I "backed" it "hard" and problem sloved?

These are so poorly re-manufactured it's a joke. My second one is already acting up after only 60 days.

Return it. If it is not holding air in the tire then it is defective. Otherwise inflate tire and see where the leak is it could be the valve stem or the wheel itself. To check to find leak get a spray bottle with sudsy water and spray the whole thing down

Just for that kind of test (overnight air leak), I have had mine pumped up to pressure since I received it. It has probably bled off a couple pounds a WEEK as per the mounted included gauge. Your overnight air loss is usually attributed to having the air hose connected to the outlet port on the compressor and having a accessory attached to the air hose,,,then the unit WILL leak air overnight,,as with most if not all compressors in that configuration. When not in use, remove the air hose from the compressor quick connect outlet port.

Sounds like you got a defective one. Mine was easy to swap out, no issues. I made sure the center post was properly inserted into the bottom of the valve. I swapped out my old one because it was doing the same thing, letting water out of the waste when in filter mode. It seemed to be related to the lack of spring tension keeping the handle down vs anything else. Good luck.

Hi, I don't have that problem with mine (I have 4 installed). there are only two things that will make this valve leak. The mating surface inside the valve is damaged or the mating surface on your oil pan is somehow compromised.

Did you changed filter cartridges? Make sure your water valve is open all the way!! If is a new install it takes a while to built pressure!! There a lot of air in the lines!! Disconnect tank from plastic hose and drain any water inside also disconnect all three filters and start precidure. Sometimes filter don't lock properly!!

Where is it leaking from? Are you making sure the lever is closed all the way? Sometimes it can be a little difficult to close all the way

I had the same problem. After using a wrench to get the whole thing off, then used more tools to get it apart, it leaked like a sieve after I screwed it back on. I'd like to know the answer myself because I bought a new one.

Make sure your valves are in the right position of they are anyway lose you will lose air. Valves are very touchy but the will hold air if they are in the right position. I had no problem with mine after figuring out the valve adjustment.

I had trouble with that too. You have to be very careful as the alignment of it very precise. If you don't do it exact you will hit the valve and it will release water. Do this just temporary. Put the whole thing on your kitchen counter top so that you can see it closer. Do this with no water in the tank just to practice. You will see what has to be lined up to keep from hitting the valve to soon.Practice putting the tank in place. This will let you see how precise you have to be to not hit the valve to soon. Now put the unit back on the floor and go thru the motions you just learned. You got to be patient. Hope this will help you. Al I had trouble with that too.

What made all the difference for me in my hunt to stop the leaks was to simply do this -- after screwing together the bottom and top of the unit using just normal effort, I would then LOCK the pressure valve in place. I've experienced not even a drop of water leaking when on the burner.

You need to squeeze the valve while you blow into it. It is a bit hard to do at first, but does loosen up after you use it a bit. Hope that helps!

I'm not a plumber, but I would suspect either the placement of the check valve or the valve itself. The valve should be screwed into the pump housing - not somewhere up the line. If that's okay, there might be something keeping the valve from closing properly - dirt or a faulty valve. Does the gurgling stop right away? Is water backflowing after the pump turns off?

Leaking how? I've never had a problem with mine. Open the air pressure release valve when not in use and screw it in tight before use again. But it shouldn't leak, it's all one piece.

The pressure valve should not be leaking. Check the level of of the heat you are using. My will blow steam if the burner is too high, otherwise I would contact Amazon about an exchange.

Yes, replace that valve. High water pressure can cause damages in faucets, etc.

Not sure. I turnrd on snd off three times to assess pressure and the valve broke off in my hand. I wasn't forcing it either.
