Has anyone tried to keep the shut-off valve halfway through (if that is even possible) so as to not pressurize the line and cause leakage?

yes i made it all the way through (its possible)..having asked such question marks the possibility of you having a defected/broken shutoff valve..in case you do..try to shut down the water of the house as whole before replacing it or call the maintenance guy plus if you have leakage you need a teflon tape

Weird. Is the hot water valve all the way open after installation? Do you have good pressure with cold water? If not is something under the sink pinching the hose? Never heard of anything like this. BTW I'm just a consumer not a plumber.

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.

I discovered that it's best to close the tank valve and leave the grill on so the gas in the line will mostly burn out. Otherwise when you disconnect there is 12' of LP in the line that will spray out.

There is a long leader hose without shutoff valve. You can add one of these easily by purchasing at Lowes or Home Depot. (I did)

I went thru 2 of these. We had pretty high watee pressure and the switch leaked on both of them. It mostly turnrd it off but there was a constant dribbling when i usedvthe switch.

nope. i've used mine about 10 times now without any problems. the first use though, i needed to put some olive oil on the pressure valve but that's it.

No I have not had this problem. I have had it a few years. No drips. I would guess it is not likely to stop either, just due to the nature of drips.

Seems obvious, but make the valve is completely off before attaching. Also ensure that the o-ring/gasket is still intact, if it is damaged or missing, you'll have virtually no barrier to stop gas from leaking out around the threads.

I have had this product for some 5 years now and have not had the problem. I agree that you might not get sufficient water pressure INTO the filter and thus out from the filter to the tank. Or the mechanism that shuts it off is set to shut off too soon??

The fitting has nothing to do with the problem. The problem is internal. I believe it is the diagram which will not let the pump shut off once it is activated. Once the water is drained and the float lowers/returns to the normal "off" position, the water never turns off.

I would if I still had it. I read the reviews and order it. The review I read said the water shut off valve worked very good and didnt leak when closed. Sold me right there. 30 bucks later or whatever it cost it came in and had no shut off valve at ALL. AMAZON or whoever needs to post reviews to THAT item . Not THEIR items.

If you hold it upside down and push the valve release in while your screwing it on it releases the air that pushes the water out after you close it. Then you don't get the leakage. Other than that, I just run clean up the leaks. Hope this helps.

Keep the shut off valve to full open mode. I observed this happening when the shut off valve is kept on partial open position. Also check if the head of the sprayer is fastened properly. It will leak if the spray head is not tight enough. Hope this helps.

if you leave the valve open it will leak, close it every time you used it, now if that does not solve the problem you can call the factory's customer services and they can help you, they helped me when had questions.

so far, mine has been fine but i did read a few reviews that others had this problem before i got the hang of it, had trouble closing it and figuring out the steam non-steam valve and it would not even go on but subsequently - after getting help from my grand-daughter it is fine. is there a problem with closing and/or the gasket - is it clean?

I've had mine since August 2012 and have had no problems whatsoever. I assume you mean the control section that sticks out to the side. Was it damaged in any way during install or use? On mine, I had to connect the water line before mounting it to the toilet as it would have been in the way. If by any chance you are referring to the water shut off valve coming out of your wall, I've learned to NEVER try to turn them off. They are usually badly corroded internally and start leaking (or worse, the handle comes off in your hand) after you turn the handle. I found that out when I replaced some sink faucets. Instead, use the street valve to shut off all water to the house and save yourself an emergency trip to Home Depot for a replacement valve, if it's not past closing time and you now have no running water until you can get to them when they open the next day.
