My new primo leaks at the connection between bottle and dispenser. I have the provided gasket in place. What am I doing wrong??

Could be you aren't tightening it enough. There should be two gaskets, one on the outside and one on the inside. If that's still not fixed it you might have either a crack in the spigot/gasket or the ceramic has a crack. There aren't that many things that could go wrong so hopefully one of those things is your answer.

I would removed both gasket on each side and do it again and tighten it enough so that it does not leak. If it still leak, go to any hardware store and just get a new gasket.

Are you using the 1lb small gas bottles? If so the may not be sealing good. But also the regulator could be leaking. A solution of soapy water in a spray bottle will find the leak.

Sorry, can't help you there. I've never had a leaking problem with my MaxExtract. Maybe the seals have dirt around them not allowing the device to seat smoothly into the track? Are the seals dried out? If so; try a thin layer of any brand extra virgin olive oil on them. Be sure to let it set a while before gently rubbing it off, though. If the seals are too bad, then look in your manual and see about replacing them.

It is a problem. I am not that happy with how they have sealed the top. The first time I used this in a Tri, I did not secure the inner bottle down with the rubber band and it was creeping up. I pushed it down only to be drenched with gatorade. So for the next 55 miles of my ride, I was very sticky. I ended up making my own gasket to seal the top. You then need to open it to refill, but it is better than having the liquid come out of the bottle.

Have you tried usimg that white sealant tape on the connections you have to screw on? That is something that is necessary on things like this yet are not usually included. When I bought my pump it used to leak air as well until I used that tape.

Did you remove the plastic bushing that used to sit between the water bottle and the cooler? I did and I had some leakage - when I returned the bushing (ring), the fit wasn't great, but the unit sealed such that I can have the lower portion of the filter unit 1/2 full and not have leaking. If that doesn't work, you can try a sheet of silicone or food grade rubber and cut a hole in it for the filter unit to sit. Alternatively, the filter unit comes with a check valve that is supposed to close off the filter from the crock when the crock is full - is that operating?

I had the same problem on one of the three I bought. I just put some thick gas rated Teflon tape. Mine was just slightly to big. If it's just way to off send it back

Mine became loose, as well. I carefully removed the gasket, then placed a rubber band on the lid. Lastly, I carefully placed the original gasket on top of the rubber band. It now has a tighter fit than when I first purchased it.

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.

Hello RonaldThe Graf pump I received had a very snug gasket. It was over a month ago that I replaced this, but it fit perfect and have no issues with it currently. Recommend calling the mfg if possible to see about getting a better gasket. You want that to be snug. Or returning it for another. Did yours have the cardboard sheath over it to protect the impeller

I have the same problem. The problem is a little Gasket inside the Flush Valve Assembly (THU322) which over time gets cut from the pressure against the plastic rim. I'm currently contacting Toto on this and crossing my fingers they have good customer service.

I had slight leakage and had to put it in hot water (not boiling) for about 15 minutes to soften up the gasket. After that it worked fine. I didn't call the company, but I probably should have. It works fine now. Hope this helps...

I'm not sure what you mean. Did something happen to the gasket on yours or does it just leak? Mine retains liquid every time something is poured from it. It is a huge flaw in this product, wish I could find a new cover that fit and didn't leak.

There is also a gasket that goes on the top. I would guess that is what your issue is.

I had a similar issue with a Rhino tank. However, mine would connect, but it leaked. I bought some yellow gas line tape and wrapped the connection on the tank 3 or 4 times - no more leak issues.

I Have had this problem, and it is a very easy fix. Make sure that the black hose connector is inserted correctly into the canister (lever facing the primer button). I believe that when this piece is inserted backwards there are check valves that do not allow flow in the proper direction. This is a design flaw, it would be very easy to design the piece so it only fits in the canister in the correct orientation.

Mine leaked. You might need new gasket rings. Mine always broke and didn't seal completely.
