Hey question my little o ring that retains the cap split and fell out. Has anyone replaced theirs or know where to get replacement o rings?

Getting an O-ring is one thing. Getting it to stay in the cap is futile. It just sits in there no way to make it stay there...

I have not experienced that issue. The maker will have a O ring for you. I think you should contact them. They may have you send it in for repair. Maybe for free.

Same issue here... In the process of cleaning it out, I saw that the small plastic ring had fallen off and was at the bottom of the bottle. I reattached it and Viola! It started working again!

A suggestion to try is to lubricate your existing o-ring with some petroleum jelly (Vaseline) or venerable oil before reinstalling. That may stop the leak and restore your current o-ring. Just be careful not to use too much and don't use anything you wouldn't put in your own mouth. This technique has worked for 2 years for me with no deterioration or leaks at the o-ring seals. I haved used Vaseline, Crisco, and antibiotic ointment in the tube also works well and caused no problems with my fish.

Did it crack around the threads? Mine did also after a year or so, probably due to me constantly adjusting the angle and maybe hanging or pulling too hard on the head. I patched it for a little longer use and then eventually just bought a new one after a year or so usage. It was time for a new filter anyway and the whole unit is the same price as a replacement filter. GL!

Mine works fine, never had either of them fall out. Maybe you can get a replacement or refund..........hopefully.

So far, this is the only flaw I've found. The threads on the cap are too flexible and if you over-tighten (like I did) the cap get's stuck or stops threading. So far, I haven't found a good replacement. I'm looking around for a plug instead of a cap, but the opening is a bit odd shaped. I'll let you know if I find an easy solution, but for now I just have a small rag rolled up and jammed in the hole. It's not a solution, but I had work to do. lol

If you can't get one from the manufacturer, try using a rubber O ring which you can buy from your local hardware store.

Not sure if mine was just stretched but the gasket to mine kept falling off. Eventually it came off while blending and was destroyed. Never could find an exact replacement, but after some measuring I found that a 60mmx56mmx2mm silicone O ring should fit. Turns out they do! You can order a pack of ten through Amazon for $5. They are a tighter fit so they don't fall off, so I'd say they're better than the original gasket.

I wouldn't know how to fix it. I have two. The silicone washer under the cap fell off,reason unknown. I called Bodum and they sent a replacement right away. I would suggest you call their customer service and advise them the problem. I'm sure they will take care of the problem. Other than the minor problem, they work great.

The filter did not come with a replacement O-Ring. I used my old undamaged O-Ring and used it with a FOOD GRADE silicon lubricant because I use my water for drinking and food preparation.

Yes I had that issue when I replaced my filters. If it is comming from the two large openings then unscrew them and re-seat the rubber o-ring. Screw the caps back on and that fixed my problem.

I did the same thing. I then realized that there was no O ring. As soon as I put the O ring on I was able to tighten it facing upwards.

Where did you get the knuckle. Mine broke at the top hub and I can't find any anywhere and I'm out of luck if I don't find one. Would appreciate it greatly!

As suggested by another respondent, I would guess that your problem stems from the o-ring, since that is the sealing element. I would try swapping the o-ring with the old one and try reinstalling it.

O-ring? Or you tightened up the valve too much and the threads got stripped. I'd ask the inventor of the paintball adapter set up

Does it still clip? I haven't encountered that problem.Maybe take a picture and send it to Eddie Bauer and see if they can send you a new part.
