Why all of a sudden do these start leaking? I've had to replace 3 in the last 2 months because of leaking.

I had same issue. Here is what you need to do. Call the PUR customer service # at 1-800-PUR-LINE (1-800-787-5463). Tell them your model # and the attachment (letter A-D, etc.) that you are using to attach the filter to your faucet. Tell them the issues you are having and ask them to send you the metal connector. This is what we did and have not had any issues. The plastic connector is the problem. Their metal connector is the solution. Why in the world they don't ship the product with the metal connector is a great mystery. Best part they should send you the part you need at no cost to you for anything. They even ship it to you for free. Hope this helps. I had same issue. Here is what you need to do. Call the PUR customer service # at 1-800-PUR-LINE (1-800-787-5463).

I think they leak because they're poorly designed. Mine leaked from when it was brand new. It started out just weeping a bit and gradually got worse. Now it leaks a lot, plus the LED no longer illuminates to show you whether the cartridge is good or not.I used to really like PUR filters, but then the one previous to this started cracking and leaking and it was just past the warranty period. This one seems to be even more poorly made, but I kept it because I had spare filters to use up. They're now gone and so is PUR.I don't think I'll ever buy any of their products again. They're just coasting on their good reputation from years ago. I think they leak because they're poorly designed. Mine leaked from when it was brand new.

The piece connecting it to youer tap that they gave you was badly made. We had the same problem. if you get in touch with PUR directly and talk to a manager they should send you the new version of that piece. It works perfectly. i found this phone number 800-541-8001. Hope it helps

Check the inner washer to make sure it doesn't pinch. Rather than replace try to remove and reset on facet.

Go here to get a replacement adapter: http://www.pur.com/support#request. I had to make a separate request for each filter I have and they sent them really fast - little over a week I think. You get metal A and plastic B, C, and D adapters.

Mine have only ever leaked when my child has chewed on the spout & created a larger hole in it. Otherwise, never & I've been using them for about a year.

Leaking could be that the tanks are not sitting right. Take them off and place them back in again making sure it is sitting in right.

Did you check if maybe you overfilled the unit? If not, than maybe you should return for a new one. I have had mine for 6 months and i have never had a leak. So maybe your unit could be defected?

Mine started leaking after 2.5 months and the return policy is 30 days. I could understand why they can't take them back much longer than this, but I do think you have to be careful with these things as the seams are not well made.

Mine is also starting to leak at a couple of the joints. I am not sure what to do but am considering buying that silicon water proofing spray to see if that helps

They do leak as ice melts or if you put water in them. You can probably seal the edges of the base with some clear sealant to eliminate this problem.

It takes a couple weeks for mine to leak down but I don't know if they all do

They leaked a bit with just water. Make sure you have the bottoms on completely tight. It wasn't generally a big problem for me.

You have a defective sprayer....I've bought three of these and never had a problem leaking....e-mail them..this is way too expensive to be loosing so much product

I have two of them and neither leak. I have had one for a year and clean it monthly and the other about 3 months now. No leaks from either one.

Yes ours is leaking also, what have you tried? My husband thinks he needs to tork the screws tighter. Wanted me to see if anyone else had this problem and how they fixed it.

We've had ours for 2 months and no leaking problems. Will definitely check valve assembly from time to time.

Because it is leaking. I had the same problem and called Hamilton Beach and they are sending me a new unit. Had a choice of whether to wait until the end of the month when they will have a new improved one of the same model or a different model. I chose to go for a different model. All I had to pay is $13.00 for shipping.

Idk...but i don't use mine daily..but when I do use it..i havent noticed any problems..not yet anyway..i will post if I see a problem. .which part is breaking and leaking?
1492135
No, sounds like something isn't in tight. I've never had a problem with any of mine leaking. Give the company a call

I'm not sure. The ones I've used never leaked. I'd contact Amazon if I were you.
