Also had a slow leak after 1 day - patched it, but has another . Also filled with sand and perhaps some roughage got in without knowing . Perhaps also a manufacturers fault in some as my second one is OKMarlene

Sorry, on my review I wrote that this thing leaked before we even got to use it. I also used sand.. could not find the leak.. waste of money unless you want to keep adding air.

I had the same problem, because of the bottom rubber gasket that makes it really hard to screw down tightly. I solved it by getting rid of the gasket and using plumbers putty instead. No leaks.

Hi Austin, I only use the two pieces and have no attachments. Sorry i couldn't help. Try calling the company you bought it from and see if you can return it. My two piece does not leak.

Hi C23, how did u finally resolve this issue, or did U?I see others suggested the foam inside was likely impeding the flow into the reservoir. I see 1 person took it out, added oil, then put it back in - a good idea as I think its needed to prevent oil from outflowing too fast... Hope u found a solution!

Mine also leaked. I contacted Hamilton Beach and returned it. Perhaps you'll need to do the same.

The problem is I could not detect the leak. Maybe you can assist how to trace the leak. Is it using a special equipment or other methods. Thanks.

I took mine apart and put Vaseline around the water inlet fitting, which has done the trick for over six months now. I disconnected the fittings, coated the water line and fitting with Vaseline and reassembled. I asked my local hardware store person about the leaking and he suggested this. It works!

There was a patch kit that came with our original mattress. But the cement had hardened in the container and nothing we tried worked to repair the leak. Thus we purchased a new mattress here on Amazon.

After putting 25lb of sand into it I couldn't get find a comfortable way to inflate it orally so I used a traditional stand-up bike pump with a tapered nozzle and it worked ok, still holding air from the first fill after several months. I wouldn't recommend a needle or clamping tip to the pump.

After my response to you I watched two youtube videos on refilling it as suggested by another post to you, using regular water. It can be done and it looks easy enough to do.

Hi Kate - well it seems that only us purchasers will accept that this product has a problem with the leaking - krups it seems don't - I've emailed them. I am now about to send my THIRD Circolo back (purchased this time through Co-op online just to make sure it was not a 'faulty batch' that Amazon had in stock. Seems that it was not. Anyhows, going to chose another style now - don't want to because I love the modern style of the Circolo but it seems to me that until Krups acknowledge that there is a problem they won't actually sort it out!

I think it depends where the leak is. If it's in a flat smooth area a tire or swimming pool patch might do. If it appears to be near a seam or valve it may be more difficult to fix.

a little air leak is ok -- it just needs to keep pumping water to stay cool -- if it ran dry, its probably damaged

I used vinyl pool repair kit make sure you apply adhesive to patch, both sides of vinly were smooth ours was under water so fold it upon itself until you reach the area to be patch then open and place patch.hold for a few seconds. still holding this year.

one time i had a leak, it was caused by putting more water in the top than needed in the bottom half...do not put more water than has been used i eyeball the measure with my fingers the height of the water missing in the bottom and put the same measure of water in the top......no more leaks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did not drain the pool. You do have to backwash to waste after several days of circulating the Fix A Leak. The instructions will tell you that you can not let your filter media go dry as I guess the Fix A Leak will clog the media. I have a sand filter and what I did was replace about a bags full of old sand with new sand just to be sure. My situation was I had a leak at the end of the season that I couldn't find. I didn't want to let the water level drop drastically over the winter so I put an entire bottle of Fix A Leak in my pool upon winterizing. I manually circulated the water (with a brush) for about 1/2 an hour, and waited a few days to see if leak stopped. Leak did stop, and so I covered the pool as usual. Over the winter the water level never dropped. In the spring I opened the pool as usual, but, as Fix A Leak is heavier than water I removed 4 o r5 inches of bottom water with a submersible pump that I moved around the pool. I then used normal opening chemicals and filtered as usual. After about a week I replaced some of the sand in the filter. Hope this helps. Sorry for the long winded answer.

The hole on the bottom is a one way air valve, it doesn't leak! So fill before and I leave it filled until next time.
