I used Di-limonene cleaner and it worked great for about an hour. Then it started leaking around the tip where the nozzle connects. Any suggestions?

I would try a deferent nozzle. Dilimonene is a real good cleaner. It shouldn't harm it might gum it up over time. I use mine for carb cleaner and brake cleaners. Only problem I've had is the shrader air valve seal sticking.

I use brake cleaner in mine, there is slight leakage for me, try a different nozzle.

I have only had my diffuser for a couple of months so have not had any issues yet. I have filled it a little too full with water and it would not work otherwise no problems. I see someone else said to use Dawn to clean it. I would try a little vinegar first.

I had the same problem as yours. But after I used Teflon tape as you did and let is leak little for a week or so, it stopped by itself. So hope it will happen to you also.

Did you put the fine film of oil on the lid? I originally missed that on my AA. I have only gotten a slight steam leak once or twice, but it seemed to stop when I got up to pressure. Sorry I can't help more.

I bought a beer line cleaning kit and cleaned all the hoses and took everything apart. Be sure to put some keg lube on the tap to be sure not to pinch/kink the neoprene washers.

Wow. Sorry, I haven't had that problem. Depends on where it's leaking. Might try a new cleaning cartridge and then call the manufacturers help line if that doesn't work.. you can also clean it manually if needed. Check your Operation manual. Might be a stop-gap till you can get it fixed. Good Luck.

Oh no! Mine just started leaking too and I'm not sure if it's too late to return it. Let me know what happens with yours. I really have enjoyed this dispenser until now.

I have no idea why other reviewers said it leaked. It will have some water that remains in the hose even after you turn it "off," but my solution to that is to hold the spray handle down until the water stops before hanging it back up. I've not had any problems with mine and I use mine constantly :-).

If you're sure that it isn't just over-filled (can happen if bottle is squeezed), then I'd drain, shake, & let the unit dry out. Then, seal the leak; the best seal imo is that Lazer Bond stuff, not too expensive.

SO frustrating when that happens! I'd look around the house for another spray bottle that's nearly empty and use that, or go to the 99¢ store and buy a product in a similar bottle, like glass cleaner, and dump the contents and use that bottle. Good luck!

Did you wet it? It is not made for that. I clean mine with rubbing alcohol or brush cleaner and have had no problem. Hope this helps and good luck,

Double check that the tip is cut open. Then put the applicator syringe In a caulking gun and slowly squeeze the leak freeze in to the ac.

Same thing happened to me. The bottle I received squirted a stream at first. So, I ran the the whole can under warm water for about a minute then I took off the tip and placed that I hot water for about a minute. Seemed to fix the problem and it finally sprayed as a mist.

in my case it is due to the hard water problem here. there is some white powder left and i suspect it is the residue between hard water and the disinfectant, which blocks the nozzle. so i removed the bottle and put vinegar inside the cabin where you use to place the bottle. then i waited for 10 min and the nozzle works again.

I had the exact same problem. I finally broke down and bought some extra tips. Supposedly you can soak them in acetone to clean the tips.(I think it needs to soak for 24 hrs.

I too had problems with it leaking. I am not using this, but went back to a plastic hose coupler. not perfect, but better that this device. G
