Why does my Gardena leak from the control box

There may not be a washer installed in the fitting, the fitting may not be tight or you may not have firmly seated the hose on the fitting! I cannot think of any other reasons unless the plastic is cracked.

Mine leaks too, no matter what I do and it's brand new. It doesn't leak at the hose, but between the plastic connectors.

Gardena uses seals that might dry out over time. Open the control box, take carefully out the seal and put on it some diving lubrication. Put the seal carefully back were it belongs and srew the box back together again. It should fix the problem.Cheers Dennis

I agree with the other answers listed here. But another way (rather than diver lube) is pipe tape. It is cheap and "fills" in the spacing between the threads. Wind the tape - two or three times around - in the direction that you will be screwing the Gardena adapter on. So to recap - replace washer, check plastic for cracks (on both items), and use pipe tape.

Ours is leaking uncontrollably. We had the maintenance guy in our building come put it in so I know it's not an installation error.

Sounds like you have air trapped in the system. You could try taking the filters out and flushing the system with water and reinstalling the filters. I'm assuming that you have no leaks in it.

Since mine is installed, the main valve has been remained open. If your spray head is leaking, my guess is that you have less than perfect parts and/or the installation was not done properly.

That's a really good question, and one I didn't think to ask. It leaked, anyway, so mine is a planter now.

If your water flow is falling off and your getting a cup or two out of your unit it could be the pressure tank battler is leaking. replace it and restore the water flow again.

Lucy - I'll bet that the leaking is coming at the point where your hose attaches to the sprayer. Check the female receptacle on the Havaheart sprayer and see if their is a washer that your hose is supposed rto butt up against. If not, you can get hose washers for less that a buck at any hardware store. Good luck. I was able to get thru the eintire growing season without deer caused crop damage in my gardem This is the only product that ever worked for me. Lee

Mine doesn't leak, maybe put some pipe tape around the threads see if that works

When I overloaded or I didn't cut the fruit tiny, the bottom would leak. Check to make sure the rubber seal at the top is aligned in the threads. GOOD LUCK!

Mine do this too. A few of the spray tops leak a ton also. I will not be purchasing these again

My first one leaked like yours. I threw it away and bought a new one. The new one has not leaked I would say return it!

There is a rubber type gasket that runs around the outside to stop leaking. You can remove it.

Unfortunately you can't. Danby will spin a good tale and say the air is humid. You can call them on 1-800-263-2629. I did. Many times. They will refer you to a service agent who will say this is normal and advise you to run two pieces of garden hose from the drain ports to a bucket. The end result will be that they wash their hands of a very poor design and do nothing for you.I no longer use my unit as it's caused more damage to wooden floors that the unit cost.So, if you want to continue using it get some garden hose and a bucket. And good luck!

That's NOT good. My system has never leaked. You should contact the manufacturer.

I would recommend soaking the lid in vinegar for awhile, and i have even cleaned the float valve (? - circular stop valve) w/ q-tips -- clean that area out really well. I would also recommend highly to use coffee filters vs. the reuable gold filter. Once i cleaned and used disposible filters -- it stopped the leaking. Good luck to you~!
