My current backflow is leaking from the bottom. However I don't see any sign of external cracking or other damage. Is there a chance that I might just need a repair kit? Leak is from the little retangular plastic piece that drops down.

A repair kit will probably fix you. I have done a couple. They are worth the money. Most import is to stretch the springs that ship. Stretch before you install. They may not provide enough resistance out of the box. I failed an inspection and was told by the water company to stretch the springs.

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!

Mine also started to leak. I sent it in for repairs and it has worked fine without any leaks since.

Mine leaked a little at first. Check rubber seals inside the screw on piece.I love this pool, one of the best purchases I've made to date. Look up inflatable intex hot tub. That's an even better buy!

Other than the water left over in the grooves from either rinsing or over filling it and then closing it I haven't had a problem with it leaking. It could also be the rubber attachment, I took nine off right when I got it because it was irritating me.

I followed the suggestion of a few other people on here and disassembled it completely and put it back together. I have two and they haven't leaked.

Mine didn't start to leak until I crashed it a bunch. Even then it wasn't much at all. A couple drops here or there, but that's it.

Amazon asked me to answer this question, but others did it very well. So..."ditto". Great faucet, by the way! I've had mine for several years, with only one ceramic disk replaced to stop a leak. I'm hard on things, so you might not have that problem. If you do, it's not hard to fix yourself, if you have even a little know-how. Enjoy!

Yes, it's probably the cheapest and best alternative solution to finding out if your problem is minor or major. If your ML still leaks after properly using the Lucas stop leak you may want to have a mechanic look at it.

I have 2 of these and no leak issues with either. Where is it leaking? If you are sure it's a seal issue, return and get a new one.

Probably, but check that the rubber gaskets aren't the problem. There's also the water line connection into the tank, which is where I've personally seen the most leak troubles. If it's been installed a while and just started leaking, then it's likely a rubber gasket issue which you should be able to replace for a couple bucks at any home improvement story.

Leaking how? I've never had a problem with mine. Open the air pressure release valve when not in use and screw it in tight before use again. But it shouldn't leak, it's all one piece.

Mine is fine now. At first I installed it with the washer on the inside and it leaked like crazy. then I read the instructions (I rarely do this, lol) and when I put it together the right way, it didn't leak a drop.

It depends how bad it is leaking but on a new one it shouldn't be noticeable. It is not uncommon for them to leak a little with wear.

Good luck! My tank leaked on mine and I was unable to find just the tank. This is reportedly a problem with this model. My faucet was ok, just the tank....would have purchased something else, but due to no clearance on the splashback am stuck with this model. If you find where you can buy just the tank, I would appreciate your sharing, since the lifespan is only about 3 years from what I have read. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

If it's not installed right, of course leakage is possible. Have a professional install it for you.

I have not had any leaks from the spigot, do a water test when you get it. Make sure the rubber gasket is seated correctly.
