Is the spout glass or plastic? It is plastic in the picture. If it is plastic, has it been redesigned to fix the leak problem?

Mine has a glass spout and I haven't experienced any problems with leaking.

Before you try to replace it, you may have the same problem I had. Mine was leaking excessively, but upon reading the included care instructions, I discovered that you can remedy the leakage by reaching one hand inside the container and one outside. Grab the spigot and twist to tighten. It will need to the tightened each time you use it, but if you give a good turn, it will last a while. Hope this helps!

Mine clogs! I love the container except for the plastic spigot and heard that you can buy a metal one from Amazon that is good. No sure which one it is.. sorry I could not be more helpful.. :(sorry I cannot be more helpful.. :(

I think it's supposed to be a spill proof spout. I don't use it because I needed my sons liquids to just flow so he learns to drink properly with the spout stopping the flow. HTH

Both the lid and the jar are glass. The spigot is metal and feels well made. Saw no leaks when we used it!

its a plastic spigot. I've had mine for a few months now and it has not given any problems or leaks.

You're correct. I've used the plastic one since I bought it 1 year ago and haven't had any leaks. Maybe I just got lucky. As for the regulator, it still works just as great as the day I got it.

It's plastic. It's also not fully water-tight. Water drips out if it's turned upside down or sideways.

Plastic. The spout occasionally pops off. I've never had one do that before, however, I use mine for hand soap rather than lotion. I don't believe I would buy another one like it. Hope that helps you.

The spout is plastic, however, it is a very strong plastic and seems to be very sturdy.

The original spigot is plastic with a silver coating. I purchased a ceramic spigot as a replacement/backup in case the original loses its seal from reviews I've read.

Have to say with mine it's both. I don't believe the blue seal on the cap is sufficient and it appears that the spout doesnt open enough to complete the seal/it's misproperly placed. I may have just gotten a lemon.

The head is plastic. That's the only part I found. The faucet works OK. The thing I don't care for is, the spout is so high up and by the time the water reaches the sink bottom it's going very fast and suddenly you realize you've turned it up too much, it's splashing all over the place. It doesn't have a very fine hi - low adjustment. I've had mine in for 6 months and have yet to get used to adjusting it.

The black piece on the left near the end of the hose in the photo is rubber like. You insert it into the gutter, it is funnel shaped and will catch most of the water...the extra flows off it and down the spout. When the barrel is full you don't have to do anything...the water just can't go in the barrel anymore. I highly recommend getting a better spigot. .it comes with plastic. I do however think this is an excellent system. Very easy to install and works great.

The spigot is plastic. I do worry about that but it works well and doesn't leak. It is the only negative about this beautiful beverage jar dispenser. The stand and lid are chromed metal.
