The steam vac I have is leaking cleaning solution from the bottom of the vac even when I'm not pressing the solution trigger. It does this whenever it is on or off. Anytime there is fluid in the vac. I can't figure out if it is clean solution or dirty water but it never used to do this. I haven't used in in about a year and I think I have it put together correctly. What would cause this?
The hose leading from the tank to the sprayer head on the bottom of the unit, or the tank is not seated properly or the tank has a hole or crack
There is a seal that is located where the transfer hose connects to the actual filling tank. this will need to be replaced. also, make sure the trigger isn't getting stuck slightly in the open position.
The problem is that underneath the tray where the clean water/solution tank sits it leaks. It is not the rubber seal! I'm having the same problem as I'm typing this.
That piece in the picture I posted screws in and is supposed to serve as a seal from underneath. However the solution and water leak out from the sides which results in the leak problem.

The plastic connector that goes into the black rubber hose for the fluid broke.
I have opened the machine and pried the broken end piece out of the rubber hose and then used Aqua Mend epoxy and glued the plastic pieces back together....(make sure you put a screwdriver inside the broken part all the way through to make sure you don't close the hole with the epoxy....water/solution has to flow through this part) replaced the rubber hose and hopefully it will work ??
I just J B welded mine, didn't leave the hole. Now it's not leaking, but don't have any water movement. Can u please explain where this hole is so I can take out the JB weld & replace it with the hole this time. Thank you!
