Soap dispenser leaking

15 years ago

Hi,

We have a soap dispenser installed in our counter top and it is constantly leaking. It's to the point that when i need soap instead of pumping it out I just wipe the sponge around the dispenser to sop up all the leaked soap. We've taken it apart and washed it but doesn't seem to fix it. Any ideas?

Thanks - Rita

Some dispensers are just poorly made. My Hamat leaked all over the place. Replaced it with a Mountain Plumbing dispenser which works great.

Mine only leaks when I've just filled it and added too much detergent. If you pump some back into the bottle will that help? (I love the soap dispenser an wouldn't want a kitchen sink without one.) btw, am I the only one who could not get that Never-MT to work?

cross-stitch--DH primed ours by dribbling soap into the top end and then attached it to the dispenser.

Ours is from Grohe, i thought that was a quality dispenser. We've tried a bunch of different fixes. I'll look into Mountain Plumbing. Thanks for the help.

Ours are Kohler and other than the occasional "sticking", they work fine. No problems w/the Never-MTs. It does, though, take a long time to "prime" it the first time.

I have replaced the Blanco Empressa dispenser 3x and each one starts leaking after a few months. I dilute the Dawn dish soap as instructed by Blanco but it's still leaking. Fighting for a refund from Blanco so I can replace with a different dispenser. My last house had a Kohler soap dispenser and I moved after 23 years and it never leaked!

We have a new Koehler dispenser and it leaks. Like you we wipe the soap from around the dispenser vs pumping soap. My take is….everything has poor QC since Covid. Sad.
